Information overload is one of the biggest problems we face in modern society. We consume more information in 1 day than someone from the 1500βs did in their entire lifetimes π€―
To deal with this massive amount of information, we canβt look to the knowledge systems of the past. We need modern systems to help us filter the information we receive each day to make it more useful. We need ways to take notes (capture), organize those notes, distill them into useful assets, and then express them in a way that they maintain their usefulness.
After years of customizing my own personal knowledge management system in Obsidian, I have finalized the best workflow I could come up with: Molecular Zettelkasten.
Zettelkasten is a note-taking system that has helped thousands of people around the world make use of the information they consume in a practical manner. Molecular Zettelkasten is my way of modernizing this system to be as effective as possible in the digital age, leveraging my favourite note-taking tool: Obsidian.
This Starter Kit walks includes the essential note templates in the Zettelkasten System to get you going with your knowledge management system in Obsidian, including a detailed canvas workflow that helps you understand the zettelkasten model and how I have updated it to be more practical, efficient, and effective for the modern digital world.
I have had a lot of feedback from people saying this system changed the way they looked at personal knowledge management and note-taking, enabling them to truly begin building their second brain in a way that is customized for them.

BONUS: I have included an Obsidian canvas file that shows the workflows of how to use this system, alongside a detailed mind map illustrating the knowledge theory and how you can apply this system most effectively to your own life.
Other add-on templates may become available for separate purchase.
