I just read Sonke Ahrens book expecting to bring clarity on Zettelkasten and thought I was the only one who thought it brought more confusion

I love that I popped on here to learn more about you. I’m now going to order that book. The Facebook link kept sticking so I came on to find your page then found your KZbin

What do you do when you have to travel somewhere? Do you take all boxes with you

Handwriting is highly connected with memorizing and effectively understanding. If you need real stuff - real handwriting is the way. You have to actively reproduce it to learn it and to think through it. Obsidian doesn't help to learn anything IMO. It creates an impression that you learnt something because you stored it. Yeah, I've stored lots of violin scores on my PC. Did I know how to play them? Nope.

Just do it!!

What model of Vaultz do you use for Zettelkasten?

Quick question sometimes I listen to different types of podcasts and so I usually use the transcription to take notes? Any thoughts on this. Sometimes it’s academic courses as well as other topics.

I believe in body, soul, and spirit. Maybe we can understand our voices in three. Tracking my voices in my head is separate from the voice I hear in my heart. Brain dumping on the paper I use. My emotion of anger went high yesterday. Being an artist, I took this emotion and did a live KZbin into collaging art and released this emotion. It took a while because this thing is a build-up of 20 years. I am learning this card system. I do have an ADHD brain to work with. It is hard to focus and keep track if it is not simple. Yes, waiting to do things at the last minute can be me.😊❤

Is this Chinese?

I have a serious doubt. If I've the numbering 4214/17/1 followed with 4214/17/1a and continued till 4214/17/1z. I already have card running 4214/17/2 and followed with 4214/17/2a till 4214/17/2z. In this case how will I insert a new card between 4214/17/1z and 4214/17/2 which is a continuation of 4214/17/1 and not part of 4214/17/2

I went through the entire Sonke Ahrens book, listened to the audiobook again and again, read the ebook twice atleast and then went through section trying to make notes on note cards. He says at the end that it was using the method of the zettlekasten he wrote his book. So i attempted to reverse engineer so to speak. Now this made me a sharper reader and writer. But also realised most of his book does not focus on how to practically create and use your own zettlekasten. Im so glad i came across your videos

Bought your book today, and also got the e-book deal. I followed your guide, which was super clear if you actually read it - and I know have my ZK ready for action. Following the guide, I've also started on my first bib-card, translating everything into Swedish as I write and think. I will sleep well tonight! Stay crispy!

hello. im just wondering how you deal with books with more than one author or different sections with different authors?

I've signed up for Greenlamp but is there a tutorial somewhere to navigate this?

Where did you get the (very) cool black pipe lamp?

Could you please tell what is the size of card you are using?

Can you recommend supplies for your setup Scott?

Honestly, you lost me. I couldn’t follow what you were getting at.

Scott, I have a question. I know 3 languages: Filipino (our national language) English (the international one) and Minasbate (my very native dialect). I aim to publish my contents in English. But I cannot even grasp a profound thought unless I think in my dialect. Alas. Please reply...🫶❤️

Careful! I’m watching this second video of yours, after seeing your paid ad on FB, to get a better idea of what you have to offer? Sincerely, NOT a freebie seeking shit weasel😜

When are you and Sonke Ahrens going to do a podcast discussion together?

Scott, I have been using this analog zettelkasten for almost 3 months now, glad that I haven't wasted much time on Obsidian, haha. Can I message you? I need some scheperian advice.😂🎉 From the Philippines

Ya stay away from youtube please

Can you break down the monetization for those of us who also aspire to create?

Where do you get the Zettlekasten containers from?

Europeans and Americans have a traditional way of meditating. That is walking in the forest. Japanese Buddhism calls this behavior forest bathing, Buddha also liked to walk in the deer forest in the past. So, you just need to walk in a place with lots of trees, don't imitate the rich people meditating, they are just seeing meditation as a luxury fashion. Of course, we Buddhists don't like people like that.

I am a Buddhist, I confirm to you that meditation according to successful people is a failure, because the effect of meditation is happiness and knowing how to be satisfied with what you have. And Buddhism does not aim at fame, that is a taboo because it is greed Sitting in meditation and thinking about being rich is a mistake. In medicine, meditation actually has an effect, which is to improve concentration and stabilize emotions, which bring many benefits to work performance. On the other hand, the intuitive experience of scientists, or the intuition that appears when using zettelkasten (Ahrens said in his book) In my opinion, it is also a form of meditation, which is koan meditation. In the Zen tradition of Japan, Vietnam, China, Zen masters will give their students a difficult question, the students will let their unconscious mind freely think about Buddhist theories to deduce about that question, after a certain period of time, intuition for the solution will emerge in their mind, and that is an extremely joyful feeling. Zettelkasten is the same, you read the notes (thoughts) every day about your daily assumptions, sometimes let your mind wander about that assumption and at some point, your mind suddenly flashes an intuition about the idea and you are happy about it

jesuit? now we can stop taking you seriously

6:18 Interesting sentence from the book 8:44 Bib-note (literature note) is announcement to the location of a notable quotes in the book, not a summary of the author's ideas 9:05 On the Bib-note content, you can add 'a keyword come from the index' about where the sentence in the book will be "distilled and archived" in the main-note-box 9:49 index (register? I don't know) - is where an entrypoint is stored. And an "entrypoint" that leads to a cluster of notes related to the topic "contribution" is stored 10:53 - end: take a cluster of thoughts from the topic "contribution", spread them out on the table, read them. In the end, take a new note about "How you "fit" the ideas from the book into the cluster of thoughts"

I dont know why but why do we have got the zoom factor It is not usefull

VERY interesting

This is too Moeller, if I could ever get him on my show I would love to grill him about Luhmann. I find his book Radical Luhmann to be a poor representation of Luhmann's work.

Glad those walls are not paper thin 😂

I joined a dating site recently and put on my profile: 'I am looking for love but I will settle for sex'. It was taken down, against their guidelines and policies apparently. Honesty goes against their guidelines? 🙁

Is that a typewriter with a screen standing on the floor between tables? What is it exactly? I , as an analog hipster type, am intrigued.

the living Niklas

love, really!

What do you mean by shit wessels?

the "Z" in German should be pronounced "ts."

Possibly a stupid question: do you read the whole book before starting your bib cards?

This would be great, even despite the distractions of shaky cam focus, way too bright lighting, and unpracticed presentation... but the short shorts and REALLY wide manspreading seriously detracts from the otherwise-would-be-helpful presentation content. Please. Put some pants on and refrain from pushing your genitals towards the camera - it's offensive to anyone who's survived a lifetime of toxic mansplaining.

Congrats on your book, Nicolas!

just now getting started on this but had to stop for a minute because your jerky camera motions was giving me motion sickness! 🤮

Yeah man typewriters

Where you got those boxes?

All I see is a white screen. Is it just me?

What's your backup for all of that data?

$40k a month from what?
