Saint Augustine instructs Francesco Petrarch on the ZKM
Critique my zettel. This one is an atomized idea from my reading of _Manguel, Alberto. A history of reading. 2014. _ It is longish at 436 words and includes AI help with translation, a Wikipedia link, the relevant quote, and my assimilation into my ZK. With your help, it can be improved. The content of this note might be… -
[Zettel Feedback] Meta zettelkasting note review "The Power of the ZK Method"
This may be too fluffy for some "rational" types, but I loved working with this idea. It is a note about making notes. I'm primarily interested in formatting suggestions and questions. I'm up for arguing any of the details of the content. I'm trying to make less and less of these #meta-ZK notes. This is one of two #meta-ZK… -

Re: Special Symbols ('§' or '!') in Zettel File Names: How Do You Use Them?
@dylanjr, I don't use those particular symbols. I use letters, as I find them easier to type and remember. I keep a note titled "Zettelkasten Legend 201812071155," and here are its contents. There is no convention. I do this because it gives me information about the note's contents when I look at the note list. They act… -

Re: Mathematical definition of Folgezettel
You pulled off a thorough discussion of your example by displaying an example. Not the easiest thing to do, but as you told us what you were doing, you did precisely that. Anyone commenting on your zettel format would only be picking around the edges. I'm referring to that "futzing, second-guessing, backtracking, and… -
Re: How do you process historical sources with a Zettelkasten?
It is not a question of either/or but both. A ZK contains a spectrum of ideas and links. A spectrum of idea associations that call for links. From purely independent ideas to developing others' ideas to ideas that others have had about ideas. Some notes are cataclysmic and struggle to contain the burst of your ideas, and… -
Re: Choosing software
Choosing software 202110010514 Welcome. What are your fields of study? That can often help you focus on which software stack to employ. I'm curious, what time zone are you in? I'm in Pacific Daylight Time. There is no need to abandon any of the software you listed, but none of them contain the fundamentals needed in the… -
Re: Mathematical definition of Folgezettel
@ZettelDistraction, thanks for sharing your ideas about a checklist. Below is my note on this topic with revisions spurred by your example. I am thinking in the context of a simplified workflow. I create notes exclusively using the templating the software stack I use allows. It provides an algorithmically based choice for…
