Hey that's really cool, been doing something similar and will probably try some of your tips out! I stopped trying to be "efficient", meaning trying to move on to the next thing quickly. And besides being really engaging and fun, it's rewarding when notes look like they've been taken proper care of. Also, what's your experience with Obsidian's canvas? I've been trying to come up with a workflow to use canvases for specific topics or books to organize notes visually, like a mind map. I still feel it's a bit awkward that you end up having two levels of linking notes--through the canvas and through the notes themselves, and they don't necessarily correlate--but I guess it can end up being helpful if the canvas is for a specific purpose.
Taking your time has huge leverage. It makes you realize you can't process all of the content you consume anyway, so why bother spending time on watching things that are not going to stick?
I like Canvas so far, I used it to create my Zettelkasten course and it became a huge beast of a canvas, but it was super helpful to array my notes visually.
I also like excalidraw, there's a video about that coming up!
