Getting Started with Zettelkasten

In this course we’ll cover the basics of what a Zettelkasten system is. How to take good notes, what tools to use and how to go about connecting notes in your system. I’ll walk you through my process for taking notes with online articles, videos and books.

My name is Curtis McHale. I’m a programmer and YouTube creator. I use this system to create my videos, research purchases and keep track of the 80+ books I read each year.
