Reading notes

A reading log frame in three steps: quote, thought, application.

How to use it

If you summarize a book only after finishing it, most of it is already gone. While reading, move the sentences that snag you into quotes and add one line about why.

The last section is application. Write the one behavior this book changes, so the reading ends in action instead of archive.

How it opens in the editor

Open the template and this skeleton lands in the editor, with Cite, Paper and File ready in the toolbar.
