Obsidian Channel update It's been a while since I've posted a new video, so I figured it was time to provide y'all with a quick channel update, which you can find on YouTube here. Below is the image I took waaaaayyyyy too long to create for this
Zettelkasten 9. From source card to idea card Watch as I turn notes on a source card into an idea card. So. Much. Fun. (Not really.)
Zettelkasten 8. Folgezettel - why creating them in your Zettelkasten is important Learn about why I think it is valuable to create Folgezettel (sequences of notes).
Zettelkasten 7. Don't collect quotations—instead, handwrite reminders on source cards 📽 When I first went down the rabbit hole of looking into various ways of taking notes digitally, I found myself tempted to add to whatever note-making app I was using at the time a whole bunch of quotations that I never got around to stating in my own words.
Zettelkasten 6. Digesting information by putting it in your own words 📽 When it comes to working with ideas and developing compelling lines of thinking, I think we are better off to have as our aim not so much the creation of so-called original ideas but instead trying to make the ideas of others in some sense our own.
Zettelkasten Why I stopped using folder cards in my analog Zettelkasten 📝 For the first few months of building a Zettelkasten, I used what I called "folder cards." For a while, I recommended that others use them as well. Not any more.
Zettelkasten 5. Where to put non-continuation cards 📽 In this video, I’m going to show you what to do when you create a new card that doesn't amount to a continuation of an already-existing card.
Zettelkasten 4. Stop creating new folder cards 📽 Are you making the mistake of thinking that you have to find the supposedly one-and-only best place for each card you create?
Zettelkasten 3. Addresses for continuation cards 📽 In this video, I’m going to show you how to decide where to put a new card and what address to put on it when that card amounts to a continuation of a card that already exists in your old-school Zettelkasten.
Zettelkasten 2. What kind of addresses should you put on your Zettelkasten cards? 📽 If you’re creating an old-school Zettelkasten, you need to give some thought to the unique identifiers, or unique IDs, that you put on your Zettelkasten cards.
Zettelkasten 1. The very first step in creating an analog, old-school Zettelkasten 📽 Just now starting to build a Zettelkasten? Watch this, but ignore the stuff about folder cards.
