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. ✌️
Do you ever write more than one source note per book?
@@TheLPfunnTV yes most of the time. There is no rule as to how many source notes you should write, but being mindful of your extraction goal helps you not get too carried away
My absolute mad lad brain - just uses the ID as the title in obsidian - since it will be the filename anyways :3
I actually think theres a lot of value in doing it this way since it works as a forcing function to make you scan the contents of the notes as you browse them
This is amazing. Thank you for making this video and including all of the resources that you have. You have made my next 7 years of professional research easier, smoother, and significantly more enjoyable!
What s the black box where you keep the notes called? Can you suggest the name?
4x6 Snap N Store Index Card Box on Amazon
👏
My first obsidian vault became, with the help of AI, a giant Wikipedia page with links 😅. Now, I use AI for specific research and translation. Thanks to you, I came to understand the usage of Zettelkasten, which is making me make notes on my understanding of things rather than copy paste.
search isnt working for me, ive tried a million thigns
I mean yeah
Great, concise video. Thanks for this.
Amazing! Thanks a lot 👏
Thank you Tony - I found you on a reference to this video on reddit; really helped to see what you did; I would be interested in livestream session sometime as you mentioned. One question: the very first thing you referred to was a note card that you were 'streaming' to as you read. Do you do that as a rule or that was just how your reading of this book was going? Thanks again and look forward to more.
P.S. thanks for the recommendation for Time Timer - I ordered that! Cool....
1:00 totalmente
Thanks a lot for clarifying about the permanent note and main note ! You Just reframe one of my issue😁
👏👏👏👏 una segunda parte donde haces el proceso de pasr esas tarjetas a Obsidian //gracias saludos desde Uruguay
Facts! Deploying critical thinking skills is an important prerequisite to acquiring and evaluating new knowledge. I think AI summarizer tools could be helpful in skimming long texts for a task on deadline, but I reject its pervasive use in other contexts.
"Constraints helps you express one idea as concisely as possible" Good video!
I felt that the subject fits so well and is in synergy with analog Zettelkasten! The key approaches, like keeping an eye on your Zettelkasten, almost removing the context, doing some recalls, and cycling through your material, are what make it so powerful! Thanks! P.S.: I'd love to see how you take notes from the web and RUclips.
𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈!
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.
Thank you for all your hard work, I’ve just configured the Vault earlier today and will be giving it a go! 👏🏻
14:10 I downloaded your vault and followed the steps shown but the template you have in this video is not the same as what's available. The listed templates are under _meta and listed as main note or omnivore. I've used them both but they don't seem to work. Can you help me with implementing this step please? Thanks for sharing this video!
hello, i'm not receiving the download link, i've tried two different emails
@@miguelangelsantossantos7895 hey there, I just checked on my end and it looks like the email was sent. You may want to check your spam or junk folder and place it in your inbox if it ended up there. If it’s not there let me know and I’ll email it to you directly. Sorry for the trouble!
Hi @TonyRamella, I appreciate your thoughtful approach to Zettelkasten. Dropping in to point out that your description contains a dead link pointing to Flow Vault Pro (the URL slug has a typo; it's missing the 's' in 'zettelkasten.')
Thanks for the heads up! It’s fixed now. Sorry about that!
@@TonyRamella Glad to be of service. 😸 It might be the first time ever. If RUclips gave out badges, I'd rank the "first-time helper" badge.🏅 Cheers.
@@mazal-bb It's not working today, I'm afraid. Thanks for your brill videos, by the way.
I thought that the notes on the index card were fleeting notes, without so much data. You notes seem like a confluence of data, when it’s supposed to be a quick concept. Of course you can adapt the system to your needs.
6:30 perfect i think that was the bug why i read somewhere not to upgrade to zotero 7 so i think imma do that now.
"People say it's good to get away from the screen, but no one says it would be good to get away from pen and paper." - Andrew James (Coffee in drawings out)
I'm confused I thought you said an Obsidian Vault would be linked in the Description with all of the templates files and that directory file you had yet I see nothing of the sort
Thanks for the heads up. Check again
@@TonyRamella Still not seeing your Source Note Hub in the downloadable vault. Can't do anything you're showing in this video. What am I missing?
awesome video. do you have any tips for someone who doesn't have any slip notes written at all? the video presupposes a pre-existing slip box that I can "have an eye towards" while reading, but what if I don't have any notes to keep an eye to?
