Scott, you're spearheading a wonderful movement that I believe will elicit change.. and if youre not spearheading it, you're doing a damn good job at emphasizing the importance of intellectualism.
Another fabulous coaching session! I notice that with each coaching session, we are all a bit further along too! I think that my takeaway from this and Stacy's videos is to now create my broad topic interest list, then map them into the main index cards - staging my branches. Thankyou Idalis for holding your cards up to the camera :) and all the insightful questions you asked. I am not quite as far along my research journey, but my challenges in imagining how the system will work for me as my outputs will be similar. I'm still challenged by the transdisciplinary nature of my work - but trust it will all work out. The cross-linking is now where I'm trying to get my head around. I'm struggling with the idea of not backlinking: perhaps I don't quite understand what the word means.
I am starting my PhD next week and since i've always been more of an analog person, i'll give this method a try to keep up with all the papers and lectures. Thanks! 😊
It wont help with that. Its really just a creativity exercise making connections between blocks of thought. If you are using it for brainstorming then it can be great but also a little messy. Going through the process of creating the notes in our own words might help you with retention of the information but its time consuming. There are better less time consuming methods for information retention. the same questions you ask yourself when connecting the blocks of thought you can do with the zk system. its time consuming to setup also.
The best video, loved how this can work in an academic context. I am going to try the one step method for subjects that’s I am learning and need more development in the reformulation. Thanks, this was really useful. And thank you Idalis, you rock! Good luck in your PhD.
My own slip card box contains of very thin paper in the 3x5” format. In addition every note is labeled with a QR code. After removing a note from a cabinet it has to be scanned.. This has reduced the mess ...
My friend if you are reading these comments you should check this out. Its about processing empirical studies and separating the three layers of evidence to use in a zk system. For my database I've compiled for my research on brain computer interfaces I've been separating into 1) researchers/organizations 2)theory( theories addressed in the paper) 3) the methods or experiments they are using 4) the conclusions/practical applications 5) human trails vs non human trials/studies 6) you can also categorize your system based the studies based on broader terms like diseases or go into pubmed and look in the advanced search box in the drop down menu to get ideas
I'm confused about the bibliography card. Why does this card exist? I understand so far all that you have shown but the bibliography card always throughs me off. What part does it play in the whole Zettelkasten system?
While you read it's a place where you put quick notes and reminders to then review after you finish the book. When you then review them after you finish, you turn about half into fully developed main notes. The others you simply place references to the book. Here's a closer look st this: th-cam.com/video/b6jZH_6Siao/w-d-xo.html
@@ivideogameboss you don't want to spend time processing and creating full notecards of notes for every single thing you read and note down on the bibcard. You want to create external references to some things. Basically they are "For more on (concept name) see (Author Name), p. 56" I'll create a video at some point for it. These are called Exrefs.
@@scottscheper but once the bibcard is completed where is it inserted in the Zettelkasten? Among other main notes? Seprate box for bibcards? EDIT: In 1h48min you asked about the bibliography section and if it's ordered alphabetically - is it the answer to my query?

You don't need to understand backlinking. It's a made up term from digital Zettelkasten folks. It's a waste of time. 🙂

Share it on a video!
Yes please make it a video
Thanks Scott, thanks Idalis! With me, two sells and three Ph.D.!!!

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
do you have a video starting from reading or before extracting?
Yep. Just dig around.

@@scottscheper Oh now I get it! Thank you so much.
