Exploring

In this video, I explore Scott Scheper's AntiNet Zettelkasten and share my thoughts on his unique approach to making bibliography notes, marginalia, and highlighting. I agree with one key aspect and disagree with another as I explore the pros and cons of this method for organizing your knowledge and research. Don't miss this insightful discussion on the Anti Zettelkasten system and how it can impact your note-taking strategy!

Good explanation. I highlight for the same reason. I don’t want to have to read a bunch of material when I’m going back to create a card for the main Antinet/Zettelkasten box. Steve doesn’t give the “laws of Antinet,” he just explains why he does things a certain way. Then we can choose. We are all different and our brains will work different ways. So there’s no right and wrong. As the kids say these days, “You do you.” 😊

Terrific explanation. Through the years I wrote notes in hundreds of books and papers, and worse, wrote on post-it’s and stuck them on certain pages in my books- all with insights about each work, but all disconnected from each other and physically dispersed in my library. I tried to remedy that with digital Zettelkasten but I retain more information by physically writing out my notes, going “old school” analog. So, where do the Bib cards line up with the major index (major disciplines) and individual note cards (each one idea or insight per note card) crossed-referenced with the major disciplines and sub disciplines? Thanks again!

There are three separate sections in the Anti-Zettelkasten, Main Box or Main Cards, Index, and Bib box. We use bib cards to extract salient information from the material we read. It acts like a table of contents for ideas we might want to turn into a main card and need to relocate later. Index cards are used to capture the numeric alpha location of the main card. There are two types of index cards: Alphabetical and Keyword. Once you determine which section your main card will be placed and you have given it a number you record that in your index so that you can find that card later, especially as your Zettalkasten grows. When you create a main card, think beforehand about where it should be placed, i.e which disicipline/subdiscipline and behind which card that is most like it unless it is the first card in the category. Hope this helps. Let me know if I explained your question. Thanks!
