This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Zettel­kasten: An Opinio­nated Guide

 

Philosophy

 
This 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.

Princi­peles

 
1. 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 Overview

 
Folders 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 Structure

 

FOLDERS

 
This 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
