Analog zettelkasten from start to finish | Note-Making Workshop
Join the Flow Labs community to access these live workshops and the Zettel Monetizer course flowlabs.co/zettelkasten
Many have asked for a video demonstrating my process of going from source note to main note using the zettelkasten method.
In this video, I demonstrate the process in an analog system. I usually do my thinking on paper as it slows down my mind and allows me to produce higher quality notes. Once they are written, filed and indexed, I will input them into Obsidian (a slow and time consuming process, but very beneficial).

    I just hope that people who are discovering Zettelkasten and Obsidian for the first time find your content, bro. I’ve been struggling a lot to understand the workflow because, in Spanish-my native language-there aren’t many good resources. Most of them focus on Niklas Luhmann’s story, which I’ve heard like a hundred times already, and only briefly touch on the core workflow before trying to sell you a course. 😂 On the other hand, English creators explain highly detailed and personalized workflows, which are much better than what we have in Spanish. But for a beginner, it’s just too much information. I don’t know-I just wanted to express both my gratitude and frustration. Your videos provide such a clear and simple explanation of this incredible system, and it’s a huge help. ✌️

    Unless this could be automated somehow, sequencing notes in the way you show in this video wouldn’t work for me. This indexing system adds executive load to the Zettelkasten system. My ADHD and autistic brain produces thousands of thoughts an hour. I started using Obsidian to remove the executive load of managing the large quantity of notes that such an amount of thoughts produce. If anyone knows a way to make note sequencing automatic, I’d love to hear it.

      Its a lot slower in the video because I am explaining what I'm doing but otherwise it doesn't take that long. The "slowness" is beneficial for producing higher quality thoughts.

    i disagree for the most part. i get your point about not turning off our brains. however, im definitely not going to do research "organically" - i think ai has opportunities for saving time and let us spend more time being curious/synthesizing. your zettlekesten work is excellent and i support your work, but if you come out against AI/further automation i would probably unsubscribe from flowlabs since i would disagree with philosophy. i think if you only use perplexity you're not on the frontier of the tooling from a personal standpoint im interested 1) 1 foot in zettlekesten 2) 1 foot in ai future curious what emerges.

      Yeah I agree with you that it is useful for research (which is how I use it) but all I'm saying is that we should be mindful about whats being lost in the tradeoff for efficiency. I am not anti AI at all, I use many automations for my business. But I am not particularly interested in being on the bleeding edge of digital thinking tools. The greatest thinkers of all time used pen and paper and in this case, I'll side with what has stood the test of time rather than the unknown future (as exciting as it may be). I have no problem with anyone who wants to try to automate knowledge development, but I stand by what I said that it will not make you a better thinker. Thanks for your support my friend!
