I don't see any link to your website mentioned in the video.

This is the best suggestion ever!

oh FFS

OMGoodness. Thank you for this simpler, straightforward explanation. You did a fantastic job explaining this topic to someone who only discovered it yesterday.

The best explanation so far! 🎉

I realize this is a late comment, but are you still using an analog Zettelkasten in addition to Heptabase? I'm interested in an analog system, but it seems like most people end up switching to a digital system at some point.

😂 15 seconds

The best solution is Zotero 7 beta....

The greatest of the modern philosophers, Immanual Kant, wrote in the Critique of Pure Reason that we refine categories from the ideas we have, not the other way around. We don't start with categories as this video recommends. If you do that, then you are not collecting ideas but organizing data. Your links and connections should inform you of the categories, not the other way around. Otherwise, you are just replicating what librarians do.

I don't have anything to add, except that I laughed hard when I was called out as one of those people who just likes to keep track of ideas. I only found out about ZK about 2 weeks ago, and the idea of it got me pretty excited. Both my wife and I are learning about it so that we can use it for ourselves. Because we enjoyoy learning and making connections between ideas. Learning is a goal in and of itself. And if we don't write down the things we learn, they eventually get lost.

What was described in this video, was it really Zettelkasten? I heard nothing about indexes and card identifiers. Or was it the video maker taking a famous word, Zettelkasten, and explaining his own thing instead? To me is sounded like he divides card boxes internally in smaller compartments by topic and then put cards in according to topic. That is not Zettelkasten, is it?

Do the idea cards go in your main box? (or somewhere else)?

That was an excellent video. It got me back on track. Take away message: "The objective of the Zettelkasten method is to develop ideas, not to have an organizational system for collecting information."

I am just getting started in creating a Zettelkasten. My topics would include the following: Level 1) HISTORY, Level 2) American History, Ancient History, European History, Russian History; Level 1) LANGUAGE & LITERATURE Level 2) Poetry, Non-fiction, Fiction (Outline), American Literature, English Literature, Russian Literature; Level 1) PHILOSOPHY, Level 2) Philosophy of History; Level 1) GEOGRAPHY, Level 2) Human Geography, Level 3) urban geography; Level 1) PSYCHOLOGY, Level 2) Personality Types; Level 1) MYTHOLOGY (what major topic would this fit in - or is it one of its own?); Level 1) GAMES (what major topic would this fit in - or is it one of its own?); Level 1) PARANORMAL/OCCULT (what major topic would this fit in - or is it one of its own?). Is this too many to start with? Your advice? (I have labeled the topics and subtopics as levels 1, 2 & 3).

It occurred to me that we can use three digit numbers and key them to the Dewey Decimal system (for those of us familiar with using he library). That way the number would give a clue as to the content. (you could also do this with a four digit number, by just adding an additional digit to the DDS number). Your thoughts? 000 - Computer science, information and general works 100 - Philosophy and psychology 200 - Religion 300 - Social sciences 400 - Language 500 - Pure science 600 - Technology 700 - Arts and recreation 800 - Literature 900 - History and geography

Great video, thank you.

I call it “Fold the zettel”

love this. thanks for the help in getting started.

The writting of Scheper is unggle like hell. But the concepts on the mentioned video are quite interesting.

Hello Bro, i took heptabase subscription after watching your video. Forgot to use your affiliate link . But i later emailed "Heptabase team" saying i benefitted from your video and to consider your affiliate link for my subscription . Heptabase team responded to me and confirmed that , i will be linked to your affliate link and said me "Thank you". I think you might receive a email confirmation in few hours. Thanks for your great video 🙏, which helped me to subscribe to heptabase

Bro, new to your channel and subscribed. I loved Heptabase . One question, Does it allow highlights to drag and drop for PDFs which have handwritten content ? Or does it only work highlights for digital text content PDFS only ?

Have you moved all your notes from Obsidian to Heptabase ? Do you use the Zettelkasten method in Heptabase ?

I feel that establishing a record in this way is very slow. Does it interrupt the flow of thoughts or stream of consciousness?

