Do you review your zettelkasten to see if you're writing a duplicate?
More than once now I've been faced with the situation of writing a new note that contains essentially the same point of a note I made some time ago. Not that note cards are expensive, of course, but it is irritating. What should one do then? Leave the duplicate note? Annotate the first note with the fact that you had this… -
Specific query about creating a useful note
Hi. I have been creating Zettels off and on for last 3 years (currently having 450 notes). Requesting your advice and suggestions on a confusion I often experience I have heard that each note should only be about one idea. However, many times I am creating notes that might have multiple sub ideas but I don't feel each sub… -
New to The Archive - how do I create note identifiers?
I've just installed The Archive and am learning to use it. I'm a long-time NV / NVAlt user, so I feel at home in the app right away. But I have one question: how do I create identifiers? Can The Archive create them automatically for me when I make a new note or do I have to manually add one (perhaps via text expansion) at… -

How to insert photographs?
Hi all, How would you incorporate photos into your zk? I'd like to take 4x6 prints and incorporate them. Would you use a photo editing program to put in the reference number or would you use a sleeve? Seems a perfect integration to me. -

Special Symbols ('§' or '!') in Zettel File Names: How Do You Use Them?
I've noticed that some Zettelkasten practitioners use special symbols like "!" or "§" at the start of their Zettel file names, placed before the Zettel ID (e.g., "§ YYYYMMDDHHmm"). While I understand that these symbols can affect the sorting order of digital files, I'm curious about their specific usage within the… -
A Zettelkasten Adventure
The year is 2022, and after a long journey I arrive in the country I have been longing for. It's the 2nd of March and I've been on solid ground for a long time. It's not far from the beach to the next big settlement. Forum Zettelkasten is written on a big sign at the entrance to the village. The street is a hive of… -
Is Anyone Using Whiteboarding with their Zettelkasten?
Hi everyone. I've mentioned a few times how an important purpose of my ZK is to help me write a personal/family history. This has been an ongoing project in my ZK for 3-4 years. The process so far has been: * Simply writing zettels on random topics of interest to me or based on memories that pop into my head randomly (or… -
Re: Switching all Management of Personal and Business Data to Logseq
Hi @MartinBB Thanks for your recent post and the screenshot for the DayPlanner in Obsidian. I've been taking a Logseq course by Dario da Silva (called Logseq Mastery). He mentions that he sometimes looks at his Logseq database using Obsidian, (apparently Obsidian can read the Logseq data files directly). I've downloaded…
