I started using these transparent sticky notes instead of directly writing on the book as most books have less gutter space and restrict what I can write.
Regarding this "Sometimes, when the material offers plenty of new insights and concepts, I pursue additional reading, such as blog posts and conference talks".
How do you stop yourself from diving too deep into the rabbit hole?
For me, it's usually distracting if I leave the book and start wandering around in the browser. It's good in some senses, but feels counter-productive in hindsight at times.

Nifty. I cannot not use extensions now, because the notes overflow all the time

As long as I don't forget what I'm pursuing, I'm not too bothered by the "spelunking". That's where the "pace it" guideline helps.
