Looking for pointers, advice or suggestions on improving workflow with alternative use of tags.
I've always had trouble making use of tags in any notetaking app. I understand that some people use them as an alternative to: * the search function * categories * folder structure But that hasn't worked for me. However, one thing I've tried has gotten me thinking... When something I'm making a note about sparks an idea, I… -
Philosophical Tools for Zettelkasten
Today, I asked myself if there are any philosophical tools that could be useful for my Zettelkasten. Here's the result of my research: I'm an engineer and a data scientist. Are there any philosophers on this forum who can prove whether Ekkehard Martens' Five-Finger Model works well in our context? -
Request for comments: Zettelksten post
With some trepidation, I ask for comments on Hypertext 2: Zettelkasten: I say "trepidition" because I'm a novice. I justify a novice writing for novices in three ways, most important here being the third: -
What is happening in your ZK journey? Nov/1/2025

[Journal] Knowledge Work - Mauro
2025-10-25 Learning C++ Following Sascha’s example I decided to start journaling my Zettelkasten practice. I’m a computer engineering student, and in the meantime, I do some freelance projects for some local enterprises. My areas of interest at the moment are mainly math and programming. Today I’ve started brushing up my… -
Specificity of "top level" categories
I'm following Bob Doto's advice and using Luhmann's numbering scheme, which in effect imposes a tree structure on top of a more free-form linking structure. My top-level titles are weird: * 1.5: The brain is expensive. * 3.3: Republic of Letters letters were often sent multi-hop * 4.3: Russian fairy tales are constructed… -
Luhmann's random browsing
In @Sascha's nice translation of “Kommunikation mit Zettelkästen” (much thanks!), Luhmann speaks much of randomness in ways that are not clear to me. I've read somewhere that I can no longer find – bad note-taker! bad! – that Luhmann would sometimes browse the Zettelkasten with no fixed purpose, moving about it… -

Remindered: A New Term for Cognitive Architecture - And Why UIDs Enable Cognitive Breadcrumbing

I'm calling I it "remindered"—the architectural act of being triggered back into a cognitive context at exactly the right moment, not just reminded of a task. chrisokeefe.io/remindered We have reminders. We have remembering. But we don't have a…
