What exactly is the Zettelkästen Method?

Hi Reader,

On Friday, I explained how George Carlin used a weird note-taking system for comedy writing.

Most prolific and successful writers rely on a research and note-taking system.

If you’re looking for one to implement, enter The Zettelkästen method:

The Zettel what?!

I get it.

Odd German words trip me up too.

I went ahead and recorded a YouTube video where I break down the Zettelkästen method and show you how I've tailored it for writing.

I reveal my personal tricks and tips to help you optimize your workflow and share the benefits and drawbacks of using this system to write.

You can't miss this video if you're as obsessed with note-taking and personal knowledge management as I am.

Check it out

Then, let me know what you think.

Viel Glück!

Write on,

Bryan Collins

PS I've got an early Xmas pressie coming your way this week. Watch out.
