Notes While Consuming

I like to create notes while I consume different media. This makes me think about them more and allows me to form my ideas better. It also allows me to expand on different thoughts I had about various things that came to mind while experiencing this media. These notes are usually quite rough and can take many forms based on how I feel at the time.

I think this is a really great way to be more mindful of what you are consuming and what you think and feel about the media. It forces you to think about and take more effort in consuming. This in turn stops you from continuing to consume things you either do not enjoy, or things that don't enthuse you as much. As a result your consumption ends up more interntional.

This originates from watching Odyseas who recommended such an approach to get more from the media you experience. He has many videos on this topic.
