Zettelkasten
Related: Note Taking
Zettelkasten is a note-taking and knowledge management framework.
Perhaps the most famous Zettelkasten user is Niklas Luhmann who is a world-famous sociologist known not only for his work as a scientist but also for being extremely productive.
He has managed to write more than 70 books and 500 scientific articles for his life. In his productivity, he blamed zettelkasten (slip-box in German) which was his personal offline Wikipedia written on paper cards.
He is considered to be the pioneer of using card indexes for personal purposes.
I would suggest three main concepts behind Zettelkasten that allow it to be maintainable and serve its purpose:
