HI Sönke, just watched your presentation at NEWCRAFTS Conferences. https://vimeo.com/275530205. Very informative. I've read your book and it lead me to Christian and Sascha's forum. Excited and thrilled at this new to me style of note-taking. You mentioned in the presentation that you were using a piece of software a college make to be used as a Zettelkasten. Is it available to the public?

Sönke Ahrens Yes, it is! http://zettelkasten.danielluedecke.de...

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it works for me and I am not aware of any other software which resembles Luhmann's system as close as this one. Having said that, I feel there is a lot of interesting tinkering going on at the moment and it's worth keeping an eye open for new solutions. (less)

I appreciate what you have written regarding smart notes. It gives voice to so many aspects of note taking that I support. I realize tools can foster an endless conversation but there are other free and modestly priced tools you may also want to consider. BibDesk is a very good free reference manager & "The Archive (http://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/) is a nice implementation of the Zettelkasten Method -20.00 USD)?

There are more and more software solutions available, all with different advantages and for different needs. They are all far from perfect, though. I very much hope that in increasing interest in the Zettelkasten-method will lead to a healthy competition on new software (ideally free, open-source, platform independent and extremely simple).

Quotes by Sönke Ahrens (?)

“Learning, thinking, and writing should not be about accumulating knowledge, but about becoming a different person with a different way of thinking. This is done by questioning one’s own thinking routines in light of new experiences and facts.”
― Sönke Ahrens, How to Take Smart Notes

“The most important advantage of writing is that it helps us confront ourselves when we do not understand something as well as we would like to believe.”

“The real enemy of independent thinking is not an external authority, but our own inertia. The ability to generate new ideas has more to do with breaking with old habits of thinking than with coming up with as many ideas as possible.”
