Poor note box

After long conversations with Detlef Stern I have decided to keep a digital slip box again. My last successful digital Zettelkasten replaced my Zettelkasten from my studies in the 1990s. 

Unfortunately, its software was no longer developed and later it was also forbidden to be used on company computers, so that my years of work on the Zettelkasten was lost. Later I tried my own products as well as commercial ones, but it didn't work like it did back then. 

With my own products, the focus was on the product itself and with the commercial solutions, I simply lacked the verve of the past few years. And that's how it came about -- years later -- that I got the von Detlef Stern create Zettelstore as the basis for my new Zettelkasten.

But after all these years, I'm now in a kind of discovery phase, namely whether getting bogged down is still worthwhile for me, whether I wouldn't be better off living with the alternatives I've used and established in the meantime and how best to set up a Zettelkasten.

Much to the chagrin of Detlef Stern serves me my note box meanwhile more as storage -- but not only Detlef's software is tough!

Maybe this forum will help me to expand my new Zettelkasten into an ideal brain extension. In any case, I combine blog - forum - Zettelkasten to a way of thinking that works for me.

  • Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?

    No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
    In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
    The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.

  • I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
    Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.

    • As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.
