  • You explained this subject exceptionally well! Sometimes, the almighty algorithm delivers a real gem. 💎
  • Great video!! I have the feeling that, unlike a lot of youtubers, you have nothing to sell, but you just want to share your understanding, your experiences and your ideas. I wish you big success with your channel. Thank you.

    By far the best explanation of the Zettelkasten method that I have seen. You explain that it is a tool for writing and thinking that is personal to each individual. It is not a static database of facts which aims to be comprehensive. It is all about connecting the facts, questions and ideas that interest us, and doing it very quickly. We will miss connections sometimes, but we will also stumble across new ones by chance. It can never be complete because our knowledge and interests are changing all the time. And the simplicity of Apple Notes could be ideal for this, as you suggest. Folders, tags, links and search could be all that's needed for the Fleeting, Content, Reference and Permanent notes that make up the system. Thank you Patrick. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
  • Hi Patrick, thank you for this interesting video. As oliverparlebureau mentioned "Raum" means literally "room". But in this case, it means space in different ways (not only outer space as he wrote). The complete translation of the note (shown in this clip) is as follows: 7/40 Space Links: Personal space 536/7fB Territoriality 21/3d19t Time/Space 7/9e4f Mathematization / Movement / 54/19,1 d Social system > Space 21/3d27fB (…) City 7/71 (or „l“) Art 32/3g13k71 (or “l“)

    Ridiculously useful explanation !!! As said here before; best explanation available. Praise the Algorithm to deliver this to me at the right time 👍
  • Thought provoking. I’ve had Apple computers/devices for a while now and never found a use for Apple Notes. I’ll definitely look into trying out a zettelkasten system around topics that interest me. The idea of building up a linked resource of ideas and facts that can be tapped into in the future is intriguing.
  • @LifeInGray696
    Agree - definitely the best explanation of zettelkasten I have seen. Thank you!!

    Sinto que nos dias de hoje, a pressa de fazer e viver, nos impede de ter tempo para apreciar e pensar no que vivemos
  • This is a great way to better understand and implement Zettelkasten.I think I understood the concept, but implementing with digital tool is not always easy. And you demonstrated it very good. BTW Raum in german means Room in English, but take it more broadly. Weltraum (literally World-room) means outerspace.

    Very interesting video. I'm kind of a Notes enthusiast and have really been enjoying your channel.

    Great video!! Thank you for explaining so succinctly! How do you manage backlinks with this method? Or do you not?
  • how do you handle backlinks in apple notes? and do you have a backup scheme, if someday, apple will drop notes and you have to continue with a different software?
