Zettelkasten

🗳 Zettelkasten (German: "slip box", plural Zettelkästen)

A “Zettelkasten” or card file is a method to manage knowledge.

  • Take ideas from books, articles or conversations

  • Write these ideas on note cards

  • Collect them in a central database (digitally) or a “Zettelkasten“ (physically)

  • Link them together and start finding larger relationships between concepts you’re learning
