Prompt

Apply progressive summarization to a doc or source, the note-taking method Tiago Forte describes in Building a Second Brain. Explain briefly; don't role-play the author.

Input: a doc, an article link, or notes.

Create the layers in a new doc (keep the original untouched): 1. Layer 1, captured notes: the passages worth keeping from the source, quoted accurately, with the source linked 2. Layer 2, bold: the key sentences within those passages, in bold 3. Layer 3, highlight: the best of the bold, the few lines that capture the essence 4. Layer 4, executive summary: 3-5 bullets in my own words at the top of the doc 5. Layer 5, remix: suggest 2-3 ways I could use this in my current projects, based on my other docs

Add a short line on where this note belongs (which project, area or resource). Each layer should be noticeably shorter than the last. Never change the meaning of a quote.