First of all, congratulations on overcoming your illness. How do you compare Logseq and Heptabase?

This was super helpful! I'm getting ready to start my first zettelkasten and this gave me a much better idea of how to structure it so it makes sense to me.

Did Luhmann write down his thoughts directly on note cards? Or did he write those down in a notebook, edit them and then transfer them to the note cards?

What if I am not working on academic subjects?

it's a niche example but yes it seems that logseq should allow editing of the text while maintaining the ref link. heptabase looks more elegant but it costs also a lot more

if you don't include biology, psychology and evolution in 1:27 then you are just getting misguided by those topics, is like trying to study architecture without soil mechanics or physics. you also should add some cybernetics to it.

Example. You have a 10000 notes Zettelkasten. And you decide to let me use it. I have ONE idea and ONE note to put it in to your Zettelkasten. I have no idea what your Zettelkasten is about and which notes it contains. I do not know any relations existing between notes. I have no idea about the context surrounding each of your notes. Just BLANK MIND. How do i put my note in your Zettelkasten so it will be mindfully connected to as much of your existing notes as it can be? Please describe a step by step process of my interaction with your's Zettelkasten.

Your dry humor made me instantly subscribe. Never change!

How did you add that green dot at 1:37? I tried doing ,gr but that didn't do anything.

i hear a man calling me a loser, i immediately hit subscribe.

Prof P, thank you so much for these videos. You've given me clarity by examples. I'm less daunted by ZK now because of your systematic illustration. Also your dry humor and deadpan style of presentation is a huge plus :-)

Hit it!

I couldn’t agree more about the plug-ins-and that’s when they work! Then there are all those hours spent trying to figure out why one of them is not working as intended. No, thank you.

You are too funny. Thank you for making this.

Fantastic explanation of these concepts! What are you using to create the mind map that shows your sub-topics?

This decision is not bad. But Marginnote is much more powerful, more convenient and functional. And there is also no subscription and affiliate links))

You had me at vast horde of people.

I've seen Rayen holiday, and Robert Greene dedicate a Zettelkasten for each book.... do you guys set a full Zettelkasten per project? sure there's no right or wrong way to do it but I'm interested to know your feedback (for those who does it), how do you navigate managing two or three Zettelkasten at once, specially when there's overlapping or contradiction

Minute 3:13, Tony Benn quote. Did you read "can find money for killing Germans" or is it an acustic issue on my side?

Minute 3:13, Tony Benn quote. Did you say "can find money for killing GERMANS" or is it an acustic issue on my side?

I agree with this. I myself am getting tired of Obsidian and its lack of core features, and heavy reliance on community plugins. Once I finish my degree I’ll be leaving Obsidian because it just doesn’t meet my needs anymore. It’s too “janky/clunky” for me

I take forever to take notes because of an intense fear that if my notes don't capture everything the literature says, something very bad is going to happen. Your content has partially helped, but I would like to know how to get past that fear, when I already know that is what's stopping me from creatively writing what I read in my own words.... Any advice? I couldn't find anyone else who might be able to answer this, as I could really relate to how I fall prey to collector's fallacy and then I tried doing the reminders on paper instead of highlighting (which still takes long to finish and then I forget the content and I need to read it all over for details I may miss) and then I tried implementing RTL but I'm really not getting anywhere because it's all taking away my time in exchange for no tangible work done.

Thank you! I'm pretty new in the zettelkasten world after having read Ahrens and Shepherd's books, with only two hundred or so cards so far. I started with only two subjects as main level and a 10 or so branches that emerged quite naturally (literature, which is my area of expertise after my phd and experience as a uni lecturer, and psychology, which is the area i want now to specialize in order to change my professional path), your dive in structure is pretty interesting, thank you for this serie!

You can change the text when you import it from a pdf into a page, you just go into the file made in logseq and all the highlights are there to change.

Nice. You can do the same thing in Notion for free.

love the digestion analogy. gross lol but it works really well

Is there any way to extract PDF metadata?
