    This is a superb introduction to Zettelkasten. Now it finally makes sense. But I have a question: If your project is Mind and you number it 1, do you number your second project 2 and so on? For example, suppose my first project is about, say, the Gilded Age in American history. So I number that 1. Then if my second project is about Italian Renaissance humanism: Do I number that 2? Thanks in advance for any advice you have in regard to this.

      You can number things however you want so technically yes. Regardless of how you do it, you have your index to find your cards. The numbering system you choose doesnt matter and will probably change over time so start simple for now

    Thanks for making this, I first came here after skipping to the step-by-step part of the book and just getting pissed at it. I'm sure it has good stuff but I think it could be a bit better for someone just trying to dive in. I think your video really shows the potential of where this system can go, and how it's supposed to "live" in a sense, so I feel better able and more interested in starting it out (and probably getting rid of those categories Scott has us set up). Something that sticks out to me is how it reminds me of Leitner boxes (which I actually thought Scott's book was about before I skimmed through it; it's actually more like a really systematic analog flash-card quiz box built on visual, auditory, I guess linguistic connections in the context of language learning). I read Fluent Forever a couple years ago and it was mind blowing, not just in terms of how analog systems are useful, but also how the "flaws" of human memory are what make it so fascinating to work with, and how that aspect of "recall" makes new connections that strengthen memories. I was learning Chinese at the time, and although I stopped after only several months, some of it was definitely internalized and I actually use that principle of "recall" to learn pretty much everything now. I will always appreciate that forgetting something but TRYING to recall it and then recalling it correctly, or actually just recalling at all as I am now, will solidify the memory in a new way and I'm curious about how it will unfold with this system.
