The “slip-box” (or Zettelkasten) method is a workflow of taking notes and improving writing. It splits notes into three categories, fleeting notes, literature notes, and concept notes. Literature notes and concept notes are called permanent notes in combination.

There are three principles of Zettelkasten: hyperlinked, atomicity, and personal.
