About the Author

Juan Manuel Ferrera Díaz
Juan M. Ferrera

While exploring organization methods that could tackle my intrincate Vedic studies, a friend pointed me to Sönke Ahrens' book "How to Take Smart Notes", which introduced me to the Zettlekasten method. Initially, I experimented with various software options such as Obsidian, Logseq, and The Archive, but later decided to explore the original author's analog approach. 

With the online help of Scott Scheper, an entrepreneur and analog Zettlekasten mentor I setup my personal box and called it "My Analog Brain".

As I practiced the method, it piqued the interest of many fellow individuals who wanted to learn more from me. Over time, I gathered a wealth of experience, along with questions and answers, which gradually evolved into this book.
