I have read a lot about Zettelkasten but I am afraid that I am going to quit after a month and not sure exactly what I am going with all the notes. Though I read a lot of books and I am pretty sure the method is useful. I am just not very sure how to start. Would be very interested to have some feedback about successful Zettelkasten uses ! Thanks a lot.
I have mixed feelings.<p>I have been keeping and growing my Zettelkasten with Obsidian for about a year now. I can't say that it have been extremely useful, in terms of the work I produce, but that is clearly my own fault. I do expect that at some point I will start producing more writings from my Zettelkasten.<p>Meanwhile, I suggest you don't get discouraged. Start simple. Download Obsidian (obsidian.md) and start making notes. I like to keep the following format:<p>"""
