📚 Article of the week: Zettelkasten Method

The recent Trello blog post introduces the Zettelkasten method, a notetaking technique for transforming daily information into valuable knowledge. The approach, developed by German sociologist Niklas Luhmann in the 1950s, involves creating and linking notes to form connections between unrelated pieces of information.

The post explains how to apply this method in the digital age using tools like Trello and Confluence, creating a second brain for personal or team knowledge management. Using this method, you can improve information retention and efficiency while fostering knowledge sharing.
