Supporting the identification of related thoughts

Edit

The set of keywords in a note together with a Separation of independent logical units span a context in which we look for related notes that put themselves into the same context. By sharing a context notes are in an implicit relationship with each other. This allows the user for Transformation of implicit into explicit relationships between notes generate knowledge in the next step.

The choice of keywords can be guided by the question: In what context do I want to have this note suggested again?

Tip: Use the singular. Make sure not to use different synonyms for the same context.

Based on keywords, Thought Tank suggests related notes. Use keywords to mark the essential concepts that you deal with in a note.

Linked Notes

Separation of independent logical units

Thought Tank uses topics to create largely independent contexts.

Notes Linking this Note

Thought Tank features to build well documented and connected thought

ThoughtTank creates a methodological framework that supports the construction of interconnected knowledge. This is done through feature selection and specific instructions for creating notes.

Possibly related Notes

Tag

With tags you can structure your note box further, for example to create subtopics or cross the Separation of independent logical units introduced by topics.

Transformation of implicit into explicit relationships between notes generate knowledge

By identifying related notes that are not explicitly linked, ThoughtTank encourages you to explicitly link these notes. Making relationships explicit generates new knowledge.

Manage the flow of notes for continuous curration of the Zettelkasten

We use Flow tags to mark different processing states of notes and support the capture and editing process.

Our Vision

We make your own mind the smartest discussion partner for your thoughts.

Applications in which the Zettelkasten is superior to other approaches

Zettelkasten-based approaches close the gap between (digital) notebooks and visual systems (mind map, concept map, outlining tools) for presenting linked information.

Predefined structure for capturing a thought

Thought Tank captures the aspects WHY, HOW and WHAT of a thought separately. Depending on the view on a thought, the system presents these aspects differently.

Process support in place of self-discipline

Luhmann’s self-discipline in the care of a zettelkasten is replaced by ThoughtTank in parts by guidelines, method and process support.
