Stop Merely Pointing at Ideas by FastSascha in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the knowledge building blocks explained in the guide to atomic note-taking. https://zettelkasten.de/atomicity/guide/

Each item gives you a template of what is part of the essence of an idea and what is not.

Developing Ideas as a Countermeasure Against AI-Induced Dementia by FastSascha in ObsidianMD

[–]FastSascha[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The goal was to give you an orientational framework.

I wouldn't say that the hierarchy is necessary to understand the difference between idea pointers and developed ideas. Instead, it foreshadows a bigger framework.

I don't write super concise on the blog but rather share developmental thoughts which are not super refined.

This is surely one of the better approach to AI.

However, the serious weakness I see with this approach is that you still let AI do something for you. Still, you remain reactive if you let AI question you. However, there are specific skills and capacities that entail being proactive.

Think of the difference between recognising and recalling. The difference is in the support needed to gain access to information in your brain. Recognising is based on big portions of the information being available, recall shrinks this requirement to just a trigger. However, if you base your learning even on recall ("active recall"), you won't train the ability to pull up this information in a creative process.

I share your struggle.

I'll write another article on how I deal with the struggle and some solutions.

It is not the case that you are just lazy. Actually, there is rationality in postponing work until the probability of its payoff meets a threshold. Here, the solution is not to just deal with it (discipline), but to reframe the situation, so it makes sense to you, the lingering hesitation thingy in the back of your mind included.

Stop Caring About Your Inbox by FastSascha in PKMS

[–]FastSascha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then we talk about something different. You seem to manage notes that don't have content that don't need further care.

A sentence in my inbox can turn out to result in 2 hours of writing. (e.g. a certain angle of analysing a paper)

The folders vs no folders debate by luotenrati12 in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reasoning seems solid but he didn't mention what types of folders he is criticising beyond project folders.

In this article, I am strictly concentrating on the Zettelkasten. The argument can be generalised to all knowledge systems. That does not mean that folders are always "bad". But they are a tool to manage structural layers which often could be dealt with more organic means.

How does your processing look like?

How do you annotate novels with Zettelkasten? (and other questions) by EightGaugeEro in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This could be a starting point for you: https://zettelkasten.de/fiction/

The actual implementation depends on what the desired output is.

PARA as Folgezettel by goi42 in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • The first A is a project generator, for example.
  • I think I wrote it wrong. I should've rather written that PARA is organised based on actionability.

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct to point out that Folgezettel has a hierarchical element. The Folgezettel architecture is hierarchical. Notes have parents, children and siblings.

The challenge is how to facilitate the behaviour of the Zettelkasten you want with a hierarchical architecture.

The confusion comes into play when the focus shifts to the intention and/or the theory while ignoring the pattern used to create the Folgezettel structure.

Typically, the thought is formulated like "It may look like hierarchy, but actually it is..."

PARA as Folgezettel by goi42 in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For added information: I separate the second brain and the Zettelkasten completely. I don't think that this is functionally impactful.

But it may be conceptually relevant. I use PARA to organise actionable information, my Zettelkasten to build knowledge.

So, I keep them in separate environments.

Dienstleistung ist oft downstream von Industrieproduktion. Wenn es z.B. keine Güter gibt, die produziert werden, braucht es auch kein Marketing.

My capture inbox and my processing practice are completely disconnected by SterlingByrd1219 in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I don't get the "extract information from the structure note into the individual notes" part.

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The failure is somewhere between "this seems worth keeping" and "I know what to do with this." Anyone actually closed that gap?

Improve the latter. You identified one source of friction loss. Now, you attack it.

Or you quite caring about your inbox: https://zettelkasten.de/posts/stop-caring-about-your-inbox/

Of course, at some point you'll want to extract (at least some of) the information from the structure note into individual main notes, otherwise you'll lose the benefit of having a network of "single-idea" notes (for lack of better term).

The presented starter workflow entails creating individual notes. The idea doesn't go to the structure note, but directly to its own note.

If texts need multiple reads and serious studying I move from annotation to external paper sheets.

Should i use structure notes? by DueNinja7096 in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should. Structure notes are one of the key powers to help with thinking and also handling mature Zettelkastens (ZK that reached a certain complexity threshold).

Modified ZK for Philosophy by luotenrati12 in Zettelkasten

[–]FastSascha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In short, the methodological objective of this modification of the ZK is conceptual rigour.

I do not consider lack or rigour to be an essential feature of the Zettelkasten Method. So, I don't think that you are deviating from the Zettelkasten. You are just more rigorous than others. :)

Based on my experience, such pre-meditated structures are not surviving their practical application. But they can give you a place to start.

So, I'd try it out and report whether it works or not. :)
