Transitioning to Zettelkasten
Instead of using Supermemo as my knowledge base, I want to transition to using obsidian and the Zettelkasten method , while keeping supermemo around for incremental reading.
The difference between regular note-taking systems and a Zettelkasten is the emphasis on forming relationships. A Zettelkasten makes connecting and not collecting a priority. The difference between just a text and hypertext is that the former is linear and the latter is organic.
There are three components that each Zettel has:
A unique identifier. This gives your Zettel an unambiguous address.
The body of the Zettel. This is where you write down what you want to capture: The piece of knowledge.
References. At the bottom of each Zettel, you either reference the source of the knowledge you capture or leave it blank if you capture your own thoughts.
There's a plugin in [obsidian/|Obsidian] for that. moving forward I should probably just use that plugin to create the notes with a unique identifier. I'll leave my existing notes untouched for now.