Thank you my friend. Definitely the most challenging part is first starting out because you don’t have that advantage of pre-meditated connections. You can start by listing a few interests that you can imagine yourself teaching to others and use that as an initial filter to work with as you build a foundation. Hope this helps!
@@TonyRamella what did your first notes look like? were they just excerpts/quotations/concept definitions from the literature you were reading or were they original (i.e like the main note you were writing in the video)
@@paperbob_1 they were not as much like the one I wrote here, less in my own words. Keep in mind this is a skill that you develop over time. Start by aiming for 20% written in your own words and try to work your way up to 80%. It’s ok if you just write excerpts but try to add some commentary if you can. The goal is to reformulate ideas into your own words.
This guy gets it.
Hi want to ask, why my citation key format is authorTitle? how can i change it
Great video! As someone who has used the analog Zettelkasten method for years and only recently has been transitioning to also using it digitally, I totally agree!
This was the most lucid approach that I've seen. I'm really thankful and less anxious!! I've a doubt now. I'm migrating my notion to Obisidian and I really don't figure how my saved articles and web resources (that I'm treating as "Sources") will be linked/tagged to the rest or my knowledge base (seems to me that they're "source notes") -or should I leave then to avoid "wikipediate my system"? If someone on comments has any idea or approach, feel free to answer too.

Great book ADHD 2.0
This is like Scott Scheper but without the insults😅
I learned a lot from Scott's book but I get what you mean
Shitweasel alert 🚨
I didn't think that the process was slow. It's a lot faster and productive than me staring out the window.
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. When you quickly write digital notes it often leads to the temptation of revising/editing and the notes don't feel as complete. Thanks for watching!
Just what I need , thankk youu , can you please share the live later ?
I do these livestreams in my private community (see description) but I plan to occasionally stream them here on RUclips. Glad it helped!
A huuuuuuge part of all productivity trends is the massive amount of procrastination they allow you to pretend you’re not doing.
Thank you Tony. Your comments go straight to the point. I have checked the system about a year ago, but at that time it would be impossible to me apply it. Now that I am returning to it, I am glad I watched your explanation! My sincere gratitude!
very good video Tony!
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!
@@TonyRamella Absolutely! I am very interested in zettlekesten as a “bottom up approach” I think some of the ai tools are very good for the “top down approach”
Hope your channel becomes more popular because the quality and effort behind each content is immeasurable!
Thank you very much my friend. We are just getting started. It’s a pleasure to have you along for the ride!
A new PKM guru.
Hardly. I am not very good at managing knowledge which is why I prefer to use a zettelkasten to develop ideas for creative outputs.
Wrong, poorly thought out, and inexperienced. Use the apps and ai, and interact with them before you talk, or do not talk
@@oakjon8571 I have used them extensively. How exactly am I wrong about defining clear boundaries with these tools to preserve critical thinking?
@TonyRamella having ai simplify and condense information and explain it how YOU want or need it to be explained is a incredibly powerful tool that allows people to learn faster and more effectively. The idea that ai would stop critical thinking is like saying boats are going to make us lose the ability to swim. People who would lose critical thinking to ai are the ones who never had it to begin with.
@@oakjon8571 To quote Paul Graham, "If you think without writing, you only think you're thinking."
Thank you very much for showing the process step by step. I just finished reading "how to take smart notes" and I felt like I understood the value but the method was still a bit foggy. Your video has helped me greatly.
What Obsidian gurus get wrong about Zettelkasten is... pronunciation. It's German word, so "tsetlkastn". ;) But putting jokes aside, nice video.
Yes, I apologize to all my German friends. In America, if you pronounce a foreign word the correct way, you sound pretentious. If you pronounce it the wrong way, you sound like an idiot to its native speakers. Either way, you can't win :) Thanks for watching. Wait until you hear my pronunciation of "folgezettel" (I apologize in advance)
@@TonyRamella "you sound pretentious" wait, what? Really? You truly shocked me, it's new for me. For me, and probably many of Europeans, it is respect. Also, I check foreign word prononciation just because I am curious how it sounds (German is not my mother tongue).
