  1. I just spent probably 2 hours cleaning up my notes on one small subject. Letting shit go like this makes writing so-o-o-o hard because everything is just scattered all to hell & gone everywhere in and out of my slip-box.

    But. Not only are my notes writing-ready now (on this topic only, alas, but hey), now I know a bit better how to do this one small part so I don't make so much chaos for the future.

  2. Как я изобрёл ежедневник

    Три года назад я наткнулся на Zettelkasten — метод ведения заметок, где каждая мысль живёт в отдельной заметке и ссылается на другие связанные записи. Примерно как Википедия: читаешь одну статью, внутри куча ссылок, по ним переходишь дальше. В итоге получается целая сеть знаний — граф связей. Наверное, самый известный инструмент для ведения этого в цифре — Obsidian . Идея меня тогда очень зацепила. Особенно обещание, что со временем Obsidian станет твоим «вторым мозгом». Звучит соблазнительно. Когда постоянно что-то делаешь, читаешь, учишься, работаешь, в какой-то момент начинает казаться, что в голову просто ничего больше не помещается. И идея вынести часть памяти во внешний инструмент выглядит очень привлекательно. Я попробовал. И, если честно, у меня получилась фигня. Я не считаю, что Зеттелькастен — плохой метод. Он просто подходит далеко не для всего. Например, когда я проходил курс по работе, такой формат действительно отлично сработал. Материалы в курсах специально разбиты на смысловые блоки, темы продолжают друг друга, термины связаны между собой. Можно открыть одну заметку, перейти в соседнюю и быстро восстановить контекст. Как способ вести конспект — отлично! Но обещанного эффекта «второго мозга» я не почувствовал. Я не стал лучше запоминать или глубже разбираться в теме. При этом Obsidian я продолжал использовать ещё несколько лет. И со временем заметил, что от всей сложной системы связей у меня осталась одна привычка: Один день — одна заметка

  3. Part 3 of my 'How I use Obsidian with Claude' series is live.

    This one covers: trying the new Fable model for my quarterly vault review, letting Buffer draft my social posts automatically, and how an 'intent' property finally stopped my notes backlog growing.

  4. If Cognitive Mirror Syndrome has you worried (and it should, a bit), this new post connects to two things I've written before:

    My AI Knowledge Framework series, which sets out how I use AI deliberately rather than reactively.

    And my post on whether a PKM practice like a Zettelkasten can protect your cognitive abilities.

    As I mentioned in the quoted post, I found fascinating Kevin Baker's characterization of Roam Research, Notion, Obsidian, and similar note-taking apps—based on concepts like "second brain", "zettelkasten", "networked note-taking", "PARA method", "Johnny Decimal", etc.—as "sandboxes for infinite varieties of avoidant labor". Your take complements Kevin Baker's.

  6. If you're using Obsidian and wondering whether to connect AI to your vault, this post covers the practical setup, the real benefits, and the cognitive risks to watch out for.

    Worth reading alongside my earlier post on context engineering vs prompt engineering.

  7. Tolaria: Schon wieder ein Kandidat für meine digitale Rumpelkammer?

    Tolaria emfiehlt sich als Second Brain mit lokal gespeicherten Markdown-Dateien (mit YAML-Frontmatter und bidirektionalen Links ([[wikiLink]])), einer Synchronisation und Versionierung via Git (-Hub) und mit einer (unaufdringlichen) einer KI-Unterstützung. Natürlich ist die Anwendung plattformübergreifend (macOS, Linux, Windows) und Open Source (AGPL-3.0-Lizenz). #Tolaria #Zettelkasten #SecondBrain #DigitaleSouveränität

  8. Why start automating your PKM with boring admin tasks rather than something more exciting?

    Because trust has to be earned. My AI PKM framework starts at Stage 0 — safe, reversible, administrative tasks where AI can help without touching what matters.

    Updating an index is perfect for this. New post exploring both the skill and the framework it belongs to: ctnet.co.uk/claude-code-skills

  9. When Claude analysed my Obsidian vault, it mapped disconnected note clusters — groups that don't connect to the rest.

    My clusters: AI and tech (unsurprising), gaming, personal finance, health and pressure.

    What surprised me: it didn't flag philosophy, which I'd have expected.

    Has anyone else run an AI analysis of their PKM? What did it find about your knowledge clusters?

  10. Acquired Lochby Field Folio A6 (Lochby)

    Keep your A6 notebooks, pens, and essentials organized on the go with the Field Folio A6. Durable, vegan waxed canvas, slim design, and flexible pockets—perfect for travel, journaling, or everyday carry.

    I recently asked the kind folks at Lochby “if the Folio A6 will comfortably fit 25-50 standard 4 x 6″ index cards which are slightly larger than an A6 notebook? If not, is it something you might consider for some of us ‘Hipster PDA’ tribe members in the future?”  

    Erring on the side of caution their customer service replied, “Unfortunately, since the Field Folio A6 zips up, there’s no way to fit this many index cards in it without the potential for damaging them when zipping it up. But I’ll take note of your suggestion and pass it on to our product development team so we can consider it as well as gauge interest.”

    Because I often use A6 sized notebooks, I couldn’t resist adding to my Lochby collection, so I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

    It arrived in the post yesterday. Today I’m happy to report that it actually will accommodate 4 x 6″ index cards reasonably well.  I can comfortably fit about 30 cards into the right side pocket and still have room to tuck a Hobonichi A6 notebook into the folio and still zip it shut handily. 

    Because I usually have a few pre-glued decks of index card “notebooks” sitting around, I tried one of these and can happily report that the back cover/board fits into the right pocket easily (just as you’d tuck the back cover of a notebook into it) and works well with the Lochby A6 folio! (The center elastic bands are slightly smaller and fairly tight, and could work with these glued decks too, but will tend to cut the glue at the ends, so one should take care here or carefully only glue the center 5 inches of the deck for this use case.) I suspect that if one had a plastic wallet-photo type holder, it might work well in this, particularly if you’re carrying around some of your daily use cards in addition to blank cards for future use. 

  11. If you’re an analog zettelkasten fan, I just bought a few bricks of 500 index cards for $6.08 each at my local Amazon Fresh. Most brands list for $12-$16 for this many; even Amazon.com is currently listing them for $10.50. Sadly it doesn’t match my all-time-best of $2.06. What’s your best? 🗃️📝

  12. Surfing around with respect to library card catalogs, I ran across John Blyberg‘s Library Card Generator this afternoon. Anyone who’s playing at the intersection of analog and digital zettelkasten is sure to love the possibilities here.

    Incidentally, if you’re still into the old-school library card catalog cards, Demco still sells the red ruled cards!

  14. Hab mich für das #clc23 in Hamburg angemeldet:
    colearn.de/clc23fruehjahr/

    Mal sehen, was für Sessions ich mitbringe ... vielleicht was zur Entdeckung und Auswahl passender #Lernformate? Vielleicht was zu #SustainableLearning, mit dem ich mich in den nächsten Wochen verstärkt beschäftigen werde? Vielleicht eine kritische Diskussion des Begriffs #Lernökosysteme? Und mit Sicherheit die Ergebnisse meiner #MeinZiel23 Auseinandersetzung mit #Notizsystemen und/oder #Zettelkasten?

  15. A #zettelkasten or commonplace provides a catalytic surface to which ideas in the “solution of life” can more easily adhere to speed their reaction with ideas you’ve already seen and collected. Once combined via linking, further thinking and writing, they can be released as novel ideas for everyone to use.
