Thanks! I did not feel like this video was totally clear, I need to keep thinking through Rubin's book and creativity and how that relates to a zettelkasten. But this was an attempt to articulate some not-yet-fully-formed thoughts!
@@morganeua Pro tip: Don't show a zettlecasten from zero. Instead, do a concrete example of a project starting with a body of cards and then do two iterations. This will show some context and enough repetition to illustrate that when the conditions are in place, creativity happens naturally.
@@blaiseutube ... but make sure there is a clear link to a 'how to start' zettle/Obsidian vaults/Scrintal within the screen and notes. So those starting or need a refresher can still go and get, etc., etc. Assuming they haven't been here before and bookmarked a few. Also, noting a new version will be needed periodically as the apps add major new features, like say Obsidian's 'Canvas' or the 'Properties' replacing the very code-ish YAML that may change the work flow radically.
What an interesting quote, haven't thought about creativity in that way before. I guess my creative life is not knowing what a creative life it is exactly and trying to figure it out along the way. As a researcher who deals with a lot of transdisciplinary actors in sustainability science, I always find it so fascinating to just listen and to connect different types of knowledge. Although I am still experimenting with different ideas of communicating knowledge, that are not traditional papers, maybe music or paintings in combination with some text. Something that isn't as boring as the standard paper
Nice video. You explain things very well. I also wanted to tell you that you are the one who introduced me to the obsidian. Please also make videos about it as well. Particularly about research workflows. Something like if I have an idea about something. So I can read about it from other people's work and also I can think about it to form my own opinion. So how we can combine both this things together.
This is a great video! As a data scientist and composer I find new ideas for sounds and visualizations come to me all the time. I look forward to encompassing this into my process. Love your channel btw!
I sometimes use the eastern "no mind" technique to quiet the noisy monkey in our thought space. Once you shut off that conscious mind chatter and go quiet..thats when the radio signal comes in...flashes of insight or flow state. I will making connections or start reframing or creating weird angles . It beats going to the dispensary for "creative assistance"🤣 Anyways good video 💯
Great video! I love your content. I've tried several times to start a Zettlekasten I'm in a very creative but very technical field (computer programming) and I find very hard really have "atomic" notes. All my topics are so entangled that I usually kind of do "documentation dumps". Eventually I stop writing because I realize it's not really my words or I don't see the value... Your video is very inspiring, maybe I need to try again.
All those snippets of sample code... make a 'zettle'... but perhaps you are better off thinking of one for coding in ideas and workflows rather than snippets as most IDEs have functions for that, right?
If you're into music producers and creativity, Brian Eno and his collaborator Peter Schmidt created and sold a custom "zettelkasten" called "Oblique Strategies" which Eno frequently used in the recording studio during live sessions when he hit creative walls. There are various digital versions of his card set online for playing around with in your own creative work. Thanks for this mini-review. I've had Rubin in my reading pile for a while, specifically to see what he says with respect to the idea of combinatorial creativity. Perhaps it's time to bump him up the list?
I have actually heard of Oblique Strategies, even though I don't really know anything about Eno himself! I first heard about the Oblique Strategy cards in the circus context, actually, to shake up ways of thinking about how to do/think about circus :P
No, not for my main zettelkasten! I'm pretty committed to Obsidian for my generic knowledge management. I use Scrintal personally for things I specifically want to lay out visually, like lesson planning, for instance.
You continue to be the most clear, concrete and encouraging zettlecasten creator.

Scrintal looks interesting, particularly the spirit of the team behind it.

Lol, yes silence/boredom helps me, too! I get a lot of my ideas while I'm driving or running and there's nothing for me to do but think.

Now now, Chris, no bumping allowed. : ))))))) This is a nonviolent space.

I like the tips on creativity.
I'm glad! I didn't feel like they were too concrete in this video, but I hope you got something out of it, anyway!
great video as always morgan!
I love this book and read it often.
Isn't it wonderful?!
You are so smart
... bliss.
Are you switching from obsidian to scrintal?
No, not for my main zettelkasten! I'm pretty committed to Obsidian for my generic knowledge management. I use Scrintal personally for things I specifically want to lay out visually, like lesson planning, for instance.

The person who thinks that she knows something does not yet know as she ought to know.
I'm not totally sure what that means, but I'm definitely always trying to keep learning! ❤
Also the album that converted me to a life long metalhead… Slayer Reign in Blood… my first cassette… 🖤🤍
Oh man, I tried to get into metal a few months ago, but it didn't stick! I'll have to check out that album!
