Stop saving notes in folders and start connecting ideas using Roam Research

RoamResearch is a gamechanger. Self-described "note talking took for network thought", Roam Research has the potential to replace your diary, journal, to-do list, and any note-taking tool.

The concept of network thought originated from the Zettelkasten system popularised by Niklas Luhmann.

 A zettelkasten consists of many individual notes with ideas and other short pieces of information that are taken down as they occur or are acquired. The notes are numbered hierarchically, so that new notes may be inserted at the appropriate place, and contain metadata to allow the note-taker to associate notes with each other. 

For example, notes may contain tags that describe key aspects of the note, and they may reference other notes. The numbering, metadata, format, and structure of the notes are subject to variation depending on the specific method employed.

There are tonnes of video tutorials on YouTube but I found this one to be the most comprehensive.

Enjoy!
