BlueBird, if what you are doing works for you I'd keep doing it. People learn differently. It pays to use the style that works for that person.
It's been donkey years since I was in school, but I had to do a LOT of reading in grad school. I would highlight and write notes in the margin as I read. If there was something I wanted to come back and read again, I'd flag the page with a post-it. I didn't read for a set amount of time. I'd read until my brain said it was time for a break. I'd usually go do something physical for a little bit (again, no set time) because that allowed me to let my brain go on idle for awhile.
Going to repeat myself, if what you are doing is working for you I'd recommend continuing.
