The Zettelkasten Method is a note-taking method. It consists of four notes: fleet note, literature note, reference note, and permanent note.
The method starts from a fleet note that quickly captures thoughts and ideas. Later, we can move references to reference notes and turn a fleet note into a literature note by adding our topics, understandings, and questions. After translating the subject into our content, we finalized our notes with permanent notes from the literature note. In the permanent notes, we express our viewpoints and connect to all relevant notes.

- Creating four Note Types properties for fleet, literature, reference, and permeant notes.
- Adding Tags property to keep keywords.
- Create links in the content to connect notes.
- Enforce note processing workflow using the Note Template.
- Using task tracking and reminders in Notion for continuous updates.
