Predefined structure for capturing a thought

Edit

A completely described thought consists of

  • the explanation of its relevance (Why? So What?),

  • the presentation of the consequence (What?) for the reader, the author or another object and

  • if necessary, an argumentation which derives this consequence. (How?)

In the case of listing connected notes, you may only want to display the relevance of the connected note or the context in which it is relevant. In a short description of the connected thoughts, the consequence of this thought is also of interest. In a presentation or documentation, one would also like to deduce this thought for the reader.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not only collect information, but link it

A zettelkasten brings advantages for those who gain new knowledge and insights from connecting information.

Anchoring of information in long-term memory

The creation of notes and the linking in the zettelkasten support the storing of information in the long-term memory.
