Admittedly I haven’t tried either of these methods, but just from reading this post, they both seem prohibitively over-complex. There’s also no mention of Spaced Repetition, which is unquestionably the best method for remembering things.

Instead of complex note systems, try this: write down quotes, paragraphs, summaries and other related information, add them to Anki / another SRS, and do the cards everyday. That’s it. Simplicity is key to building habits and I’d bet any money that SRS works better anyway.
