Chapter 1: Introduction to Efficient Note-Taking
Have you ever found yourself wishing for a way to succinctly gather the key points of an article without the hassle of manual note-taking? Do you want to document and share your learning journey in real-time? If so, GLASP might be the ideal solution for you.
What is GLASP?
GLASP is a valuable tool designed to help you acquire knowledge while organizing quotes and insights you encounter online. With this app, you can annotate quotes, assign tags, link to related articles, and access all your notes in a single location.
Highlighting as You Read
When you come across something captivating on social media, highlight the text. You can then launch the GLASP app to add your notes. This allows you to save your highlights and notes in one convenient place. When you copy a highlight, it automatically includes all relevant source information, including a link to the original content.
Here's an example of my first highlight using GLASP.
You can easily share your highlights and notes by clicking on the share button located next to the three-dot menu.
Be Selective
By consolidating your highlights, you gain an opportunity to reflect on the social media content you consume. If you predominantly read current news, consider incorporating insightful articles from credible experts. As you review your highlights, ponder these questions:
- Does this article provide a balanced perspective on the topic?
- Is it rich in detailed information?
- Will this content remain relevant over time?
- Is the author knowledgeable about the subject matter?
- Is this merely a surface-level opinion lacking depth?
Organizing Your Highlights
GLASP serves as an excellent method for documenting notes as you read, complete with source attribution for future reference in articles or essays. You can utilize tags to keep your information neatly organized. Here, you can see my recent highlights categorized under tags like ‘women’, ‘politics’, ‘rights’, and ‘leadership’.
Exploring Community Highlights
GLASP also allows you to discover intriguing content that other users have highlighted. The platform features an intuitive search and organization system using tags that interest you.
Utilizing the Search Function
As illustrated below, I searched for "leadership," and all highlights tagged with this keyword are readily accessible for your review.
