What Obsidian gurus get wrong about Zettelkasten is... pronunciation. It's German word, so "tsetlkastn". ;) But putting jokes aside, nice video.

Really glad you talked about this. I have ethical reasons not to use certain types of AI (especially because I'm an artist and hate what visual generative AI is doing to us) though I acknowledge that this kind of AI can prove beneficial to the general note taker, especially in the scope of disability accommodation. Still, it shouldn't take *over* the entire process of thinking, so it's nice to see someone address this and understand the value of nurturing the process of learning. From an ADHDer to another ADHDer who just started using Obsidian + your Flow Vault, thanks and kudos!

I think the limitation should be how much you can see without scrolling (let's say one or two "scrolls" if you have some images) or on hover card.

I have recently switched to Emacs and Org Mode and it is like nirvana to me. I don’t use Org Roam yet but I plan to. I’m the future I want to use Org Mode for its agenda, tasks, time keeping, ability to “export” anything pandoc compatible (ditching office suite) and more. As a minimalist I love the one tool to do a job, this is one tool to do so much more. I suspect Emacs won’t add AI but if someone does create a package/mode, it’s opt in anyway! 🎉

My system is 1. Physical notebooks and daily note taking. 2. All of those physical notes screen shotted and further annotation to Apple Notes 3. Reinforce key concepts with Calender reminders alerts on a weekly, monthly bases depending on the concept. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Very useful when learning abstract Hapax Legomenons.

Thanks for the reminder Tony.

You are one of few you tuber that challenge conventional thinking keep doing it!!!😊 More you challenge convention ways(in moderate way) more refine your self becomes

very helpful!!!

Your understanding of "atomic notes" is different from mine. I understand it not as "atomic power", but "indivisible atom"-- a single core idea. Would you say that indivisible notes are a key component of a ZK system?

Really appreciate your video. Can i get the template (md template and CSS, etc)?

These kinds of videos are very helpful! However, I'm still not understanding what exactly an index is. I understand what its meant to accomplish, but you said not to pigeonhole notes into broad categories or topics (the example given was writing), but then you said that 'writing' can be a sort of placeholder link? Can you explain that concept a bit more? I may just need a visual of some kind because I'm having a hard time understanding how indexes come about organically. I'd also love to see something on sequencing notes. I've made several notes here and there but I have a really hard time placing them in any kind of sequence or branching tree

Not me thinking he was talking about minecraft

This video spared me probably tens of hours wasted going down the rabbit hole of confusion which abounds on this topic. Knowing what *not* do is often more important than knowing what to do. Thanks, now I have a clear discerning criteria for discarding tutorials at an early stage.

I have been carrying my Field Notes books for a couple of years and the practice has made me happier and more calm. I really do use my phone mostly for calls now. Thanks for the video.

Man, this is so helpful! Thank you very much!

Amazing!! You get it!! I am just starting my PhD and trying to find the best way to study and record my knowledge! I have Dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD 🎉and you have helped me so much thank you!!

Hi, what is the theme you are using?

Hi! I tried to get the free Obsidian vault - put in my email and answered questions - but I didn’t receive anything (I checked my spam too). I tried it twice… 🥲

Awesome awesome video, very interesting, thank you for spending the time to share your research and knowledge !

Your download link is non-existent or not working 😢

At this point, i really just wanna see an actual example of the method in use on real content. Im 25% through the book, and the only examples are abstract. Author and everyone keeps saying "It is actually a very simple method", yet why am i using so much time trying to learn it then?? Cornell notes took no time to learn at all...

This helped a lot im new to this too.

A walk through of how to set up this up in Obsidian would be awesome. I am at a loss as how to take the second brain download and set it up into Obsidian so that I can use it. I am new to it all and am interested it using it.

I didn't get what's the meaning of the term "friction" in the context of annotating. Maybe it's a translation matter. Could someone help please?

Interesting! Do you use MoCs in addition to indexes, or do your indexes already encompass that?

Agree; I would just say that the end product is your output: your essay or book or whatever you use your notes to produce. I haven’t seen any videos that address “note to product” yet, but I figure I’m on my own for that.

Me: That is so true ive been scolling for hours. Also me: Keeps scolling another 3 hours

I still don't get how a Zettlekasten is supposed to be a thinking partner that helps you write essays and books? How do you link new notes to existing notes? If a new note you've written reminds you of an existing one, how are you supposed to find that note unless it's recent? you'd have to go through every card. What if you randomly think of a connection between two existing notes, but both of those notes are buried in a thousand notes? Are you supposed to reread every single note you've written periodically, link spaced repetition/anki cards? PLEASE make a new video SHOWING how the Zettlekasten is a thinking partner that helps you create knowledge and write essays.

Thank you Tony, you're a hero.

Hey, I think I did something wrong. When you click command+shift+L the red Zotero searching bar appears... I can't manage to get it. Plus when I try to open the command palette it opens Zotero but in the note in Obsidian, it says "no reference found" I'm really frustrated I have tried everything... any advice? I think I did something wrong :(

Thank you for doing what I wanted to be able to do! Seeing it done physically was going to become the only reason I learned the method I was so frustrated by the confusing and nonpragmatic videos that never showed you the direct actions of making and organizing the notes.

i reccomend a moleskin cashier book. Good with fountain pens too

I followed a long and now have the strong desire to get your templates

I'd love to see a video detailing the note sequencing and indexing process. I've seen another video of yours in which you show it (I think), but I'd be very interested to see how it works setting it up from scratch. Or setting up the entire system from scratch, that is

In "How to Read a Book", the authors suggest writing the main insights at the end of the book. That might be a decent alternative to writing it on a separate literature note, since I'm not interested in maintaining actual flash cards. Hadn't done that so far out of laziness, but will try it out now, thanks!

Beside the point, but your assertion at 10:58 that the info we consume is not filtered for misses that the largest and most powerful corporations in human history are using incredibly sophisticated algorithms to filter and direct

I've been looking into this method recently and the different buzzwords I hear on RUclips do not provide clarity. This video seems different, I'll check out more!

It looks like you're no longer offering the vault for free. I appreciate how much time, energy and personal exploration it would have taken to make this so if you want to charge for it, I get it. But, is there a smaller version of it or a summary of the plugins and use that you had set up there that you'd be willing to make open source again for those who cannot spend $60 on the vault you set up? And if I'm mistaken, please let me know. Or - at least take the 'free' and link in the description of this video down since it goes to a 404 page and is no longer relevant. Thanks for your time and offerings for other ADHD brains.

I am much more confused when my obsidian contains a lot of notes with very short text. I noticed that I enjoy much more to write longer notes with more information. These notes end up to be very valuable to me, whereas the very short notes and are mostly disappearing between all the other short notes. So to conclude, Just do whatever fits your personal style and your brain and don't listen that much to RUclips videos how it should be...

Very informative. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

this video is incredibly helpful 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

All the problem came from Ahrens' terms. That's all

Ahrens said that we have three kind of notes: fleeting, literature, and permanent. After few chapters he released: 1.Fleeting notes, 2.Permanent notes (including Literature notes and Permanent notes), 3. Project notes. So all the youtubers started getting confused by Ahrens terms, then everyone started interpreting it in their own way and making zettelkasten different from the one Ahrens was using. In the end, the reader of Ahrens's book is the first victim, the second victim is the RUclips viewer. Personally, I am a victim of both.
