- Nobody taught you how to turn your readings into knowledge assets, so I'm here to show you the first and most important step: making source notes (aka literature notes).
This is widely understood as the most confusing part of the zettelkasten system but in this video, we will demystify the process by showing how simple it actually is.

I discovered your channel this week. Your content is interesting and your instruction is clear and concise. Thank you.
Step by step, clear, concise. Actions taken with an objective. Thank you.
Great video. It is helpful your idea of showing how you take notes alive. Thank you!
Hey Tony! I came across your video today (5.19.24) researching info about Obsidian to which I'm new to. I have to say I GREATLY APPRECIATE this video. It cuts right to it with NO FLUFF. In other words, it's substantive! Some questions I have are the following:
1. Will the principles you've demonstrated work with ANY subject? My particular interest are spirituality, philosophy, personal self-development, and history (depending on subject).
2. In this knowledge worker (thank you to the late Dr. Peter Drucker and Dr. Stephen Covey) and content creator age, do you think that the market is to overly saturated for another person to join in? This is what I struggle with all the time. Does the digital world need another spiritual/philosophical teacher even though I've been speaking and teaching in these areas for 30 years?
What say ye!
Hey friend, I appreciate the kind words. These principles apply to all categories of knowledge extraction. I myself work primarily with religion and philosophy as well and this has been highly effective for me to read texts that are otherwise more difficult to understand because I have a selection intent that allows me to scan for specific knowledge I'm after.
As far as market saturation, I don't believe this is an issue at all. People are hungry for knowledge in the attention economy. We are saturated in entertainment and there aren't enough people filtering out the noise with valuable, meaningful content. There is no competition in the creator economy - you are a personal monopoly because nobody else has your personality and unique way of communicating ideas.
“We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.” - E. O. Wilson
Thank you, great video! Question: is the list on the back of your main card the list of cards with one extracted and reformulated idea? How do you number these cards?
The list on the back of the source note is initial extracts that may or may not be made into main notes. As far as the numeric alpha system goes, I would have to make another video about that but you can simply start with something like 1.a, 1.a1, 1.b, 1.c, 2.a, etc. It is based on the notes relation to other notes.
Obsidian is very useful
Do the page numbers and notes on the back of the source note then relate and get expanded on in another main note
Yes they get referenced on main notes. This way you already have the citation of the idea you are expounding upon from the original source without having to flip through the book
You can use obsidian for your zettelkasten
I do. All my note cards get copied into obsidian and linked. I add the note card catalog ID in the metadata. Makes it easier to search my analog zettelkasten. I’ll make a video on it some time.
