#zettelkasten — Public Fediverse posts

From my slip-box, written after a conversation with Claude: my thinking shapes the AI's response, and its response alters my thinking. A cognitive feedback loop.

The upside is a perspective other than my own. The catch is that it is roughly the human average, and research suggests work made by human and AI together is less diverse than work made by humans alone.

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.

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

Seit November 2022 nutze ich Mastodon als Microblogging im Sinne eines #Zettelkasten in Anlehnung an den von Niklas Luhmann. Ich finde es toll, hier mit der Suchfunktion mit "from:me" Sachen wiederzufinden, mit denen ich mich beschäftigt habe und dass sich mit der Zeit ein eigenes Schlagwortsystem herauskristallisiert. Auch liebe ich es, verlinken und teilen zu können, was immer ich im Zettelkasten assoziieren will.
Ich verstehe deshalb überhaupt nicht, was Leute an GAMAM/X/TikTok finden. 1/x

Habe vor einigen Tage mit etwas ganz banalem gestartet: Einem Notizbuch!
So richtig analog und händisch.
Da man - also ich - sich mit #PKM und #PIM im digitalen Raum ziemlich schnell verkünstelt, gibt es nur eine Regel: Jeder Eintrag hat ein Datum.
Ab jetzt begleitet mich das Büchlein wie mein Handy.
Bin gespannt, was aus dem analogen Gedanken-#Space wird. Ich werde berichten.

Рефакторинг моего Obsidian: как я перестроил хранилище после предыдущей статьи

Какое-то время назад я выкладывал статью на Хабр про свое obsidian хранилище. Я получил хороший фидбэк и некоторые идеи. Также я понял, что довольно большая часть моего obsidian нуждается в оптимизации и структуризации. В итоге нашел свободный выходной, чтобы немного перестроить хранилище. Я все это сделал и тут расскажу, как теперь выглядит мой obsidian. Кроме простой структуризации и удаления лишнего, я также провел некоторые махинации над кодом dataviewjs своей библиотеки книг и доделал свою домашнюю страницу, добавив интеграцию со своей основной библиотекой и поработав на css составляющей. В общем-то были еще некоторые изменения, но об этом всем будет далее.

Started using the #Zettelkasten method for note taking, or at least some form of it. In obsidian. Flat file structure. Just links between them. Atomic notes. Feels quite freeing not having to move the files to the right folder structure at all. Let's see if I can keep up with writing notes as much as I'd like to and if, as a result, my learning and memory improves.

Anne-Laure Le Cunff offers five tips for avoiding cognitive debt with AI. Keep thinking, let it challenge you, write the first draft yourself, watch for over-reliance, keep reflecting.

All reasonable. I am not convinced they are enough on their own, because none of them stop you offloading the very tasks you need to do in order to learn.

My addition is metacognition, and a Zettelkasten to practise it in: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/cognitive-debt-ai-offloading/

@UnconventionalEmma Let me know how you get on with it ... I use my own lashed together ad hoc "thingy", so I'd be interested to hear of your experiences.

Note that it requires work, both to put things in, and to maintain the order. You can lapse and then recover, but it's not "effort-free".

But mine has proven to be extremely effective.

Good luck ... let me know!

#ZettelKasten #InformationOverload

Meine Konsequenz ist deshalb eine andere Aufteilung: Der Zettelkasten bleibt privat. Die Quellen gehören nach draußen.

Das eine ist nicht übertragbar, das andere sehr wohl: Was jemand gelesen hat, ist überprüfbar und brauchbar — und nimmt niemandem die eigene Denkarbeit ab.

Und es ist das Fragilere. Nach Pew Research waren 40 % der 2013 hochgeladenen Seiten zehn Jahre später weg.

