I've almost finished creating a reference card for my reading marks that I'm thinking to use alongside my index card notebook for active reading. I used to slip loose index cards directly between pages, but they were far too easy to lose. Cards would fall out, get misplaced, or disappear into the chaos of a busy day. Now I often use the index card notebook when I want to annotate a passage. I then write the note on a card in the notebook and mark the book page with that card's ID number. Everything stays organized and nothing gets lost. It's a much better approach, but I'm always wondering: Are there even more effective methods out there? I'd love to hear from you: How do you add marks and annotations to your books while reading?? Do you use a system like mine? Are you a traditional highlighter? Do you use sticky notes? Do you keep a separate reading journal? Share your method in the comments. What marks you use, why you chose it, and what keeps your system working reliably. Your insights might help me refine this reference card into something truly practical for active readers. Looking forward to learning from your reading habits! https://sites.google.com/view/paperstackpro/home/extra-tools
