Zettelkasten

A [personal-knowledge-management] process.

The core of the process revolves around two collections of notes - Reference Notes which summarise source material and include a link to the source, and the collection of evergreen notes which are written in the interpretive part of the process.

The 20th-century German sociologist [niklas-luhmann] managed to publish 70 books. He credits much of his success to his Zettelkasten, or "slip box."
