For those of you who read lots of papers or non-fiction that you need to reference again, how do you manage all of that data and relate it to other things?
I’ve been using #zotero and #obsidian to make a sort of knowledge management #wiki, but organizing the data from highlights takes considerable brain power. I’m sure this is just the way it’s gotta work, but I’d love any tips! I’d especially like tips on when to start refactoring or how to best organize things.
@Ashedryden I assume that @fuzzyleapfrog might have some ideas about this? :)
@Ashedryden I use a zettelkasten, which I organize in Roam (I started before Logseq existed, otherwise I probably would've organized it there). It does take considerable brainpower to organize my notes into zettelkasten but I also don't force it - if something feels maybe not worth it, I skip it, and then if I find myself wanting to reference it later I will go back and process it.
@Ashedryden Worth noting that all my highlights and quick notes get imported to Roam (via Readwise/Reader), so I can still access them through a general search, so even when something's not in the zettelkasten it's findable if I'm patient enough.
