Thanks Doctor Andus for the reference to Christian’s blog. I’m familiar with the history of Zettelkasten from reading Dr. Kuhn’s blog. The approach appeals to me, even to the point of doing it the old fashioned way - longhand and on index cards. Gradually I’ve been learning to implement it in my own haphazard way.

Christian’s discussion of Zettelkasten on a few of his posts which I have just read is both helpful and encouraging.

I appreciate the recognition that the process is not simply a means to a specific, predefined output, but also is an end in itself or, rather, a means to other ends which reveal themselves in the interaction or conversation with the Zettelkasen over time and as a function of the growing store of information.
