Zettelkasten Forum


Hello ~

Hi people!

Decided to finally sign up after lurking here for a few months.

I aim to use the Zettelkasten method to help with working out parallels in different fields and to make my thinking cleaner. Which might not be an ideal usage, but I found that my mind gets cluttered easily, and offloading my thoughts / ideas in a structured manner at least helps me not to lose them (unlike random scribbles on throwaway paper...)

I work on paper, which I find much more flexible than digital. Though I transferred to a Supernote which is a compromise I was willing to make to free up physical space.

My main "problem" is that I can easily go blank when deciding what to include in my Z. and how to structure it (which is why I'm really looking forwards to Sasha's book :* ). And generally thinking that my note is not descriptive enough, does not convey the information I want it to convey. Mostly "me" problems.

Well. I don't think I can add anything of use to discussions at this point, but now I'll lurk with a profile, lol.

Nice to meet y'all.

    I understand too well. I got into minimalism a couple of years ago because I started wanting space more than I wanted 'stuff'. It's a journey, and everyone finds there own balance.

    Perhaps, I will have something for you before. A video "How to Start your Zettelkasten" is already planned and outlined to support the introduction which I will publish before the book is out.

    I am a Zettler

    Yeah, and having to move a lot made me realize how burdened I am with "stuff". But one thing I will never get rid of is my books... 😈

    Thank you!

    Thank you!

    And sounds great!

    Also read your other reply about the book being paperback first. Which I am extra happy about as I prefer physical books.
