“One cannot think without writing.”
– Niklas Luhmann, sociologist
A blank piece of paper or an empty text document. A blinking cursor. An approaching deadline. Panic!
Every student, academic, lecturer—in short, anyone who writes or gives talks—has experienced this terror. However, the writing process doesn't begin with a blank page, but with the right preparation. The good news is that the smart notes method will not only make your preparation and writing faster and more enjoyable, but it will also help with your learning and creativity.
Welcome to the world of Zettelkasten! We owe this now-legendary method, around which a passionate global community has formed, to the sociologist Niklas Luhmann. He created a simple, yet complex and interconnected way to store notes taken from reading, as well as from lectures, courses, podcasts or webinars. With the Zettelkasten technique, you're not just creating a repository for thoughts and knowledge, but above all, you're gaining a space in which to think. Mastering it will also help you combine notes, make connections, and see things in ways you would never have thought of otherwise. And all this with much less effort than you ever imagined.
In the book, you will learn, among other things:
Why you should always read with a pen in hand.
What exactly separates successful writing strategies from unsuccessful ones.
That you don't need to create a complex system or reorganise everything you already have.
What fleeting, literature, and permanent notes are, and how to sort and store them.
That you can choose from a wide range of options to set up a Zettelkasten—from index cards to apps.
“You can trust a good system. It frees you from the need to remember everything, keep track of everything, and store every piece of information in your head. This allows you to focus only on what's important—the content, the arguments, and the ideas.”
