Think-Draw-Wait: Three Steps for a Visual Zettelkasten.
It takes time to wait. Today, I created a sequence diagram to reveal one of my 'secret Zettelkasten workflows':

My Zettelkasten reminded me of an old idea from 2023 published on the Obsidian forum. To create the diagram today I used the PlantUML plugin for Obsidan.

@Edmund You must be the Master of using diagrams to map various Zettelkasten processes (and other processes, for that matter). Do you find using this approach clarifies your thinking?
I've used mind maps in a limited way to document engineering design processes and find, even if I think I know the entire process, that the mind map helps to clarify certain aspects of a process. And sometimes, I discover a few additional elements or flow paths.
I'm curious: What is the "Outline Wall"?
