So, what do you need to start building your Zettelkasten?
Niklas Luhmann used a physical index card box with almost 100,000 index cards that were linked to one another by a complicated directory system. Such a huge directory took up a lot of space: He needed an entire room just to store his notes.
Fortunately, we are already living in the digital age. Unless you prefer pen and paper, you can create your entire Zettelkasten on your smartphone.
This comes with many benefits besides needing less physical space: A digital Zettelkasten makes it easier to find notes and makes the interlink between notes substantially faster.
