But the real power comes from the way Dendro helps you break down what you're reading into a more useful form. If you haven't added any sources yet, please check out the first video in this series. If you've already added some sources, all you need to do to start learning is click Engage.\n\nThe first thing you'll notice is that Dendro selects something from your collection. When you've got a lot of things to read and want to cover a lot of ground, this takes away the decision fatigue and gets you straight into the reading part. As you come across useful sections in your sources, you can highlight them and click Add Note. What this does is create new notes, that are linked to the original source. Over time, you'll revisit both the new notes and this source as you continue to dig deeper.\n\nAn important skill in using Dendro is noticing your attention. Sometimes the things you read can really pull you in and you get lost in them. Other times, you might lose interest after just a couple of paragraphs. When that happens, just mark your location so you can pick up next time Dendro shows you this page. Then you can click Next.\n\nIn this way, in a single Dendro session, which might last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or so, you can cover many articles and many different topics, while staying fully focused on what you're reading."}
