Knowledge Management Rhizome

The Zettelkasten is a system for organizing information based on links and tags.

Major idea is to externalize thinking

• Deliberately store valuable ideas
  
• When storing ideas, link to other ideas you've already had
  
• Key question when linking: In what context do I want to see this again? (How To Take Smart Notes With Org-mode · Jethro Kuan)
  
• Then let the idea go, and let the Zettelkasten resurface it when it's relevant
  

Useful practices:

• Avoid hierarchy: Too rigid (Clear, D. B.: Zettelkasten — How One German Scholar Was So Freakishly Productive)
  
• PARA organization (The PARA Method: A Universal System for Organizing Digital Information)
