The book’s words blend into yours
In six months your reading notes have covered 40 books. You copied out passages you liked and wrote your thoughts right below them. Reading them back, you can’t tell where the book ends. A sentence you thought was your own idea turns out to be the author’s.
Make the copied lines a quote
Open the note in BijaVault and tap “+” at the top right. Under “Text”, choose “Quote”. A line with a vertical bar on its left is added. Copy the passage there.
Pressing Return inside a quote moves to the next line of the same quote. When you have finished copying, press Return a few times. Once you are on a line without the bar, write your own thoughts there.
When you read it back, only the lines with the bar are the book’s words.
Separate books with headings
If you keep several books in one note, make each title a heading so the breaks are clear. Choose “H2” or another heading under “Text” in the “+” menu. To find a word inside the note, use the magnifying glass at the top right.
What you need
Adding quotes and headings requires a period in which you can write: while you have a subscription, or during the three days unlocked by watching an ad.
