I decided to look for alternatives to Notion here. I don’t complain about Notion, and one of the best tools for creating a knowledge management system. However, sometimes there are difficulties with navigation and it is necessary to complicate the system. I stumbled upon Obsidian and the Zettelkasten method, which I heard about many times and finally decided to test this bundle. Obsidian is just imprisoned for Zettelkasten.

I have been using the method for about a month and have collected a knowledge base in the format of scraps and notes, which started with Web3 and related topics. 1-2 notes every day. Then I will scale to other topics.

Well, I can definitely say that I recommend Obsidian. It is just sharpened for Zettelkasten, but definitely not for storing information in the Wiki format. In the process, I realized that Notion and Obsidian are just different tools for different tasks. Notion is more about organizing and storing information. Obsidian for thought and creativity.

The essence of the Zettelkasten method is to create brief summaries, notes or insights and set up links between them that help create different contexts for the same idea and come to new unexpected conclusions. It is like a second brain, which you look at from the side.

The database of notes does not yet exceed 50, but the cumulative effect is already felt:
• Growth in productivity.
• Growth of motivation to work.
• Improving memory.
• Easier to dive into context.

Great for those whose work is related to research and content creation, but not only. There are a lot of options for applications.
