thanks for this, alvaro! excellent. reading slowly; just this morning, i stopped reading a good detective novel with only four pages remaining. i was at a natural stopping point, so i closed the paperback <insert bookmark> and relished the knowledge that first thing in the morning, i'll have one more *sitting* reading the little novel . i bet you can guess where in the house the paperback awaits me. keep going! ur fan, j.
Yes, exactly! Zettelkasten is a very powerful method. In fact, the system described in this article is a simplified version of the Zettelkasten system in a way. I think this one is practical, but perhaps Zettelkasten is more future-proof if you read a lot of books.

Hi J!
I can just picture you pausing at that perfect spot, knowing the story’s waiting for you in the morning. I bet that paperback’s right by your bed.
I find that an analog Zettelkasten is a great note-taken partner to syntopical reading.

Good point :)
