Pareto Principle tied to note-taking — stress testing an idea
I am exposing my thinking to public scrutiny as a way of probing the universe, seeking wisdom, and improving my thoughts. Writing ideas in the form of notes is an essential act, and hugely impacts my thinking. For example, I spent the morning writing this little diatribe. In the process, my thinking improved, but I still… -
What physical steps do you take when linking existing Zettels to a new one?
It takes me about 20-30 minutes to create 1 Zettel sometimes because my linking process often involves sifting through my Slipbox to find the right note to place my note behind. As my Slipbox grows, it becomes cumbersome to keep this up. I see plenty of posts share abstract advice for linking Zettels together and… -

How to approach an "updated stance" in your Zettelkasten?
Hello Zettelkasten friends, Say you have accumulated a lot of notes from different books.

Do you: * Update your existing notes, even if… -

Re: Poll: Which AI feature would you prefer for your workflow?
I don't have a strong feeling either way; both would be useful. But I lean a bit towards "door #2", so have voted for that one. My reasoning is that between plentiful tagging and structure notes, I have a pretty good idea of my topics (but not a perfect or comprehensive idea). On the other hand, when writing a zettel, I'd… -
[Zettel feedback] Functor (Yeah, just that)
This is a very technical note. A somewhat mathematical, even. On a meta-level, it's interesting to me because category theory is a field for which I have 0 (zero!) formal knowledge. I only know some practical applications from programming patterns. That makes writing a note among the lines of "WTF is a functor" a permanent… -

Re: Question, evolving ideas, contradictions: how to manage non-truth in a Zettelkasten?
The term "digital graveyard" might be offensive to some, but it has an element of truth: the notion of finality. I think of my Zettelkasten as a combination of garden and graveyard. Here lies idea #23922, contradicted by note #12430958 and the following references [@furd; pp 1111], [@snurd; pp 9], and [@phurd; pp 155-209].… -
