Zettelkasten

Overview

• It originates from a system of writing on index cards.
• These cards would be grouped into various boxes meant for a specific purpose.
• Each of these cards would be linked to other cards through an index number.

Types of Notes

• Zettelkasten has 3 different types of notes -
  1. Fleeting Note - Raw data, not distilled (very similar to the daily note).
  2. Literature Note - A traditional note, with a lot of data about a specific topic.
  3. Permanent Note - Very distilled, summarizes a single idea in a few sentences.
