It should be your thought after reading the book. I would call it Evernote digital bookcase.</p>\n<p>I divided my Evernote digital bookcase finishing system into three steps.</p>\n<h2>1. Make a book list(create your bookcase)</h2>\n<p>Before starting to read a book, I organize a book list in my Evernote. The list will include the name of the book, when I start to read and finish reading the book, and the note link.</p>\n<p><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;  max-width: 600px;\"\n    >\n      <span\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\"\n    style=\"padding-bottom: 64%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\"\n  ></span>\n  <img\n        class=\"gatsby-resp-image-image\"\n        alt=\"create evernote digital bookcase\"\n        title=\"create evernote digital bookcase\"\n        src=\"/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/0a47e/step1.png\"\n        srcset=\"/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/8a4e8/step1.png 150w,\n/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/5a46d/step1.png 300w,\n/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/0a47e/step1.png 600w,\n/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/1cfc2/step1.png 900w,\n/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/c1b63/step1.png 1200w,\n/static/9114017f3413518327000b097b80216c/4b39a/step1.png 3104w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\n        style=\"width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;vertical-align:middle;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n      />\n    </span></p>\n<p>Many good books are published daily. We don’t have enough time to catch up every books. The thing we can do is to put it in our Evernote digital bookcase and take it out when we got some time.</p>\n<h2>2. Use post-it to mark the page</h2>\n<p>When I am reading the book, I will prepare the <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Post-Assorted-5-Inch-Dispensers-683XL1/dp/B00QL1AW00/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&#x26;keywords=sticky+bookmark&#x26;qid=1589775810&#x26;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">post-it</a> and mark the page I will revisit or I think it’s worth taking the note.\nI used to use two colors to mark the page and each color has different meaning</p>\n<ul>\n<li>blue: the page or the section is worth reading again</li>\n<li>green: the page which I get inspired and I will put my thought to Evernote</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you read the digital book, taking the mark would be easier. If you are using Kindle, you can take a quick note on Kindle and export the note to Evernote afterwards.</p>\n<p>So, after you finish a part of the book, it’s the time to take the note in Evernote.</p>\n<h3>How?</h3>\n<p>As I mention, we use two post-it colors.
