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: The Zettelkasten Method for Hindu Philosophy • Zettelkasten Method
@Sascha cross-posted this in the subreddit r/Zettelkasten with the title "Studying Hindu Philosophy With Your Zettelkasten", and there is some feisty discussion there about whether Sascha is really using the Zettelkasten Method. It's quite entertaining. (I don't have a Reddit account, but I read the subreddit on rare… -
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. However, there are times when those objects may refer to qualities one may or may not have. For example, let's imagine I have two different… -

[First Zettel] The reading of a text must be accompanied by notes and writing
Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and to all this Zettelkasten method. I've tried writing my first Zettel and I would apreciate if you could tell me what I can improve in it!

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…
