Me! It's bloody hard, isn't it. I literally read the intros/abstracts, then skim read the article, skipping to bits that seem relevant, make brief notes in a doc as I go along, and copy and paste any interesting sections into that too that I can use later (not directly).

I'm trying to do one a day! Not enough!
