Update on Zettelkasten

I haven't been doing much Zettelkasten lately. The systems I have in place for organizing research and notes within specific writing projects, such as using Scrivener or Overleaf, are working well for me. However, if I were to explore Zettelkasten further, it would most likely be in a broader knowledge management context, where I could integrate various sources of information and create more interconnected notes. It's an area that I'm open to exploring in the future.
