This is a private page to share with colleagues and friends interested in how I implement the Zettelkasten approach in my knowledge and project management system.
My Medium blog explains my broad approach to knowledge and project management, as well as the specific implementation within Notion. Here’s the Notion template you can copy and use yourself.
I’ve since moved my own system over to Obsidian for data security reasons. If you want to try that out, you can download a zip file containing a template version of my system here. If you don’t already have Obsidian you can download it from this link. Then, to install the template:
- Unzip the zip file and save it as a folder on your device (I recommend saving it to a file synchronisation service if you use one, like Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive, to benefit from automatic back-ups and version history.)
- Open the Obsidian application and click the “Open another vault” button in the bottom left corner. Select the “Open folder as vault” option and choose the folder you just created for the template.
- When you first open this folder, you’ll be asked if you trust the author of this vault. You’ll need to select “Trust author and enable plugins” for the template to work (otherwise the vault will open in “Restricted Mode” meaning the community plugins will be disabled).
