Tools for thought ≠ just apps.

PKM isn’t new—and it isn’t just digital. From notebooks to mind maps, analog tools still play a powerful role in how we think, write, and learn.

Don’t let shiny new toys and apps distract from solid thinking and meaning making.

I believe I may have found a way to describe #zettelkasten work in #lambdacalculus — like, what it entails to do something in your Zettelkasten, and the communication system that emerges

Trying to decide: Obsidian.md or Logseq — which one is the ultimate tool for knowledge management and note-taking?

Both have their strengths, but I’m curious:
Which do you use and why?
Pros, cons, hidden features — let’s discuss!

I'm exploring different ways to display notes in a nested way via Miller columns.

Notes can be linked, transcluded, grouped, and put in parent-child relationships.

I'm still experimenting with different UX designs.. Will write a blog post later as this is a really fun and there are some neat ideas here to explore. #uxdesign #zettelkasten

Realised that I much prefer #Logseq for my fleeting notes, i.e. my #CommonPlaceBook. I tried using #Obsidian for a while, but I much prefer the Logseq bullet point way of doing things.

I'm not giving up on Obsidian, far from it. It'll be for my permanent notes and where I do much of my #writing.

If this means I'll have two files, of exactly the same notes (but in different formats), so be it.

I’m sure there are some #pkm people in here that use a digital #zettelkasten. How do you solve "where to file a note" problem? Let me elaborate.

I don’t use any IDs because it seemed that it's a paper process problem. At the same time, when I wrap up a note, I don’t immediately know which ones to link it to to add it to the graph. The paper approach solves this by filing it under the closest relevant ID.

If I don’t link the note immediately it's effectively lost forever, because it's outside of the graph, it most probably has some random title (titles are hard!) and it is in a folder with 400 other notes.

Maybe I should keep such notes as Fleeting until I can link them into the permanent graph? For me it created a problem of notes being fleeting for too long because there's no place to anchor then either.

I **suppose** that IDs solve this problem because you can always apply at least the "soft" structure of ID topics. But is there a better way?

Can you make too many notes? This guy did. #zettelkasten #notetaking #pkm https://writingslowly.com/2025/03/24/lord-acton-took-too-many.html

Anyone use the #Zettelkasten method of note-taking and knowledge management? Stumbled across it and I'm quite curious about it. I read widely across a lot of topics. No longer in grad school but having a way to organize and cross-reference is really appealing.

Hier könnt ihr einen Blick in meinen #Zettelkasten werfen und den Gedanken und Ideen folgen, die mir so über den Weg laufen...

I spotted a note on #zettelkasten and took a bit of a look at what's being mentioned under that tag, but while I saw some further interesting things, I still have one big question. Where can I find something that I can read in print form (and order probably through my local book shop), about how it works?

Not really needing it any time all that soon, as I'm wading through Ryder Carroll's book at the moment. Though I think I've put that a bit on hold as I'm not quite sure what I'm wanting to do around that anyway.
