Some things are meant to be. Two days ago I bumped into a short video about Zettlekasten. It basically outlined the types of cards. It instantly made sense to me, and it is so compatible with how I work. You tuck a 4x6 card in the book you are reading as you underline and make marginalia you note that on the back of the card. The basic information about the book goes on the front. I am recording the ISBN so that if I ever lose my marked up copy I can buy a replacement of the exact edition. You then wait a few days and transfer the items you feel will have lasting relevance onto cards of their own that will go into the permanent section grouped by topic.
I’ve only made twelve or so cards and my Crowhook lesson is hugely improved. It’s amazing. The only thing is now I want to reread everything to get it all into the box.
Darren does a good job of explaining things here.
