Zettelkasten

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. The main idea of this system is creating a global cloud of atomic notes and linking each notes. This system (manifested as a shelf of 60,000 notes) was credited as his writing partner.

To make it more efficient, the workflow further describes the idea of creating good future-proof notes (see 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.
  • A hierarchy to describe the notes. This enforces easier organization and classifying your notes.
  • The gradual improvement of the captured notes into Evergreen notes.
