I have a notebook where I jot down memorable things from books and movies

Just read, don’t worry about the rest. I know a guy who regurgitates crap from every conference he’s attended, every book read. Makes me wonder if he writes everything down and quizzes himself daily to memorize these things. He sounds like a walking self help book rattling off other people’s marketing hype. Don’t be that guy.
