CW: Today... 2026 July 12 ... Hot hot hot...
Not really that hot, just I got really hot because I kind of screwed up the eating outside thing, and we don't have a patio umbrella, so while it was relatively cool out, it was at the time (about 2 hours) that the deck doesn't get shade.
There's time in the morning as well.
But I wrote some days ago (I'm not entire oh yesterday) about trying #Zettlekasten, or some sort of knowledge or reading, or whatever system. @[email protected] sent a post from a couple of years ago (18 months? almost 20 months).
I've not read it, but the thing that I kind of felt with what I was just "feeling" about it, is I need to just do something. The getting started is probably a big part. This is what most of what I've seen has said. It's more specific than I'm comfortable with. But then, so was #BulletJournal #BuJo, and I found my way way to that working out.
Just wrote a post, which I'll put a more specific note about on my site:
https://new.jigmedatse.com/blog/2026-07-13-thinking-about-zettelkasten/
Along with the Ko-Fi post about the post:
https://ko-fi.com/post/Thinking-about-Zettelkasten-post-O6F5234KLT
Anyway, I think I should head to bed before it's too late...
Thank you everyone. Take care. -

My philosophy with newbies learning how to use #Obsidian and organize their #PKM is just start simple and come up with your own system bit by bit and tweak along the way. (I don't like following other people's systems.)
Yesterday I wondered if there was a better way 🤣. Thanks to the core plugin Bases and the community plug-in Notebook Navigator, I managed to organize my tag sprawl into something more manageable. Tags are such a pain - I have no idea how to use them before, so I simply tagged stuff randomly in the past. So, Notebook navigator revealed that I had hundreds of tags, with many of them only used once 🫠
So, yesterday I spent a long time getting rid of them.Fortunately, organizing my vault is one of those activities I love, so I had a lot of fun doing it but it was still tedious nitpicky work.
My next step is to come up with a way to catalog and org my PKM. I've used Obsidian mostly as a word processor cum research base to write drafts for posts and journals, but each of these drafts can be knowledge docs. I may have to finally apply the #Zettlekasten system 😆

Although most of my work-time has been spent on #Zettlekasten¹ and related work, I am still doing research on the Republic of Letters with an aim of reimplementing it.²
I discover other people also inspired by the Rep. Letters: "This project […] proposes to reënact this concept for the purposes of exchange of visions of the future of Europe.”³ They're more about broadcast than point-to-point, it seems.

Searching for org-mode ideas, I've spent ~19 minutes watching this video about how searching for the next great note-taking system/app is procrastinating (time wasted). I feel I wasted ~19 minutes watching this video.
Here it is in case you want to waste that time yourself.

@Ashedryden #Zettlekasten method used with @obsidian software.
The full workflow is a bit huge (for instance, for references : Zotero for bibliography and "raw" citations taking, then export to Obsidian and organizing all my datas/citations into notes I will be able to find out whenever necessary), and I still adapt it to my needs. It works great.
I wish I had know these method (Zettlekasten) and tools (Obsidian - it didn't exist at this moment) when I prepared my PhD dissertation... -

Small question to the fellow mastodon members:
Do you use #anki ? If so, what do you use it for ?I’m trying to use anki alongside obsidian (#zettlekasten) and I’m not at school anymore. I would want some ides on how people use it in their day to day lives

I've been using a PARA + ZETTELKASTEN hybrid method for the past few days and so far this seems to be going great. Everything is organized with more notes to be written or transferred over in time.

#Notion just made #backlinks almost invisible. They're Still there but hidden behind a hover-button that needs the mouse to be visible.
Does anyone have a #recommendation for a similar app for my #zettlekasten? I'm looking for something that
* shows backlinks by default
* has web, ios and android apps
* can import from notion
* let's you link notes (@ or [[ or similar) -

Y hoy volvemos al #obsidian, ahora con la pregunta de ¿cómo demonios me organizo para lo que se me viene? (un doctorado). Estoy mirando cosas de #zettlekasten pero aún me tengo que aclarar. También creo que tengo que tunear el propio obsidian.

For me, the #maintakeaway
from the dialogue here suggests that "normalization" is not congruent with #Zettlekasten
Which is at least most of what I was trying to accomplish by addressing the topic.judging by the discourse that ensued, i tend to believe I may be mistaken about the true meaning of the [ Zettle Kasten ] method.
I assimilated something abbreviated, or what's here:
https://zettelkasten.de/posts/how-to-program-yourself-productivity/ (1)Since the idea was to think less of software-- in that article(1)-- i was trying to break it down conceptually.
The article lends insight, but whether to adopt the implementation advised therein. it seems quite like what I already use in #CherryTree

So I transferred my existing notes to #Logseq, but building a #zettlekasten is much easier for me using #Obsidian.
Obsidian makes it easy to split windows to see multiple notes at the same time and extract text to new or existing notes.
In Logseq, I have to copy and paste everything and constantly navigate back and forth. To be honest, it feels a bit like working with sticks and stones!
Though I guess I _could_ open multiple windows...

@rebeccawb there are many tools in the #Zettlekasten space, like #obsidian - but really the best advice I can give is to get away from Google and the other AI scrapers ASAP.

I’ve been slowly putting my engineering knowledge into an Obsidian vault, with the hope that eventually I’ll be able to be approached with a problem and find a solution by just looking at my vault graph. I think this is a pretty common goal for engineers/software developers who use Obsidian but I haven’t gotten there yet. Can anybody share any stories of this goal being realized?
