I use [BibDesk](https://bibdesk.sourceforge.io/) to manage my citations, as described in the essay [Manage Citations for a Zettelkasten](https://zettelkasten.de/posts/bibliography-zettelkasten/). For every book, webpage, or video I want to reference, I create a new entry. It’s a quick process, but immensely helpful later to find the source again.

## Note Creating Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
If I sit at one of my Mac computers, I press a shortcut in Obsidian to automatically create a new Zettelkasten note, automatically suffixed with a timestamp ID. I enter a title for the note, and a template feature of Obsidian automatically fills in the basic structure of a note. I use Alfred to create other types of notes. My note template is as simple as it gets:

I add the title, content, commented links to other notes, and tags. I decided to drop the ID from the title of the headline. This example is translated, I use the German language for my notes:

# Zettelkasten Principles
|
||||
|
||||
The 12 Zettelkasten principles mentioned in [#Clear2019aa].
|
||||
|
||||
1. Atomicity – Just one idea per note
|
||||
2. Autonomy – A note should be self-contained and comprehensible on its own
|
||||
3. Link your notes – Link the note to already existing notes
|
||||
4. Explain why you’re linking the notes – Add a comment to the link
|
||||
5. Use your own words – Don’t copy and paste. Writing in your own words forces you to understand the idea.
|
||||
6. Keep references – Add references to your notes to remember where you got the idea from.
|
||||
7. Add your thoughts – Add comments or ideas.
|
||||
8. Don’t worry about structure – You don’t need folders
|
||||
9. Add connection notes – If you see a connection between random notes, add new notes connecting these.
|
||||
10. Add outline notes – If you see topics emerging, create outline notes, that contain just links to other notes and create a story or narrative.
|
||||
11. Never delete – Don’t delete old notes, link the new notes describing what’s wrong or outdated.
|
||||
12. Add notes without fear – You can’t have too many notes.

[#Clear2019aa]: David B. Clear (2019): _Zettelkasten – How One German Scholar Was So Freakishly Productive_, <https://writingcooperative.com/zettelkasten-how-one-german-scholar-was-so-freakishly-productive-997e4e0ca125>.
|

```
|

|

In DEVONthink I select all notes I created on a given day and press the right mouse button, select `Tags` → `Convert Hashtags to Tags` which will create Mac tags out of the Hashtags on my notes. It’s possible to activate this feature in the settings automatically, but I didn’t do it because Obsidian doesn’t have a save feature, instead automatically saves the note on every keystroke. The Hashtag feature in Obsidian supports auto-complete, but as the sync to DEVONthink is instantly the feature would create multiple meaningless tags, e.g., `Zet`, `tel`, `ka`, `sten` – depending on how fast you type or when you select the auto-completed tag.
|
||||
|
||||
DEVONthink can create a nice preview thumbnail of the notes and will sync all notes or changes via the sync storage with other devices (including the Mac tags).
|
||||
|
||||
I commit all changes or additions to my Zettelkasten folder and push the changes to GitHub. It’s not needed to pull my changes on another computer (unless I want to commit to a different computer) because DEVONthink handles the synchronization.
|
||||
|
||||
I try to connect notes when I find a note without connections and split notes into small notes if I stumble upon a note that is too big.
|
||||
|
||||
Over time, these connected notes convert into a second brain. New ideas emerge by connecting notes that weren’t originally intended to be connected.
