An introduction to the Zettelkasten note-taking and knowledge management system which was famously used by sociologist Niklas Luhmann in the mid-twentieth century to inform his extensive research output, and recently made accessible to learn as a method by Sönke Ahrens through his book, How to Take Smart Notes Jeremy Ray explains the method and its uses and shares his own experiences using Zettelkasten software and in developing a theory about video game toxicity. The Zettelkasten method has come to the attention of thinkers and researchers interested in long-term productivity and creativity. The method is said to illuminate connections between ideas by producing clusters of thought, including interdisciplinary links, which may not otherwise have been recognised by a researcher.
