## Zettelkasten Setup (Analog) - The [[Zettelkasten | zettelkasten]] setup is analog-based, using only physical artifacts, and may not be suitable for those who prefer digital tools [(00:00:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=9s). - The setup generates a large number of notes, including literature notes, fleeting notes, and permanent notes [(00:00:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=45s). - Two different notebooks are used for fleeting notes: a Luketrum 1917 A5 soft cover with ruled pages and a Luketrum 1917 A6 soft cover with plain pages [(00:00:55)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=55s). - The A5 notebook serves as a daily bullet journal for to-do lists, meeting notes, and capturing fleeting notes, while the A6 notebook is used as an idea repository and is carried everywhere [(00:01:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=69s). ## Notebooks for Fleeting Notes - The A6 notebook is used to capture ideas that come at unexpected times, and it is small enough to be carried in a back pocket [(00:01:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=112s). - Two pens are used: the Ti Arto by Big Idea Design, which is made of titanium and has a clutch mechanism that allows for 750 different refills, and the diminutive Griffel Number One by Luketrum 1917, which is small and made of milled aluminum and brass [(00:02:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=139s). - The Ti Arto is the everyday carry pen and has been used with various inks and line widths without any issues [(00:02:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=150s). - The Griffel Number One is used with the A6 notebook and is small enough to be carried with it [(00:03:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=197s). - A pen with a spring mechanism is used, which originally came with a 0.5 millimeter Parker style cartridge, but was later replaced with a 0.37 millimeter cartridge for better performance [(00:03:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=216s). - The pen is used in conjunction with an A6 notebook, which works well together [(00:03:55)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=235s). ## Notebook for Literature Notes - A Luke Trim 1917 A5 hardcover notebook with ruled pages is used for capturing literature notes, and is kept with the book being read at the time [(00:04:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=243s). - Literature notes can include concepts, ideas, observations, and arguments from the reading material [(00:04:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=273s). - The A5 hardcover notebook is used strictly for literature notes and does not serve any other purpose [(00:04:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=282s). - Physical books are preferred over digital ones, and the notebook is always kept with the book being read [(00:04:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=292s). ## Permanent Notes - Four by six inch ruled white note cards are used for permanent notes, which can accommodate bibliographical references, links, annotations, and other information [(00:05:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=303s). - The 4x6 inch size is preferred because it forces focus and discipline when writing notes, and is small enough to be easily sorted and flipped through [(00:05:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=307s). - High-quality heavy card stock was initially used, but was later replaced with inexpensive note cards due to their rigidity and the cost of mistakes [(00:05:39)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=339s). ## Dividers and Storage - Four by six inch unruled blue note cards are used as dividers between sections in the [[Zettelkasten]], and are inexpensive and functional [(00:06:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=367s). - A simple cardboard note box designed to hold 4x6 cards is used for storage, which can hold a good three to four years' worth of notes [(00:06:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=386s). ## Closing Remarks - A request is made for viewers to like the content, subscribe, and acknowledge the standard procedure of these actions [(00:07:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=427s). - Appreciation is expressed for the audience's time, and affection is conveyed to each viewer [(00:07:11)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=431s). - A closing message is given, thanking the viewers and bidding farewell until the next video [(00:07:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8&t=436s). ## Sources - [website](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1j1H9HgOw8)
