Epilogue

Zettelkasten: The Innovative Secret to Knowledge Management

Niklas Luhmann, one of the greatest sociologists of the 20th century, kept 90,000 pages of notes in Zettelkasten, a type of note box.
These notes formed the basis for his numerous theories and the writing of over 60 books and 400 papers.
Zettelkasten, a knowledge management technique that strengthens memory and generates new ideas by linking notes, has recently gained attention. It helps increase work productivity and efficiently manage information for people working in various fields such as researchers, IT developers, creators, and marketers.

Completely conquer Obsidian

Released in 2020, Obsidian is currently considered the third-generation note-taking app, following Evernote and Notion.
This book is aimed at beginners who are new to Obsidian, and includes detailed explanations of dozens of Obsidian features, as well as program installation and basic setup methods, so that anyone can easily use Obsidian.
The author also personally uses Obsidian plugins such as Dataview, Calendar, Custom Frames, and Readwise, which are core features of Obsidian and are similar to Chrome extensions, and introduces their effects and usage methods, allowing readers to try them out themselves.
Finally, we'll show you how to integrate ChatGPT, Zotero, and other tools with Obsidian for your work, and learn about the author's information management method for managing knowledge and information in Obsidian based on the PARA theory, which aims to improve productivity.

How to Organize Records to Attract Success

Among those who are considered great, including Leonardo da Vinci, Jeong Yak-yong, Einstein, and Bill Gates, there are many who have the habit of writing things down.
If you write down your brilliant ideas before they evaporate, you can look at them anytime, anywhere, and create new ideas you never thought of.
The author shows the process and method of creating temporary notes and literature notes in one's own language using the Zettelkasten memo method, using knowledge one has come up with on one's own or knowledge gained from books, YouTube, movies, etc., and then storing them as permanent notes.
If readers follow these guidelines to enrich their storehouse of ideas by filtering out only the necessary parts and building a sustainable knowledge management system, it will be a source of success.
