Doing some reading on #zettlekasten. If you have tried or like storing knowledge like this, I’d love to know your thoughts or tips for getting started!

I've seen #Obsidian while I was going through #Notion videos and other journal/note taking content. It's local so I didn't pay much attention. Accessing it on many devices is a deciding factor for me.

But my husband found an easy way to sync Obsidian between his phone and computer, so I set it up. And I'm losing my darn mind over how lovely it is. Simple until you don't want it to be. So easily #zettlekasten -able. No internet needed. And I love #markdown.

Imma set it up for work next.

@xynthfauna i don't trust my own notes to be able to share them with the world yet, haha. glad you're sharing, though! do you use #zettlekasten or some other note taking methodology?

I'm in love with organization and making things work well.

I love the ideas behind things like #Zettlekasten, #OrgMode, and more.

Did you know that [the original wiki][1] represents roughly 120MB of data if you convert it to a flat text file? That represents 30 years of knowledge building, so pretty darn good.

If you use WikiText (or CamelCase) then you don't need any fancy tools. #vim, #emacs, or heck #nano and #ed the #StandardEditor are perfectly sufficient.

I've used a #zettlekasten style system at work for a long time as a way of recalling information but haven't really taken it outside of the work environment. It turns out, the graph view in #obsidian is a great way to gamify my learning. It's so satisfying to learn some stuff, generate some orphans, then go completionist mode and start filling in the orphans

Are you into #Zettlekasten, #JohnnyDecimal, #GettingThingsDone or other label/tag based organization? Your messages could easily sport `X-Priority` or `X-Label`.

Add your attachments directly to the email messages.

Collaborating on some software? It may (not) surprise you, but the Linux kernel actually *still* collaborates this way. And it's kind of awesome.

I'm pretty sure it's not, but there's no reason that #GitHub review comments couldn't be an email with some fancy headers.

And templates/method used in Obsidian, this video seems super simple and easy to grok so going to leap into that to get my notes all linking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6ySG7xYgjY #zettlekasten #productivity

I wrote my first essay using a bottom-up process where the key messages are existing atomic notes in the Zettelkasten. Writing this way was far less painful (I might even say enjoyable) than a top-down approach where you start with an idea and then do a ton of leg work to develop it into a cohesive piece. Once I work out the kinks, I'll try and summarise the process itself.

@VGM several people on GTDConnect are doing it successfully. I’m migrating all my GTD customized process doc to an
#ObsidianMD hosted #Zettlekasten along with all the webinar ideas & tips. I’m still a paper and pen guy for projects and higher horizons in #Circa notebooks.

@tedcurran @AriT93 @davew this is great stuff. I just started writing a note-taking tool for all my plain-text notes and hadn’t run across #zettlekasten until now. I might borrow some of these ideas. https://unfit-for.work/posts/2023/nve-editor/

@allafarce

I use #obsidian

Why did I choose Obsidian? I downloaded it, watched Bryan Jenks ‘Comprehensive Obsidian Workflow’ YouTube video and started building.

I had used a wiki before and so the concept of linking notes just clicked.

I sync with icloud and use a combo of #PARA and #Zettlekasten. The mobile app is great.

I don’t store file archives in it. I do this in #DevonThink and deep link both ways. I also index the vault in DevonThink.

Works very well as a #pkm for me!

According to this CNN article, some think that #chatgpt will put writers out of a job. I guess we can save a lot of time abandon all research and note taking! 😝

@krstf check out @kinginmotion posts on the other toot service. He has some really good stuff on #zettlekasten I have encouraged him to post his materials here as well.

@pkm @coffee_please -

Same here.

I would say the most two important #PKM apps I currently own are #Obsidan and #Devonthink - that is why #Hookmark is so useful.

#Obsidian is where I do all my writing and I index the vault in #DevonThink. #DevonThink is my read-it-later and archival tool.

I do a combination of #Zettlekasten and #PARA to integrate my thinking with my work. Here's my current organisation.

@kinginmotion great to find you on Mastodon! I think your #Zettlekasten workflows on #obsidian would be a great contribution to @pkm and the #pkm community in general.

Still setting my #obsidiannotes up. The #Zettlekasten method is interesting. I'm going to try it out so I can see the connections that form between my notes and not impose any superstructure #productivity

I am going through over a decades worth of bookmarks and read it later lists and actually reading and highlighting the interesting parts.

It's several thousand links, some of which I had tagged and have some metadata, others are just a link.

There's some really good content and can see which topics I was investigating 12 years ago etc..

But also a lot of links that are broken, and quite a few must have been popular enough that they now host ad sites and occasionally porn.

It'll probably take me a while but it's quite fun doing some digital archeology.

Somewhere in there I'm pretty sure there's an article about "URLs should live forever". Maybe one day I'll find it again.

#zettlekasten

My current thinking is my best bet is a #PersonalWiki with file syncing but not otherwise online. There are several options, but I'm most thinking of Zim Wiki or Zettlr. There are a couple of other popular ones but people are oddly cultish about them. I've read a bit about #zettlekasten which seems to be trendy but has apparently been used for a century by scholars and writers, so it's worth taking seriously. It seems more my style than #MindMapping.
