Zettelkasten: An Opinionated Guide |
PhilosophyThis document provides an intuitive structure for your ZK that helps to foment and urge on elaboration. We create an opinionated reference for my personal use of ZK along with Obsidian. We will include principles, conventions, workflows, exhibit tension between folders and other schemes. The ZK described will be generated for multi-purpose use. Principeles1. Notes are by and for you 2. Notes are atomic -- this facilitates linking and embedding. 3.All notes start in the same place 4. Need -> blocks with functionality desired -> template -> "type" 5. All links must be elaborated. 6. Consistent naming of all objects: folders, notes, links, blocks, metadata, etc. Folder Structure OverviewFolders are either Primary or Support. 1. Primary folders are a limited set of folders which may be linked to and from ZK and are themselves interlinked according to Principles section. 2. Support folders serve to augment, provide assistance, context, information and database functionality for primary folders. |
Folder StructureFOLDERSThis is a personal choice, but you should aim for orthogonality: MAIN -- ZK -- PROJECTS >> { PROJ_ORG PROJ_DRAFT, PROJ_COMPLETED} -- PERIODIC SUPPORT -- META >> {CONVENTIONS , TEMPLATES, WORKFLOWS} -- PEOPLE -- CODE INBOX -- SELF -- AUTO_IMPORT |
