Cal Newport talks about zettelkasten.de
Cal Newport, my favourite productivity guru, just mentioned zettelkasten.de and The Archive in his latest Podcast Episode (ep. 61) around the 01:08:12 minute mark.
The point I found most important was that he emphasised that the Zettelkasten method doesn't do the heavy, cognitive work for you. But it can help to organise, structure and enhance ones thinking.
The „Deep Questions“ Podcast is great for all the productivity geeks. I can highly recommend it.
Howdy, Stranger!

A bit messy and all over the place. But the thing about you need to do the hard work yourself is spot on.
I am a Zettler
Cool, thanks for sharing, @Sönke!

I've been reading Cal since we were both students, then I found Zettelkasten years later… now Cal finds the Zettelkasten. The circle is complete.
※ Back in 2007 I read this from Cal, Monday Master Class: How to Build a Paper Research Database, which made me think of structuring my notes and somehow I found about the Zettelksten many years later. https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2007/10/01/monday-master-class-how-to-build-a-paper-research-database/
