Howdy, everyone! Where are my fellow #typewriter users at? Hoping to connect with a new group of people.
Iโm @QuillDriven, and Iโve had a but of a typewriter problem for about ten years now. My current daily drivers are a 1938 Royal Speed King, a late โ20s Royal Quiet Ten, and an #Astrohaus#Freewrite. Currently working on a nonfiction book and some short articles.
For the last few years franchise movies like star wars, marvel, etc. made money regardless of quality. However now it seems like audiences are being choosier when it comes to these kinds of tentpole releases. Iโve seen some people online say that the movie/theater industry is losing people in general but I donโt think...
Iโm a Reddit refugee who was on that platform for 10+ years. I saw not just a tremendous amount of controversies, but attempts at introducing alternatives to Reddit during all of them. The 2015 blackout saw a ton of alternatives suggested, and if you go back and look at them many have either not survived or never achieved...
These are roughly the books Iโve acquired this year, some of them studied the shit out of, some left untouched.
Thereโs been a distinct shift back towards philosophy and politics, after 10 years of mostly technical and scientific stuff, and Iโm ok with it. I feel I now have the tools to really build on it (zettelkasten, blog, adderall, peace of mind, autism).
@mnl Save the peace of mind, blog, and adderall, Iโm in the same boat! My studies are aimed more in the direction of sociology/gender studies (incredibly useful, I know) than psychology but I have some books on my list. What zettelkรคsten resources have you used for your practice?
@mnl
Iโve never actually come across that site before--Iโm gonna have to give it a good once-over. Thanks!
I took a gander at How to Take Smart Notes, Luhmannโs paper, and zettelkasten.de in order to figure it out. Itโs been going relatively well, Iโd say. Mine really took off around the first of the year.
@asteroidrainfall I inherited a 1940s Silex syphon coffee maker and was making do with the original fabric filter until it just couldnโt hold on anymore (general guidance is to fully replace the filter once per month when used daily). I was able to order three ten-packs of replacement filters from eBay and thatโs doing the trick!
I freakin love this coffee maker. It makes the smoothest cups of coffee that I have ever had, hands-down. Completely worth the extra work in my opinion.
A question for anyone using a #zettelkasten or similar #notetaking system - How do you know when to link one Zettel/note to another? And how do you find where the material you want to reference is? Does it not really break the flow of creating notes?
`Does it not really break the flow of creating notes?โ
I donโt try to add links while writing; I wait until Iโm integrating the note to add them. Itโs functionally similar to the practice of separating writing from editing. If you want a more focused zettelkรคsten community, zettelkasten.de has a forum!
That's a big struggle for me. When I was learning about Zettelkasten, the idea of immediatly writing in your own words the summary of a chapter feels daunting. What if I use the wrong words and wouldn't understand later? What I want is to have notes from the book and then use them to write summary maybe in a week after reading a...
@PsychrolutesMarcidus Itโs definitely something that you have to practice, so donโt feel overwhelmed!
I personally donโt write a summary immediately, instead taking little notes of specific thoughts in the text I want to remember. Those little notes are in my own words. Then, I scan the notes to see how many talk about the same idea, and use my short notes as a framework to build a zettel.
Itโs important that you understand the idea. If you lack understanding, itโs hard to write a zettel that encapsulates the idea well enough to sensibly use it years down the line.

Indiana Jones and Flash flopped hard. Could this be the beginning of the end for franchise films?

How do you retell the idea in your own words?
