This is IT!! I’ve searched for how to start Zettlekasten on Notion so hard until I see this video, you just simply explained everything I need to know how to start! Thank you so much for this GREAT Video

Hey Martin! Amar here from India Excellent Video on building zettelkasten in Notion. I am very much interested in understanding the details of how to import information from a book/ article and converting into information in a systematic manner. Also, the book "How to take smart notes" is mainly influenced by zettelkasten but not really the original zettelkasten. Do check Niklas Luhmann's note "Communicating with slip boxes" for a far deeper understanding of the same. Kudos to you again!

I really appreciate your videos. Your pace, articulation and relevance is great. Much helpful and insightful.

Thank you so much for your logical and simple introduction. I just started both Zettelkasten and Notion. Your video hit two birds in one for me. You saved me a lot of time and gave me a great boost for my start.

Great content as always Martin. Zettelkasten is really hard to grasp at first because it is so abstract and we are used to all kinds of structure. Your explanations and workflow examples really help clarify it. Also tech joke here, most Zettelkasten Notes are very SOLID (Every note should have a Single Responsibility (idea/topic), should be open for extension but closed for modification (linking to other notes, even though the closed part isn't really appropriate here.) And maybe the Interfaces can be the maps of content xD

Thanks! This is a great tutorial. This Boomer now has a digital Zettelkasten.

It is a bit long video, but so helpful. Step by step and clear explanation, with a good practical sample. Thank you Martin.

Thank you for this video. I have long been searching for a video with an efficient method with notion

I've watched numerous videos on creating a Zettelkasten in Notion, and this is the best one by far. Great content Martin.

Thanks a million, Martin for teaching me how to take the first step right!

You rock! Of course this is the first video I opened when searching for "notion zettelkasten" :)

What an amazing video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I could not quite figure out how to make the Zettelkasten system work for me, but this video really helped me understand how I can personalize it. Thanks so much!

I love this. Simple and clear... Thanks Man

This is the best Zettelkasten notion template. Thank you so much.

Love it! I'm struggling to create a setup that works for me related to interests and things I read and this is going to be really helpful

This has been SUPER helpful!! Thank you!

Excellent video. Thank you for posting this, extremely helpful

This is really helpful.Thank you. I have watched this twice so far

Amazing video! Thanks for explaining so clearly :)

Thank you for sharing! The question view could really help me in reflecting

GREAT video Martin, thank you and keep up the good work!

I just started watching, but it's very informative. I like the way you explain!

Thanks so much for this!!

I have about 4,000 notes I imported into Notion from Evernote. I will be interested to see if I can start organizing them using this method. I'm concerned that Notion's global search does NOT search inside databases (at least I don't think it does), so either all notes go into the database so you can use the database search, or nothing. I'm also a little concerned that notes will get list, but the "Ready to Process" and the "Question" tags are pretty genius! I find that in researching Issue A, questions about currently irrelevant Issue B & C pop into my head. If these questions are not written down at that moment, they are "lost" until the right context comes up again.

Good job Martin.

Loved the video!

Great content! Thanks for this

It's very insightful

Incredible video!

Very good video... Thanks

I love this digital version of the Zettelkasten! What I'd love is for the Map of Content to be an automated process rather than something I have to manually add. Wonder if tags would work.. 🤔

Just want to say a massive thanks for taking the time to upload this video. As a creator myself, having a place to link all my ideas and actually think about them while keeping it organised is no easy task. This system is working brilliantly for me 🚀

Trying having 1000+ notes with images etc and see what a stutter notion becomes

I like this video very much. Thanks for the great content! Just curious, what kind of software did you use to record the screen? Did you record the screen and yourself separately? Thanks :)

Thanks this is great! Do you have this template available somewhere?

Can this method keep track of the parent and child zettels like Luhmen's? Can you draw any graphs with links? How can you view the connections in a higher level?

Hi Martin, thaks for your videos, why would you make a video about notion if you are building your own app? the same goes with Obsidian, thanks

This seemed incoherent to me. The presentation would have been more focused had there been some end in mind. Luhman didn't take notes just to occupy time. He had a dissertation in mind. If this demonstration had some goal such as a blog post then everything would have hung together better. Otherwise each step just seemed pointless. I guess what is missing is the "why?" Why this note-taking method better? What is to be gained? Why does it work so well? No one, including Luhman, has explained it well.

Why don't you use Obsidian? It's better than Notion.

This is too much work. Workflowy is so much more intuitive for zettlekasten
