Zettelkasten Coaching Session in Obsidian
Watch me help my mom rewrite one of her Obsidian-based zettelkasten notes so that it is useable and findable. This real-time coaching session shows how I structure notes in a zettelkasten system, with an example of integrating fiction into academic research. As my mom prepares for her PhD program, we work through the practical steps of transforming vague notes into structured, interconnected ideas to enhance her research process. Topic covered: ✍️ Organizing research notes effectively ✍️ Connecting fiction examples to academic concepts ✍️ Building a functional zettelkasten in Obsidian ✍️ Note-taking for PhD research ✍️ Finding your notes when you need them
Should you limit connections in a zettelkasten?
Another viewer Obsidian/zettelkasten question from Instagram! This time - how many connections is too many? Can connections just clutter up your zettelkasten (regardless of where it is housed)? Well, ultimately, my answer is no - you shouldn't limit your connections out of fear of clutter. But you should also ensure that your connections are strong and your notes are irreducible thoughts. Do you have a question about the zettelkasten system? Let me know in the comments and maybe I'll make a video about it!
