Swimming with Ideas
This is another opportunity to share your current project with fellow forum members. Add to this discussion by sharing your experience with your zettelkasten journey. Share with us what you're learning. Sharing helps us clarify our goals and visualize our thinking. And sometimes, a conversation sparks a magical moment where we can dive into an idea worth exploring. I'd love to hear more from you. 🫵🏼
Here is my report on why I'm here and my current ZK work themes and ideas:
- I'm here because of the community.
- I'm here to share and learn.
- I'm currently working on my backlog of incomplete and half-baked zettels.

This rolling 15-day zettel production is produced by a script for attachment to my daily journaling template. I use Bear to keep my journaling separate from my work on knowledge.
Please let me know if you would like to review, discuss, or provide feedback on these notes.
My 15 day zettel production

I hope my contribution is helpful, and you have even better ideas.

Hello, I just joined the ZK forum and have been using Archive for a week -- it's terrific! I settled on this system because it's so reminiscent of Notational Velocity, which I used for years in an academic setting. I'm currently writing a curriculum to accompany my work as a YMCA Livestrong (cancer exercise) instructor. Question: I purchased the Archive license for my laptop, to use it on another computer (desktop), is a separate license required? Thanks for any feedback!
Hello and welcome to the forum! I believe you can use your current license for The Archive for any computer which you own and for your use. Clearly, if you wanted to install it on multiple computers so that others could use it, you should get a license for each user. But @ctietze or @Sascha can correct me, if I am wrong
Thanks so much for the prompt response!
I appreciate the feedback! However I have entered the registration name and license code into my desktop Archive program, and the Register link returns an "Invalid License Code" message. It says "the combination of name and license code did not match. Maybe you have got a typo? Try Again". Multiple (careful) attempts, same result. But at least I can access Archive on the computer on which it was downloaded and received the access code when purchased. Paul
I replied in https://forum.zettelkasten.de/discussion/851/deactivate-license before I saw this, hope it helps

It‘s the same for me. And my backlog is growing:

100% organic thinking. Less than 5% AI-generated ideas.
Not exactly the same. My proofing oven contains 44 notes out of a total of 4351. The notes I am focused on are in various raw capture states. My strategy is to dedicate one Pomodoro each day to incrementally advance the notes in my proofing oven.
