I highlight so much while reading but I never actually go back to any of it. anyone else?

I read mostly on my phone, mostly PDFs. And I highlight a lot. Like genuinely underline parts that hit me, add little notes to myself, the whole thing.

But then I finish the book and those highlights just... disappear into the file. I never see them again unless I open the book and scroll through it which honestly I never do.

I tried taking screenshots of the parts I wanted to remember and saving them in my notes app. That worked for like two weeks before it became a mess.

I don't want to re read the whole book. I just want to flip through what I saved, like flipping through a little stack of cards with my favorite parts on them. That's it. Is that too much to ask lol

What do you guys actually do with your highlights? Do you have a system that works or do you just accept that they're gone?
