"The starting point for effective knowledge management in organizations needs to be knowledge management at the personal level. If you are a knowledge worker, effective personal knowledge management matters."
I'm working with my notes (#Zettelkasten) for ~15 years. There's a ton of crap inside, but there's so much good stuff that I can use it to work on new thoughts. It's great.
But since I'm using this tool to do my real job better, I'm also not publishing a lot on the meta-level.
Progress on all things "Zettelkasten", the method, is slow, because using the method and the tools I build doesn't leave much time.
Die Situation um mein »zweites Gehirn« spitzt sich noch schlimmer zu, als ich gestern befürchtet hatte. Denn nicht nur, daß Logseq mit seinen Datenbankträumen meiner Nutzung im Wege steht, auch das als Alternative angedachte Zettlr fällt offensichtlich flach. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2024050501_zettlr_catalina/#Zettlr#Catalin#Zettelkasten
Last year I tried Obsidian and concluded it was more than I needed. Bear.app was just fine for me.
For the past week I’ve been revisiting Obsidian because I wanted something that would let me build a Zettelkasten note-taking system. Having experimented and learned with a physical slip box, I know what I want from an app.
With an Obsidian-Zettelkasten pair, I get that next level of knowledge management I want, and the power and flexibility to make it my own.
@ctietze Primarily, a simple method of organizing notes by something other than hashtags, such as folders. Having one method to group data made for a very flat structure.
Also, true templates instead of marking an ordinary note as a template and duplicating it.
And having used Bear for seven years, I’ve found its development very slow. It simply hasn’t innovated any great degree during that time.
I’m also a fan of Obsidian’s file-based approach to storage over a SQLite database.
