How To Template Zettelkasten In Obsidian 📝 + Practical Note-Taking

Video Description

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. This video is part 2 of Molecular Zettelkasten: Templating Zettelkasten in Obsidian 📝 In this video, I get into the practical steps of templating my Molecular Zettelkasten system in Obsidian so that you can see how the system is set up from scratch: Literature Notes, Source Notes, Permanent Notes, and my new note type of Publishable Notes. I also walk through a few examples on how to take information from source notes, distill them into the different Zettelkasten note types, and nest them into note sequences for publishing. In Part 1, I talked about the theory of why Zettelkasten works as a note-taking system to help us reduce information overload while building a knowledge base: https://youtu.be/00LKsV8h6zY Using this modified Zettelkasten - Molecular Zettelkasten - has helped me publish over 150,000 words, or ~3 non-fiction books' worth of published writing in the last year 🤯 In this video, I walk through how I approach building publishable notes out of my atoms (literature notes) and molecules (permanent notes). A zip folder of this templated system is available for my YouTube members 🫡 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFiU1vIpPD3lQltke_18m3A/join Molecular Zettelkasten is an incredible way to keep external knowledge separate from internal ideas, helping augment my personal knowledge management system. If you want to learn more about what Zettelkasten is and why it works, I recommend checking out Part 1, which was both an intro & deep dive to the Zettelkasten Note-Taking Method by Niklas Luhmann. I hope you enjoy! ✨ P.S.
