Kommunikationspartner
Luhmann often described his Zettelkasten as a communicative partner. It seems that it was more than just a metaphor for him. Of course, the slip box does not have an independent consciousness, a life of its own. Sooner or later, however, the phenomenon of animation arises. I have a question for the community participants.… -
Im new and have questions
Hey, I'm new to the Zettelkasten Method and have some questions I can't really find an answer to. How long should a Note be? Here comes a lot of bla-bla, just skip to the Itaic part: I summarised the introduction to the Zettelkasten (this -> °Link°) to get an overview etc. and used 1700 words, but i think thats to much… -

Library Card Catalog Card Generator
Surfing around with respect to library card catalogs, I ran across John Blyberg's Library Card Generator this afternoon.

The real brain twister is Hegel. @ZettelDistraction Thanks! Reminds me of this article: https://indianapublicmedia.org/amomentofscience/brains-slime.php -
The GRID system for frictionless Zettelkasten Organisation
Hello all, A seriously long time lurker (3+ years) turned member here.

Many thanks to Sascha, Christian, and those who regularly… -
What to do with multiple topics?
Hi, everyone! I'm so glad to have discovered this forum. A question has been nagging me ever since I started my ZK journey, and that is: what do I do if I'm into multiple topics? My interests are all over the place: I'm into photography, sociology, history, theology, philosophy, linguistics, and education. I am not sure… -
zettelkasten connections and medical learning
i have been training for a job in the medical field (maybe a bit of an understatement in regards to the cost and mental toil, but saying i'm in med school has its implications because i'm really not.) and about two-and-a-bit months ago, i decided to start a zettelkasten. i learned all about it and wrote notes about the…
