Status Updates From How to Take Smart Notes

for class, super interesting so far

amazing! eye-opening.

Gave up. Dull. Boring. The amount of information in here would make for a big pamphlet. But certainly not a book.

Leyendo sobre Zettelkasten me hace creer que toda la vida he vivido en modo avión

DNF

Up to now very uninformative and a slog to get through

academia and toxic productivity go hand in hand, i can tell you that much

im encountering here the same issues i normally have with self-help books: the author just goes on and on and on, repeating the same concept thirty times but in slightly different ways, hoping it’ll click for you this time (it clicked for me twenty eight times ago). but i started using obsidian today and OH BOY THAT SHIT’S ADDICTIVE!! my adhd brain sees thoughts as little bubbles and goes insane

The real explanation happens between pages 18 and 20

So far rather waffly, and reads more like a history book than a howto

Did a librarian hurt this man? Why all the librarian hate?

Cheguei a este livro buscando entende melhor o método Zettelkasten, espero que seja bom!

I avoided reading this for a long time. Am now reading as a follow up to some research I’ve been doing on zettelkasten and productivity

The main issue I have so far beyond lack of examples is this seems to take a narrow view of what notes can be. I use notes for many different purposes. In the context of crystallizing ideas for coherent academic-type writing there are useful things here.

Fleeting notes.

I’m all hyped up for this book. Watched few youtube vids about Zettelkasten last night and I can feel it in my bones how transformative this knowledge management system will be in my life.

“One cannot think without writing.” so true.

Sigue siendo tan interesante como la primera vez, y sigo descubriendo cosas nuevas.

Good so far ! Very interesting.

The book has nothing much to offer. I've stopped reading.

Dense but enjoyable

Very lofty writing thus far but not bad overall

“Taking permanent notes of our own thoughts is a form of self-testing as well: do they still make sense in writing? Are we even able to get the thought on paper? Do we have the references, facts and supporting sources at hand?”

To se nedá. Jestli by nějaká kniha měla být článkem, nebo rovnou tweetem (parafráze M. Kavky), tak je to rozhodně tahle.
Já to prostě dočtu. Ale absolutně u toho nejsem schopná držet pozornost. Nepíše nic konkrétního, neskutečně se opakuje a opakuje asi tak tisíckrát omleté pravdy, které jsou v jiných knihách (a článcích a podcastech) zpracované stokrát víc.

Ten systém zní smysluplně. Kéž by se mu autor věnoval.

This book is terribly misnamed. It doesn't tell you HOW to do anything. It's just a manifesto on WHY you should take "smart notes" (which is book-selling speak for the Zettlekastern method.)

This book is rather poorly named.

having a less-than-smooth experience of employing zettelkasten, but hey, practice makes perfect

Refreshing myself on this book. It’s a classic!

Not sure if I want to continue the book. Ever since around the 40% mark, the book keeps on repeating itself. 😪
