Episode notes

This chapter explores the application of the Zettelkasten method in book writing, highlighting the importance of organizing ideas and research effectively. It focuses on the differentiation between raw notes and the final written work, emphasizing the need for a cohesive narrative over preserving every note. The discussion also includes the role of beta readers and the unique challenges of transitioning from short-form writing to a complete book.

In this podcast you will learn:

How to capture ideas so you don’t lose them
How to think wildly using a centuries old notetaking technique
How to write constantly and never experience writers block again

For the past 20 years Bob Doto has worked with writers, spiritual aspirants, yogis, teachers, knowledge workers, teaching courses on Zettelkasten, PKM, social media, and spirituality. I had him on the podcast a few months ago and had a wonderful conversation. Now he’s coming back on for round 2 to have a conversation about his new book, A System For Writing.
