![]() Luhmann wrote down interesting or potentially useful ideas he encountered in his reading on uniformly sized index cards ![]() Each note in Zettelkasten is devoted to one idea and then are connected via strands of references: ![]() Third time you look at a note, you may rephrase it in your own words and that will be perfect for just TweetingĪlso in 2017, Sönke Ahrens published the book “ How to Take Smart Notes” exploring the productivity system of Niklas Luhmann called Zettelkasten ( “slip-box” in german). Then next time you highlight the most relevant parts of thatģ. The first time you stumble upon a note, you may bold the interesting passagesĢ. You should progressively summarize your notes every time you touch them, so they become more refined and “your’s” over time (more here).ġ.You should store your notes in a place where you will need them next time.Archives for cold storage (say invoices in case of a tax audit) Resources which will serve you in the above endeavorsĤ. Areas where you need to perform at a consistent level (say, your Marriage)ģ. Projects that have a deadline (for example a Blog Post)Ģ. Every notebook/folder should be organized in one of the PARA groups (more in this article on Tiago’s site)ġ.Here is a basic overview of Tiago’s methodology: Tiago started with Evernote but has moved to an app-agnostic methodology of storing, retrieving, and summarizing information based on David Allen’s ideas from Getting Things Done. ![]() How do I make what I’m consuming right now easily discoverable for my future self?” The course addresses the “Post-Scarcity” nature of information in today’s world:Īnd many people become “infovores,” force-feeding themselves endless books, articles, and courses, in the hope that something will stick In 2017, Tiago Forte has started releasing his “ Building a Second Brain” course, which is now teaching it’s 11th cohort of (over 1000) students. So, what new has happened in the field over the last few years? Why the sudden revival of interest in note-taking tools? Second Brain When Gutenberg first introduced machinery to the note-taking process, it was kind of a big deal. When ideas are captured and shared, they can be improved upon and serve as building blocks of new ideas (also Leonardo Da Vinci’s notes are fascinating to this day). Books are notes prepared for sharing, and almost all software is some form of a notebook – that is why the field is called Information Technology. During the painful birth of my thesis, I adopted Evernote as my “Second Brain” and happily used it for the last 12 years.Īll human progress is based on some forms of Note Taking. Scientific research of human memory is in total agreement: it’s terrible, fragile, easily manipulated, and not to be trusted. My psychology Master Thesis was about just that: a particular aspect of the fallibility of human memory called The Source Monitoring Error. You take a piece of paper, and we’re done with it, right? And why do we need so many notes anyway? The last few years have brought us Notion, Roam, Obsidian, Foam, and about 20 more I can’t remember.įrom the outside Note-Taking or more accurately, Personal Knowledge Management may look like a solved problem. If it seems that every day a new Note-Taking app hits the market, that is correct.
