How I use Folgezettel in unison with timestamps
It has often been debated here whether we should use folgezettel in the digital context, often contrasted with the "timestamp method". This post is not intended to rekindle that debate (and that false dichotomy, as I now see it), but merely to report my method and how it helps me, in case others find it useful. I… -
Folgezettel and how to implement it in Obsidian?
Hi, I was reading "A System for Writing" by Bob Doto and in the book, he specifically introduce the Folgezettel system. I totally understand it was probably another name for sequence notes in Zettel, my question is, if I were to do this, and how do I know if the number I give to a note is occupied? He wrote in the book… -
Dealing with Folgezettel structure and topic hierarchy
I read a lot about the 'Folgezettel' approach, and like it very much, especially because it emphasizes a structure that represents the chain and order of thought and reflection over a purely formal, taxonomic structure, as described for instance in Folgezettel is not an Outline. Nevertheless, a formal, taxonomic dimension… -

I made a mini-patch to a bundled plugin from Christian Tietze: * 'new note' dialog presets filename using current note's filename (first part before space), assuming it's folgezettel id * a workaround for cancelling plugin execution, see post Can be downloaded from GitHub -
Folgezettel for reference note?
Hi, everyone, here is my reference note on a 4x6 index card. I normally only do journal and reference notes on paper and main notes in Obsidian. My question is do I need to give reference notes an alphanumeric ID? Because I did find it difficult to locate a single source card in the pile of cards from one book, but because… -

Zettelzen: Acme editor and Zettelkasten [On-going effort]
Hi there. One thing I keep finding interesting with technologies is that humans tend to loose there individual selves and always want to recreate what others do, exactly, without tailoring tools for themselves. This thought could be a bit conceited, therefore I have to add that I'm a bit like that too. I think finding… -
Numerology in the UID...?
I'm just getting started, so forgive me if this is naturally part of the method or just ... impractical in the long run, but so far it's been my experience that people think a lot about their UID's, copying them out if they're analog, and just... it's a lot. So taking a note from Scheper's file, I started out with the…
