I'm surely going to finish that Zettelkasten script I started in 2012; I just have to reconsider... LOL. This HN post really resonated with me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17893139 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17893139 tl;dr for the post -- if you start with a method, you'll very probably end overengineering your system. Organizing your stuff per "use-case" might be more fruitful. Chances are you're not the Niklas Luhmann you think. (Then again, it's also fun to think that Niklas Luhmann was just another regular guy, so the simple "hammers and nails" he crafted might as well be used by a regular person like me. :) Also, I love forgetting. Maybe our brain isn't that bad a tool, so most of the really important stuff actually "floats on the top" by itself?
