From digital to paper-based
Warning: long post ahead. Since a number of months, and certainly for about a year ahead I am transferring my Zettelkasten from digital to paper. It will also start using Luhmann-like IDs. The below text is partly from my own task management and thinking of how to do this. I wanted to share it in case anyone has comparable… -
Some questions I have are keeping me from committing to my Zettelkasten
Hi, this is my first post, and I want to thank everyone who can help me reduce my resistance and avoid failure. Starting a Zettelkasten digitally and future-proof is not something easy to do. In my case, I want to create some guides and rules to guarantee some success (or headaches in the future). And there is some of the… -
Visualizing hierarchies with treemap tools
https://sachachua.com/blog/2025/01/treemap-visualization-of-an-org-mode-file/ My imagination doesn't suffice to come up with a good use of a treemap visualization tool for my Zettelkasten, but maybe you can use this

[Plugin] New Lower-Level Note: automation of the folgezettel filenaming approach
This is one of two plugins for The Archive that automate the folgezettel naming convention. The New Note Sequence plugin creates a new note sequence automatically. The plugin looks for the Folgezettel ID in the filename, extracts it, and creates a new note with the filename based on the current note, selected in The… -

The plugin looks for the Folgezettel ID in the filename, extracts it, and creates a new note with the filename based on the current note, selected in The… -
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… -
[Plugin] mini-patch for 'Extract note' bundled plugin, folgezettel style
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 -
Managing huge constant inflow of diverse information and possibilities to use it?

I was researching this forum but couldnt find the solution. I will try to provide my description of problem and possible solutions, but… -
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… -
Re: What software are you using?
