- zettlekasten is a german word meaning "slip box".
- zettlekasten is a note taking system. it was popularized by sonkhe ahrens' "how to take smart notes" by documenting the way that niklas luhmann was able to use the original zettlekasten method to write so prolificly.
- the original zettlekastens were card files consisting of small pieces of information stored on note cards kept in card filing cabinets.
- these small pieces of information are called zettles.
- zettles are usually linked together by ids/references to create a mental network of information.
- card files were eventually used as inspiration for hyperlink-based personal knowledge management software.
- after completing a note, the idea is to put it away in the slip boxes for safekeeping.
