My only complaint is the title. This books is meant for everyone and everyone should read it, whether you're a student, book writer or not. Perhaps those groups of people will find it the most useful, I certainly wish I has read this before university. But I truly do believe that almost anyone will find the slip box useful in an extremely significant way.

I really can't explain how much I like this book but I like it in this unexplainable way because it gives you such a helpful and useful system for organising raw knowledge. Before this book I had never even considered that this is something that should be organised, even though in GTD terms it definitely has represented an open loop in my mind for a very long time.

All I can say is: the sooner you read this book the better. The more books and articles and youtube videos you realised you could have watched with a slip box will depress you all the more after you finish Smart Notes.

The arguments for having a slip box really do seem sound, and after reading the book I can't think of an alternative.
