@ton Neat. I'm also trying out Zettelkästen, and I've found it useful in terms of improving my understanding as I read around a given topic. Atomizing concepts and explicitly looking for connections is a great way to clarify one's thinking (and it would still be powerful even if I were to throw the notes in the bin afterwards).
