Hello and Happy New Year to all

JdBa2

I stumbled across the concept of Zettelkasten a couple of days ago and it has seriously captured my interest. I've struggled with conventional note-taking techniques because of my own attention deficit issues. Reading about this method seems like it's a wonderful way to (finally?) corral my thoughts shooting in every direction into some kind of network or structure.

Like the person who posted a couple of threads down, I also suffered major brain fog from long COVID that only cleared up about a year ago. I feel so much better now, but reorganizing my thought processes has been a serious challenge. I've been wanting to write a book for a while; I hope this might be the organizational entry point I've been looking for. If Zettelkasten does what is says on the tin (with some self discipline applied), I'll be thrilled.

Thanks for such an affordable and thoughtful piece of software. Happy New Year to everyone!

I can feel your frustration. Writing down old memories or feelings is a real mess. I'm glad you found this place, I think you are in good company here.

Happy new year!

A Zettelkasten New Year’s Wish

As the year begins, a blank card in hand,
May your thoughts take root and your insights expand.
Let your notes grow deep, your links intertwine,
In a year of discovery, both yours and mine.

Happy New Year to all my Zettelkasten friends!
