1. I make mind maps and do inline annotation a la marginalia.

2. I haven't figured out a process for compilation but my plan is to condense big concepts into readable texts with the intent of sharing them with others.

3. Spaced repetition works, but it is labor-intensive. I use a combination of spaced repetition, mnemonic images (like Sketchy.com), memory palaces and reflective journaling to process my hands-on experiments.

4. I can combine my mind maps to see connections between texts. For example, maybe one book talks about scalability in passing, and another goes in-depth. If I compare those two maps I can see the gaps between each and it helps me see how the two texts are related.
