How do you maintain your notes? Is there a specific application you use?

Hello!

I use an application called Obsidian. In the coming articles in the Zettelkasten method series we will talk about it and compare the different tools and technologies to implement the method.

Stay tuned!

An interesting application, similar to what I discuss in the method, but in a more technologically sophisticated version.

I'm an analog Zettelkasten person myself, but I think you did a great job of capturing the digital Zettelkasten.

Hi Kathleen! :)

Thank you! :) I think that, taking advantage of computer technology, the Zettelkasten can be enhanced even more. The only drawback it has is that writing things by hand is better for memorization of information than in digital.

I agree about the value of hand written notes, but I think of them as being installed as in my mind as ideas I can think with more than memorizing information.
