How the Barbell Method of Reading and Note-Making Saved My Life.
When I started my ZK in 2018, I adopted the Barbell Method of Reading as my note-taking workflow. I've made only minor tweaks over time. Today, I still adhere to the core idea of reading freely, quickly noting everything that captures my interest, and then revisiting and processing those notes before adding them to my ZK,… -
Re: Antinet Zettelkasten
I read both an early draft of Scheper's book as well as the published one and typically do not recommend it for a litany of reasons, many of which have been mentioned in the thread above. The better recommendation currently is Bob Doto's new book from July which I've also read both early drafts and published copies. I also… -
Critique My Note Refactoring Journey
This idea has been festering since February when @Andy brought up @Philaquino post1. It's a prime example of refactoring a large collection of notes collected during my reading. 2 Let's examine the format, process, or content of this note. How does it fit into the ZKM scheme? Is this approach even appropriate? First, I owe… -
How to deal with arbitrariness when using object tags for qualities?
Hello! Yesterday, I experienced a situation that I'm surprised I didn't notice before. When we use object tags, we seek to identify the objects interacting in a note's main argument.

Writing project: ReSwift Recipes Collection
I've been mentioning here and there that I wanted to assemble a (book) outline or two since Christmas, but so far, no progress. So to create more leverage through peer pressure, I'm going to share progress here. The topic is an open source library I'm a co-maintainer of for a couple of years now.… -
Trouble Setting Reminder to Review Zettel (using KM, AppleScript, Reminders)
This post may belong better on the KM or AppleScript forums, but I thought I'd ask here first mainly because I bet someone will have a far easier process than I'm trying to build. After writing a Zettel in The Archive, I want to remind myself to review it in a day, and after that, remind myself for a few days later. A… -
[Zettel Feedback] Dogs are reactive to strong personas
202201260740 Dogs are reactive to strong personas #Reactivity #Self #Persona In my experience, dogs respond when people have built a strong persona. It is no different with us humans. People who have a strong persona come across to us as dishonest, insincere, insecure and/or generally untrustworthy. However, we humans have…
