I'd love to see a video detailing the note sequencing and indexing process. I've seen another video of yours in which you show it (I think), but I'd be very interested to see how it works setting it up from scratch. Or setting up the entire system from scratch, that is
Ahrens said that we have three kind of notes: fleeting, literature, and permanent. After few chapters he released: 1.Fleeting notes, 2.Permanent notes (including Literature notes and Permanent notes), 3. Project notes. So all the youtubers started getting confused by Ahrens terms, then everyone started interpreting it in their own way and making zettelkasten different from the one Ahrens was using. In the end, the reader of Ahrens's book is the first victim, the second victim is the TH-cam viewer. Personally, I am a victim of both.
These kinds of videos are very helpful! However, I'm still not understanding what exactly an index is. I understand what its meant to accomplish, but you said not to pigeonhole notes into broad categories or topics (the example given was writing), but then you said that 'writing' can be a sort of placeholder link? Can you explain that concept a bit more? I may just need a visual of some kind because I'm having a hard time understanding how indexes come about organically. I'd also love to see something on sequencing notes. I've made several notes here and there but I have a really hard time placing them in any kind of sequence or branching tree
By placeholder link, I mean you would just make a link to a note for "Writing" but not actually make that note until you have a handful of links to it. Then that topic becomes an index that has a list of links to top level ideas that branch off into sequences. The index is an entrypoint into the zettelkasten, you don't need to index every note, just the top level ideas, then you browse the related notes from there. I did a video on this here th-cam.com/video/_8dh0Ap7Jnc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cMd9X_IlFoKYPfTx

I think the limitation should be how much you can see without scrolling (let's say one or two "scrolls" if you have some images) or on hover card.
@@anndrew_gi yes I agree this is a feasible way to impose a limitation without obsessively checking word count. I like it!
this video is incredibly helpful 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
All the problem came from Ahrens' terms. That's all
Also the fact that what makes a zettelkasten is the limitations of the analog box
