M_dow Zettelkasten and Bullet Journals are my two favorite productivity tools. A++ highly recommended.
🤔 David What's your experience with Zettelkasten? I read about it on HN but haven't taken any time to test it out

M_dow I'm writing a dissertation in the humanities (the political teaching of Dante's "Divine Comedy"). I'm still relatively early in the writing process. I'm using physical cards, not a digital system, because I find it easier to avoid distractions (and it's more portable for the moment).
🤙 Migz Zet takes a little bit of time to get the hang of, especially when you are just starting with your first notes. Finding the links between them is the main appeal of this method, but requires more thought processing.
🤔 David I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the input!
M_dow Wanted to say more above: I like the portability and expandability for getting thoughts onto paper. Filling a whole page is daunting; filling a card is easy. I use large cards (5x8) because condensing an idea to a 3x5 card would also be daunting.
🤔 David You know, this makes perfect sense for any research process with a lot of information and trying to structure all of your thoughts
🗨️ Fui 3 months in and I'm still trying to get it off the ground. Especially regarding the permanent notes. I have yet to wrap my head around what exactly to put on them after gathering, say, all my reading notes on a particular book. Any suggestions?
