A week into my zettelkasten experiment, I can tell that my perfectionism got the best of me--the biggest help was recognizing that fleeting notes are your friends. I wanted to make any note a main note right away. This was too much like trying to write and edit at the same time.

The desire to edit while writing really sucks. It slows me down a lot since I want to make sure it looks good, but editing can actually be a lot more valuable if I wait for myself to spew all of my ideas out somewhere.
