Digital Zettelkasten

Interesting primer but nothing that was earth-shattering. I liked the fact the book was short and didn't waste my time repeating stuff but also this could have really just been a longer Youtube video. Also not sure if it's because I've gone deep down the personal knowledge management rabbithole? That being said, give it a quick flick but kinda mid energy here. Tempted to give 2 stars but I'm feeling good today so 3 it is.

I finished it in an afternoon. That speaks to its length, not my ambition.

It's what it looks like on the box, and it does it pretty darn well. It just doesn't do much more than that. It could easily be a YouTube video, and feels like it was written to avoid competition. Kudos to the author, it worked... I ain't complaining. It's just not a highly intellectual deep dive into Obsidian note taking. It's intellectual, and it explores zettelkasten in Obsidian very well, but at the end of the day, that's what it does. Having seen enough YouTube videos on the same topic, it didn't provide much new. It only made me think deeper into the ideas presented. Books have a magical ability to do that. Respect.

Short, to the point, delivers what it promises: finally a concrete and complete example of implementation of a ZK!

A solid accompanying read to “How to take smart notes”.

Very nice summary of the mindset and philosophy of the zettelkasten system. The target audience appears to be someone who is early in their note taking, has heard of zettelkasten, and wants more inspiration.
