My Strategy To Consume Information Effectively

Artem describes a method for readers of non-fiction—students, researchers, and knowledge workers—who want to extract durable understanding from books rather than simply increase the number of volumes they finish.

Artem speaks to readers overwhelmed by the sheer number of non-fiction books, who cannot afford to spend weeks on titles that ultimately provide little value or relevance.

Artem outlines a workflow for knowledge workers who combine reading with long-term note-taking, particularly users of Obsidian, Readwise, and Zettelkasten-style “atomic notes.”

Artem targets learners who consume a lot of recorded lectures and conference talks on YouTube and need a scalable way to decide which ones deserve a full watch and detailed notes.
