How I annotate books as a PhD student (simple and efficient)

A DEEP DIVE into what I do while reading - particularly academic books that I own a physical copy of. How I annotate, what the different coloured sticky notes mean, what I save for reference, what I do with the stickies when I'm done reading, etc. This is just what works for me and what I've been doing for the past year or two. NOTE: These sticky tabs can leave a sticky residue on some books, so they are not advised for library books or books with glossy pages.
