Zettlekasten
Invented by Nicholas Lumen, this is a knowledge management system that has gained popularity in recent years due to How to Take Smart Notes (which I haven’t read.)
It’s a series of small notes ( [[ Notes-Should-Be-Atomic ]]) linked together. Lumen used index cards and created a network of interconnected notes, using an alphanumeric system to get paths and see clusters of thought.
Strictly, this is not a Zettlekasten, it is a wiki. But the principles have helped me to design it. And you need to avoid Tool-Fundamentalism anyway.
It’s also important to avoid the Collectors-Fallacy.
