Hmmm... I can't seem to escape to take notes abou note-taking. But then again, note-taking is a form of PIM.

Zettelkasten is a note-taking method popularized by Niklas Luhmann known for his prolific writings from 400 academic articles to 70 books in a lifetime.
|
|
This system, manifested as a shelf of 60,000 notes, was credited as his writing partner.
|
|
|
|
The main idea of this system is creating a global cloud of [[roam:Non-linear notes]], individually called as zettels, without any hierarchy or separation.
|
|
This non-linear system encourages freely linking between each ideas making it easier for gaining new ideas similar to neurons in your brain.
|
|
|
|
While the absence of hierarchy is good for free-linking and filling gaps between wildly different topics, those ideas have to start from somewhere.
|
|
The traditional [[id:d3fbdb1a-9629-45ef-9f08-32c6e49025bb][Linear notes]] still have a place that it enforces structure.
|
|
Eventually, if the structured note is getting too big, you can separate the points into multiple zettels.
|
|
|
|
To make it more efficient, the workflow further describes the idea of creating good future-proof notes (see [[id:3994e8d7-8d77-4f52-9650-330369e82143][Future-proofing your notes is only worth if the future is relevant]]).
|
|
Most writings about this seem to agree to the following ideas.
|
|
|
|
- A method to capture notes on-the-fly.
|
|
This encourages to capture as many ideas as possible.
|
|
|
|
- The lack of hierarchy to describe the notes.
|
|
This enforces easier organization and classifying your notes.
|
|
|
|
- The gradual improvement of the captured notes into [[id:431532c3-6506-4565-b193-dbfb60eac7d6][Evergreen notes]].
