“Creative process, not a production pipeline.” Simply stated, gets to the core of which I constantly need to remind myself. Thanks!

Guys this guys content is very highly thought. He is not copying anyone. He is sharing what he learns and applies. Don't care about sponsors (rn at least) so very unique and very helpful. I am watching his all videos for last 2 days. Gonna finish them up soon. So even he doesn't know he is a friend of me rn :) (not bidirectional friendship or linking tho)
@stevenewbank
Subscribed on the strength of this video. The workflow between Zotero and Obsidian was particularly helpful.
@JeffreysDharma
I really enjoy your content and your approach to Zettelkasten/Obsidian! I would love more insight into your own student workflow (class notes, textbooks, etc). As a student, I've personally found it difficult to integrate Obsidian in my university coursework. Thanks again!
@joshallison153
Great video Artem. I especially like your point on not "having to do x" at the end. I feel like a lot of people in PKM/Zettelkasten get caught up feeling like they have to make lit notes, have to extract to idea note etc. We need to remember the function of these tools in the wider context. I'd like to see the post-processing video you've been hinting at making. Cheers.

Im a posgraduate student of psichobiology and your video just helped me to organize and make structure of my mind and to motivate me in working on my thesis and future projects. Greetings from Mexico 🥺Thank you
@Haze_Loto
It's a creative process and work with the flow. That is the best advice I have heard after many Zettelkasten workflow videos. Thank you 😃
@michaelruderman6544
Thanks Artem for the post. I wonder if you, or anyone else, could comment on relative advantages/disadvantages of the workflow you describe in this video versus the following: 1. Read source in pdf format. 2. As you're reading, highlight quote or passage of interest. 3. Write a note (embedded in the highlighted content) in your own words processing the content. 4. Extract the annotated highlights and your processed notes using the Zotero plugin Zotfile. 5. Once extracted, export the final Zotfile note as a "create full markdown file" (with both metadata and extractions) into your Obsidian reference folder via the Mdnotes Zotero. 6. The result is an Obsidian metadata note with the citekey as the title, followed by all your highlights and process notes in one markdown file, ready for processing into permanent notes. I 'm just setting up my system, thanks to your excellent simple Zettelkast in Obsidian video....but this part is driving me crazy. I'm worried their are major ramifications either way that I can't see right now. If you or any of your subscribers have experience with these relative options, I would be very grateful for your insight.

@Artem Kirsanov your video is very helpful. I also like Vicky Zhao's "[Obsidian Template] for Zetelkasten Note Taking". I am about to set up my own Zotero / Obsidian setup and your video convinced me to get off the fence. Thank you. In addition to transferring to Obsidian; Zotero can write out a bibliography or reference list in numerous academic styles including those of several journals. Zotero can also connect to a writing tool such as MS Word and handle footnotes in a variety of styles. Bibliography/Reference List -- problem solved! Love it. BTW as a bonus, one could create an inventory of the books one personally owns in hard copy, Kindle or PDF just with a folder or tag. That's just a simple subset. Likewise Obsidian as you mentioned can serve as a personal reading journal or using time stamped notes can serve as a lab notebook -- if one needs a lab notebook for patent purposes one could sync it with GitHub. One can organize code snippets and keep them in context!

I have been copying and pasting references like a digital caveman. Thank you so much for this video!
@MaxCuberful
Another great video, Artem! Always great to see people doing the same type of work with similar workflows, the difference being that I am a linguist and use org-roam. Would really like to see how you use Anki and how you decide what kind of information should go into a card. This is where I'm struggling because I never know if I want to remember something.
@handtattoos6901
Hey just gotta say that your section on taking literature notes has really helped me come up with how I implement my own Zettelkasten system. I've struggled for about 2 years now understanding the relationships between fleeting notes, literature notes and permanent notes. Almost always I only wrote what I considered literature notes--basically reading the source and then in my own words writing down key points and ideas. But anytime I actually came up with an idea, I never made it a permanent note because I always thought permanent notes needed to be original thoughts and ideas; except I always knew where my ideas came from and they're from one of the thousands of "literature notes" I've been taking. Nothing ever really feels truly "original" in my mind. Like my ideas around habit formation are almost 95% sourced from Atomic Habits, so are these really my ideas are they James Clear's? I wish I knew earlier that an "original" idea is actually more curation than creation. I don't use Obsidian and instead have a Frankenstein of a Notion system I like to use, but I wanted to share that you really helped fixed a gigantic problem I've been struggling to solve for many years!
@lms5787
In case anyone's reading this, you need to create the Literature/Reading notes folder manually. The plugin won't do it for you. It still works, but if you get an error message when you try to insert a literature note, this is what that means.
@wanqingtai1490
Hi, Artem.You are amazing!Thank you very much!Your approach save millions time for me !!
@cosmicwit
Thank you for this Obsidian / academia content; it's been a total game changer!
@AffectiveApe
Nice! I think getting over the obsidian learning curve may be slightly too steep for my preferences, but it's always fun to see how others organize their intellectual habits.
@cuttingindulgence1-ms6tx
Notes: 1. Use the magic wand and paste DOI 2. Zotero Connector web extension for PDFs 3. Better Bibtex plugin for Zotero 4. Citations plugin for Obsdian 5. Ctrl + shift + E (or search (cmd+P): "citations"): insert literature note link Zettelkasten workflow: 1. Use literature notes as a reading journal: outline key points as you read 2. Graph view in obsidian: visual atomic summary of an article (which links to zettels) 3. Flashcards stored in literature notes for space repetition 4. Mindmaps in literature notes *As this is a creative process, there are no "must-dos," be it post-processing, or just taking notes. Go with the flow.
@Guulak
Thanks, man I really appreciate your work! It was very helpful to see you apply your work/ideas in PKM
@Bakingways
Another great video! Thanks. I can see that you came up with a practical solution for people who needs to get the job done!
