The Zettelkasten method is a way to manage notes and ideas using a network of interconnected notes. Each note is a self-contained piece of information that can be linked to other notes.
For example, this note is linked to the My Second Brain note.
Common Questions
- How many Zettelkastens should I have? The answer is, most likely, only one for the duration of your life.
- Don’t use categories. Use tags instead.
- “What should my first note be?” It doesn’t matter. Just start writing.
- Set links between notes. Full-text search on it’s own provides not enough information.
