These are roughly the books I’ve acquired this year, some of them studied the shit out of, some left untouched.
There’s been a distinct shift back towards philosophy and politics, after 10 years of mostly technical and scientific stuff, and I’m 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, I’m 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 zettelkästen resources have you used for your practice?
@mnl
I’ve never actually come across that site before--I’m gonna have to give it a good once-over. Thanks!
I took a gander at How to Take Smart Notes, Luhmann’s paper, and zettelkasten.de in order to figure it out. It’s been going relatively well, I’d say. Mine really took off around the first of the year.
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?’
I don’t try to add links while writing; I wait until I’m integrating the note to add them. It’s functionally similar to the practice of separating writing from editing. If you want a more focused zettelkästen community, zettelkasten.de has a forum!
