Description
Earlier this year, I came across a strategy that dramatically changed how I research and write articles and books. It’s called the Zettelkasten or Slipbox. This form of research and note-taking was popularised, at least in Germany, by sociologist and author Niklas Lumen.(Fun fact: Lumen used the Slipbox or Zettelkasten method of research to write and publish over 70 books).Basically, it involves writing a web of thought around your ideas, research, and readings. I write five to ten entries a day in my personal Slipbox, which is a little like journaling. Fear not: creating a Slipbox is relatively easy providing you follow a few simple rules.Create a single entry per ideaLink your entries to each otherUse descriptive headings Categorize your entriesThere’s a little bit more to it than that. So, in this week’s interview, Sascha Fast explains:What a Slipbox is and how to use one for writingHow to get started creating your SlipboxWhy a Slipbox is ideal for non-fiction writers How he’s using a Slipbox to research 70-YES 70!- booksThe tools you need to create oneResourcesEvernoteDay One UlyssesArchiveLike the show?
