Beautifully composed visual explanation to Zettelkasten from @e_thomas_v. Lots of insights. Only 11 minutes. Many best practice concepts from Zettelkasten that can be mapped to Roam, without having to do Zettelkasten.



@RoamResearch #roamcult #roamosphere
Zettelkasten - Position of the note in the slipbox is not important

Roam: don't worry too much about a top down structure. Just make sure to create references (tags, page links) to other notes, or providing context of the current note
Zettelkasten - Quality comes from the network of links between notes, not necessarily the content of the note.

Roam: Big picture is to insure unexpected insights through the network. We don't know yet what we don't know, just know that you don't know & eventually you will know.
Zettelkasten - references are breadcrumbs that we can follow 20 years from now that assures we can still find something, even if our perspective has changed.

Roam: be believer, don't worry about what you can do and cant do today, build your graph for future self.
Wiki confusion: Linked refs are not wiki links. They are a combination/collective elevating them to another level. Look for references which are unexpected. Think of problems that connect disparate thoughts.

Roam: don't see Roam as a wiki. We are creating connections, not links
Goal for myself: Fight desire to have the "perfect system". Better to use & iterate in improvements, rather than wait for perfect system. And is there a perfect system? [[Agile Note Taking]]?? - sprint, test, iterate

Open organization: disorder with consistent internal structure
Another goal: My graph is a communication partner (not just a notes tool), seek relations by thinking of problems & questions that connect ideas & arguments that have no straightforward/obvious relation. It creates combinations of ideas that were never planned or preconceived.
