Zettelkasten is German for "slip box" or "note box".
A method used by sociologist Niklas Luhmann. He wrote 70 books and over 400 academic papers using this system.
When small notes connect, new ideas emerge. It's network thinking rather than linear thinking.
A digital garden can be seen as a public version of Zettelkasten.
