Fudge Sunday - Zettelkasten End of Year Favorites
This week we take a look at my Zettelkasten end of year favorites. Enjoy!
Getting Informed
My approach to bookmarking started with hand editing HTML files in the mid 1990s. Sadly, link rot has not been kind over the past +25 years.🤣
More recently, I’ve been trying to refine my Zettlekasten with Google Keep, Zapier, Slack, Matter, GitHub, and Obsidian while sunsetting my use of Evernote. So, I’d like to share just a few of my favorite links that have inspired me over the past year and helped inform issues of this newsletter.
When Martin Adams shared his approach to Zettelkasten method with Obsidian it inspired me to put in the effort to take smart(er) notes.
When Dr. Kurt Beyer shared this image of his future classroom setup at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and Executive Education Program it inspired several newsletters this year where technology and pedagogy converged.
When Chris Wahl shared his home office it inspired me to revisit my own studio setup and experiment with several refinements throughout the year.
When Tyler Jewel compiled findings from 500 engagements it inspired me to begin using Matter to read Substack hosted newsletters.
One last thing…
Thank you for reading.
Writing has been immensely rewarding for me.
Writing is the process by which you realize what you think and what you understand are two different things.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
