Looking for a better method to take notes? Introducing Zettelkasten.

Zettelkasten (German for slip box) is a note taking and management system popularized by Niklas Luhman. The system, in tactile form, makes extensive use of index cards for the taking of and organization of notes but can be managed easier within a digital system.

In this episode, Kyle and Mark discuss their methods and results in utilizing this new way of taking notes. Find out in this episode of The Productivity Lab.
