دانلود کتاب چگونه یادداشت هوشمند برداریم – یک تکنیک ساده برای تقویت نوشتن، یادگیری و تفکر

A lot has happened since this book was first published in 2017. Most importantly: it found its audience. I discovered to my delight that I was not alone in finding the interconnected, decentralized, bottom-up approach of the Zettelkasten much more natural to work with than the linear, top-down approaches most of us learned in school and which are still baked into the majority of writing and note-taking tools. Now, four years later, after the rise of a new generation of digital tools that enable bi-directional linking and the establishment of a growing community of note-taking enthusiasts, the idea of the Zettelkasten has spread across disciplines, professions and language borders. With the rapidly changing landscape of available tools, I decided to keep the book as tool-agnostic as possible and stick with the example of Luhmann’s paper-based Zettelkasten. Software can make things considerably easier and it is exciting to explore their features. But it also brings the risk of losing sight of what is most important and drawing us into a game of catch-up with the latest development. Books on note-taking have a different life cycle and should focus on the more timeless aspects of the topic – that’s their advantage. The audiobook and most of the translations are already based on this revised edition of 2022, which you hold in your hand. There are a few changes compared to the original 2017 edition. Firstly, I corrected a few mistakes some observant readers pointed out to me. In one case, I had a metaphor from chemistry wrong; in the other case, I embarrassingly repeated a story about pencils in space without realizing that it was debunked as an urban myth long ago. Thanks to everyone who wrote to me kindly and pointed that out! Along with some typos, there is actually a third small factual mistake I corrected, but as nobody has noticed it yet, let’s pretend there was none. Secondly, I added a small appendix, which I hope will give you a better idea of what Luhmann’s Zettelkasten looked like and what is crucial to keep in mind when we use digital tools. The last addition is a table I often use in talks and which gives you an overview of the main differences between this approach and the traditional way of writing and note-taking.
