Zettlekasten is a Note Taking style.

Criticism

Some1 have criticized modern implementations of the Zettelkasten system, noting that they become large unwieldly wikis that are not suited for writing or thought. I find this criticism lacking because even if the person is not using Zettlekasten in it’s desired fashion, it is still a useful way to organize thoughts and information. Personally, I find the ability to bring context into different nodes helpful for spurring thoughts.
