If you're anything like me, you read a lot. You probably retain less.
And if you're really like me, you probably retain almost nothing.
So I worked on a system to go from information to networked knowledge. It's my Information Operating System, and @roamresearch is the core.

When I get article or book highlights into Roam with @readwise, I put them through @tiagoforte's progressive summarization.
Going back through the highlights, I also take three other sets of notes:
Literature Notes
Transient Notes
Ideas

Literature Notes are my commentary and other thoughts that are tightly coupled to the source article.
I'll connect any related highlights to them via blockrefs.
Transient notes are more conceptual and independent, some will bloom into evergreen notes

Ideas are for inspiration you get while going through your highlights. These can turn into research topics 
, article ideas 
, or projects 
.
As you collect evergreens, you can remix and reuse them for these and more. After all why have knowledge if you don't use it?

Evergreen notes are richly backlinked to many topics and referenced from multiple sources. They are independent, but their power comes from their links to other topics and concepts. @andy_matuschak demonstrates their power handily in his working notes: https://notes.andymatuschak.com
