Learn Zettelkasten by Example #1: The Collector's Fallacy	2022-06-03	2022-06-03

Intro Blurb

I've talked a lot about how posts/zettelkasten-shouldnt-be-complicated-but-it-is but I've never dove deeper into exactly how I use Zettelkasten to take notes. In order to notes/lead by example, every week, I will read an article and posts/simplest-way-to-use-zettelkasten-for-note-management. Hopefully, this process can give you ideas about how to improve your Zettelkasten workflow. Also, feel free to suggest articles you want me to read next week.

My Notes

Article Link: https://zettelkasten.de/posts/collectors-fallacy/

• I collect things mainly because of notes/loss aversion I don't want to potentially lose some knowledge I find meaningful
• merging content, information, ideas, and thoughts and processing it is what integrates knowledge into our brain notes/connecting ideas is powerful
• bookmarking is great for navigation when you want to revisit something but is NOT good for learning notes/photocopying items doesnt help with learning
• I don't really get the reward like these doves. For me it's just an unnecessary step.
• I don't think reading is pointless without note taking. It still helps us but the portion of information we absorb is a lot less.
• first step to conquering notes/collectors fallacy is to realize that collecting notes does not increase knowledge
• notes/brain is better with small cycles of info
