It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it works for me and I am not aware of any other software which resembles Luhmann's system as close as this one. Having said that, I feel there is a lot of interesting tinkering going on at the moment and it's worth keeping an eye open for new solutions. (less)

There are more and more software solutions available, all with different advantages and for different needs. They are all far from perfect, though. I very much hope that in increasing interest in the Zettelkasten-method will lead to a healthy competition on new software (ideally free, open-source, platform independent and extremely simple).

Quotes by Sönke Ahrens  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Learning, thinking, and writing should not be about accumulating knowledge, but about becoming a different person with a different way of thinking. This is done by questioning one’s own thinking routines in light of new experiences and facts.”
Sönke Ahrens, How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers

“The real enemy of independent thinking is not an external authority, but our own inertia. The ability to generate new ideas has more to do with breaking with old habits of thinking than with coming up with as many ideas as possible.”
Sönke Ahrens, How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers

“The most important advantage of writing is that it helps us confront ourselves when we do not understand something as well as we would like to believe.”
