Route of information from the text read into the zettelkasten

Edit

A prototypical read workflow with ThoughtTank can look like this:

Create literature notes or mark important passages while reading a text (This is typically done outside of ThoughtTank. ThoughtTank uses the concept of the inbox to support those collecting the literature notes).
Transfer the most important ideas from the literature notes to the permanent notes in the inbox
Assign to a topic
Define keywords
Link the permanent note (possibly the keywords already lead to related notes - implicit links, which can now be linked explicitly).
Do not forget the other direction: Which notes should link the new note?
Set tags

Checklist

Ensure that the note is accessible in a few steps from an entry point.

A separate and established reading workflow supports the systematic and efficient Anchoring of information in long-term memory and might be a Process support in place of self-discipline.
