Note-taking while reading

[Bookish_Tropes]

I read books in all 3 forms (physical, digital, and audio) and for the longest time I've been trying to figure outan efficient way to take notes that doesn't feel awkward. For context, I'm autistic and have ADHD and basic executive dysfunction issues like "task switching" is my reason for this difficulty, but I know others experience this issue for other reasons as well.

Typing on a touchpad in a separate application is always a hindrance, writing in a physical physical notebook requires a lot of "extra steps" that block it for me and when I'm in the middle of listening it likely means I'm moving around doing other things and "can't" stop to find the notebook and jot down notes every X pages.

What methods do y'all use? Any recommendations? What does your note-taking process look like?

I've always hated taking notes while reading since it pulls me out of the story.
I mostly read on my kindle these days and will just bookmark the page and highlight whatever text I wanted to note. Then when I have time I can go back and look through the highlights and write actual notes somewhere if I need to since the highlighted text is usually enough to jog my memory.
If I'm reading a physical book I'll keep a stack of sticky notes by me and use those to mark the pages (I hate folding corners). If you don't like marking up your books you can always just place the sticky note on the line you would have highlighted.
I hope that helps!
