Faded green cover of a book entitled The Card System at the Office by J. Kaiser.

This book from 1908 by J. Kaiser seems like a fantastic instruction manual for how to use Obsidian, Logseq, Notion, Evernote, OneNote, and most other note taking tools for just about any application.

@chrisaldrich yes, the author is amusingly opinionated. Just one example: “As to the supposed disadvantage in not having the cards bound together like the leaves of a book, this can hardly be taken seriously.” Well, I found it amusing anyway 🤓

@eumrz if you like this, you might also enjoy Byles, R. B., 1911. The card index system: its principles, uses, operation, and component parts London: Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons. I’ve written recently about both of them: The card index system is a thing alive.

@chrisaldrich I just saw a bit about how useful Obsidian (or another note-taking app) was, and was thinking about giving it a try, so this will be very useful. Thanks!

@chrisaldrich That's so cool! Skimming through it has already given me a few ideas. 💡
