Zettelkasten can be done on paper too. Its point is making connections between notes and being able to do discover new connections giving you new insights.
Simple note taking just records what you know and think. ZH
can lead to new understandings of the same set of notes.
- fsloth 6y agoYou can use a date as a "link" in a notebook. A normal person does not create that many different entries per day. You can add a keyword to the notebook margin as well if you feel particularly systematic (then a link/reference would be 18jul23 for example).
- DelightOne 6y agoThis sounds time-consuming, is it? I dont see myself following permanent links by timestamp. It is so time-consuming and error-prone, I would drop the whole thing immediately. I know myself this far anyway^^
- Scarblac 6y agoThe idea is that it is a _good thing_ that it is time consuming, as thinking about the connections between the notes _is_ the actual productive work that you have the system for.
