Zettelkasten Basics

Title:

Description:

Zettelkasten is a Note taking process - and a personal knowledge management system. It has 3 types of notes...

1. Fleeting Notes: These are temporary notes that serve as memory reminders when creating the actual notes.
2. Literature Notes: It will be a summary of the content. Keep it short, be very selective and use your own words.

3. Permanent Notes
Once you are done with the content, go thru these fleeting notes and write down the main concepts that are presented. These are the permanent notes. Make sure the permanent notes meet the following criteria
- Write one idea per note - but as complete as possible
- Write as if you are writing for someone else - use full sentences, show sources.
- Be precise, clear and brief
- Should be understood even if you don't know the context it was taken from.

Think of how the new notes are connected to the other existing notes in the system...
- How does this idea fit into what I already know
- What does this idea mean for another idea I already have
- Does this add to, contradict or explain another idea I already have

If the new idea is connected to an existing idea, link out to that idea from the current one. After a while, this will end up being an interconnected web of ideas.