Зачем вести базу знаний, если ты не блогер и не спикер

Привет, %username% ! Знакомая, которая к IT никакого отношения не имеет, спросила: « А для чего мне вести свою базу знаний? » И я завис. Не потому что нечего ответить, а потому что все мои заготовленные ответы оказались профессиональными : писать в блог, готовить доклады, расти в квалификации, держать в порядке рабочий контекст. Ей это всё не нужно. Она не пишет статей, не выступает на конференциях и не собирается. Пришлось отвечать заново. И ответ оказался короче, чем всё, что я до этого рассказывал на эту тему: База знаний нужна тому, кто хочет разобраться в своей голове, а не тому, кто хочет всё запомнить. Дальше — почему «чтобы ничего не забывать» плохая цель, при чём тут письмо и картина мира, три правила, которых хватает на старте, и как не собрать чулан Плюшкина. Работает это одинаково для айтишника и для человека, который слово «репозиторий» слышал только от меня, разница будет в примерах.

Do you ever feel there’s too many ready-made answers that don’t fit your needs? Me too. That’s why I’m exploring an alternative: ’living questions’. Not quite Rilke, but also not not Rilke.

I ran the second quarterly analysis of my Obsidian vault this month, three months on from the first one.

2,064 permanent notes, 595 literature notes, and a processing backlog that shrank for the first time since I started measuring. Claude also flagged the concepts I keep linking to but have never written up.

Full review here: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/quarterly-vault-review-q3/

#PKM #Zettelkasten #Obsidian #KnowledgeManagement #AI

@itskamrankhan In a free/libre and extremely capable software called #orgmode whose limits are only bound by the limits of your imagination. (1)

Through #FOSS and (in contrast to #Markdown (3)) well designed and easily re-used clear text data format #orgdown (2, 5), I do have many possibilities to generate input for it and re-use output in other tools. Orgdown is recognized without any manual conversion in lots of tools (4).

Let me cite Dominik's tenth rule: Any sufficiently complicated #PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode.

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.

Ugh. I have been so overworked (in a part-time job, FFS) that I've just been randomly throwing notes into my #Obsidian inbox or leaving them to languish, lost and forgotten, in my Daily Notes or my physical #notebooks .

And so today I set out to clean up my notes on one topic and one topic only and....

Sigh.

Two hours of unproductive confusion and overwhelm. I give up.

#AmWriting ... not.

#notetaking #BuJo #bulletjournal #zettelkasten

So disorganized, so #Adhd

Do you run periodic reviews of your notes system?

I used Claude's new Fable model for my second quarterly vault review this time, instead of Opus. It felt noticeably quicker, and it picked up on a different way I'd started working with my notes since the last review, comparing the two.

Made me realise how much giving AI proper context on your vault actually matters.

Как я собрал навигацию в Obsidian без единого плагина

В моём хранилище 801 заметка. Когда я открывал Obsidian, меня встречала пустая вкладка - не главная страница, не список последнего, просто пустота, из которой надо было куда-то попасть. Поиск помогал ровно в одном случае: когда я помнил, что искать. Граф связей выглядел внушительно и не отвечал ни на один вопрос. Папки требовали от каждой заметки выбрать себе одно место, хотя заметка про базы данных одновременно относится к литературе, к клиентскому проекту и к статье, которую я про это писал. Ниже - что я с этим сделал: какой чужой метод взял за основу, что в нём пришлось переписать под себя и какие два правила оказались важнее самого метода. Про системы в Obsidian я регулярно пишу в своём телеграм-канале - там короткие разборы и то, что не дотягивает до полноценной статьи.

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.

Eine neue digitale Rumpelkammer mit Zettlr 4.0?

Vor wenigen Stunden schneite die Meldung in meinen Feedreader, daß vom freien (GPL 3), plattformübergreifenden (macOS, Windows, Linux) Markdown-Editor Zettlr pünktlich zu seinem achten Geburtstag die Version 4.0 freigegeben wurde. Sie bringt etliche Verbesserungen (unter anderem einen komplett neugeschriebenen Tabelleneditor) und auch viele Bugfixes. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2025122902_zettlr_4_0/ #Zettlr #Zettelkasten

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.
