I've been trying to get into Zettelkasten for a long time and it just hasn't really clicked. Until yesterday, hopeful it sticks. I've downloaded almost all the note apps and tried different strategies, but Evergreen Notes https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes makes sense to my brain. There's two things that click for me.

  1. Notes are like APIs https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_note_titles_are_like_APIs
  2. Notes should be complete phrases https://notes.andymatuschak.org/zLhoRUyjKU665EY16u4XXJy

It's especially point two. I write in phrases and linking doesn't become this daunting task. Usually I would try to understand information by summarizing, but those links help a ton and really allow me to see how it connects to other ideas. Map of contents can help to eventually go back and put into larger concepts. Also I use Obsidian and have been for a while.
