#zettelkasten

1 post1 participant0 posts today

morning #reading session ahead.

I'm reading a System for Writing from @bobdoto right now. This book is about note-making and creating connections with the notes in a #Zettelkasten and later in the book it is about writing with a Zettelkasten.

I am in the middle of the book. It is a good book in my opinion. It is practical and it focuses on the essential without any fluff.

@thomas_mathoi Das wäre eine Wette auf die Zukunft. 😉

Solange das, was d'rinnen ist, mir nicht im Weg steht und mich irgendwie behindert, ist es egal, wie viel Unnötiges drinnen ist.

Die Unterscheidung, ob etwas in meinem #PKM nötig oder unnötig ist, passiert beim ersten Zugriff (retrieval) und nicht früher.

Insofern weiß man meistens nicht beim Ablegen, ob etwas in Zukunft von Nutzen sein wird oder nicht. 🤷

Wenn man dieser Logik folgen würde, würde sich jedes #Wissensmanagement erübrigen.

(Obsidian würde ich für alles, was länger als ein paar Monate gelten soll, ohnehin nie nutzen.)

Day 4, Starting out in a new domain with zettelkasten:
Read the first couple of chapters of Ian Leslie - "Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It. The book is ok, a little bit too hoi polloi, but since I didn't really get Berlyne I might be the polloi here...

It was much to warm for serious reading.

Also, spend some time re-reading How to read a book Pre-reading list by Adler, I love that book!

Day 3, Starting out in a new domain with #zettelkasten:
Almost done: [[Comparing eco and ahrens]] for the theory on starting out in a new domain. #research

For the curiosity #psychology project: **Start with Broad Mapping**

Begin by creating overview notes that capture the landscape of your new domain. Not traditional Zettelkasten atomic notes, or even Mocs, but rather temporary scaffolding notes that help understand the territory: (1/3)

Just stumbled upon this amazing tool called zk! It's a command-line assistant for maintaining a plain text Zettelkasten or personal wiki. Perfect for programmers and note-takers alike! 🌟

Check out the GitHub repo: github.com/zk-org/zk and this insightful video:youtu.be/UzhZb7e4l4Y Note-taking System ALL Programmers Should Consider.

Starting out in a domain, using the #zettelkasten method sounds like a match made in heaven. A proven system, and a blank slate. Surprisingly I couldn’t find much online. It somehow always is either “what is a ZK”, or how to apply it to a known domain. Nobody just starts from scratch. (?!?) 🧵… (1/2)

@menelion n asterisks are n-th level headings (1 to 6).

Lists are specified using a hyphen


This would render perfectly well in Org:

* Eins
- list item inside eins
- something else
** Zwei
- list item 1 inside Zwei
- item 2
- item 3

Honestly,
#Orgmode is also easier than #Markdown. Just like Markdown, #LaTeX support is built into the language.

I've written scientific papers and whatnot using
#Org mode. My static website is published using #Hugo, which supports Org OOTB (if not for this, I'd be using #Zola or #Astro)... With #orgroam I can organize my notes using the #zettelkasten method and view notes on a graph à la #Obsidian. Note that #OrgRoam is the objectively superior #Obsidian alternative, just as #Orgmode itself blows Markdown out of the water.

How could I forget literate configs? Computational notebooks are a GODSEND. Imagine a file that acts very much like a
#Jupyter #Notebook (graph support etc is taken care of thanks to #Emacs). Imagine an entire Jupyter Notebook sent in a simple text-ready file.

It's totally possible to open an Org notebook in a plain text editor, make changes and send it to peers. If they have Emacs open they can also execute the notebook just like they would with a Jupyter Notebook. Results are displayed (by default) in-place too.

I invite
@publicvoit to share his opinions 😉
