My Zettelkasten Workflow

I shared this with my newsletter crew a few months ago, but it’s time to make an official entry on the internet about my Zettelkasten workflow. And before we get much further, I need to state for the record that this is how I’m using the Zettelkasten system. It definitely will not be the way other people use it.

To me, that’s the point, though. Sure, you could take tons of time to learn a special system, and then mold your thinking around it. You could focus more on the structure of what worked for someone else instead of what you need.

BUT WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

Instead, consider this post a permission slip to do whatever the hell you want and to modify existing methods and systems to work for you. Plus, until you have one metric fuckton of slips or cards, the full-on Zettelkasten system won’t really apply to you.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Before I get into showing my workflow or a Zettelkasten method example, we need to talk about what the system is.
