Lesswrong review of Zettelkasten—I stumbled upon this post a few weeks ago, and it solidified several of my vague thoughts on how I might make my notes more useful. In particular, it helped me think of ways I could unify the structures and content-linkage between my roam-notes, orgmode notes, filesystem, and paper journal. I especially appreciated the background context and long-term followup. This post proved an invaluable branching point. I would love it if abram integrated the followup insights back in to the overall post.
That said, I didn’t actually read through this post all the way at the time I came across it. It’s very long. I skimmed to get the general idea. (It helps too that I’m already familiar with roam-research, which took deep inspiration from zettelkasten). The outlined structure allowed me to find some relevant sections. The post could stand to have tighter writing.
Specific subclaims: If I had my druthers, I’d have a group of people try the index cards (vs. a control group trying linear notes or Roam) to see if it does indeed build strong generalizable habits.
