Notes

In order to properly implement the Zettelkasten method, you don’t need much. It’s about an improvement to workflow rather than about using The One Right Tool™.

Zettelkasten is about maximizing the focus of your work: thinking.

Tools needed

1. Something to write with and something to write on (I need to get a notebook myself)
   • It doesn’t have to be a physical notebook, it just has to be somewhere where you can jot down ideas quickly and temporarily. These notes are meant to be processed at least once daily.
2. A reference management system
   • Purpose of the reference system is to collect references of things you’re reading.
3. A slip-box
4. An editor

In my case, my tools are:

1. TBD
2. org-ref
3. org-roam / deft
4. Emacs (obviously)
