Did you mean to leave a footnote to Luhmann's Zettelkasten system?

I had never heard of it, but I found this article about it: https://medium.com/emvi/luhmanns-zettelkasten-a-productivity...

The book 'how to write smart notes' is a great writeup un that topic.

This post is quite good aswell: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NfdHG6oHBJ8Qxc26s/the-zettel...

That's the article I first read about it in. It's great, it really has the main ideas and how to implement it in a paper card system. The "How to Write Smart Notes" book is also great and a short read. It can get a little too pop-pyschology-esque in some parts for me (I just skimmed over those parts), but it is probably the most thorough writeup on Luhmann's system in English.
