This is what [[Tiago Forte]] calls "Just in Time" management. For example, if a note is directly applicable to a specific project, ensure it's linked to the project so it will show up in the note's [[Backlinks]]. This way, you can easily find and refer to the note when working on that project. To do this, ask yourself: *What would you search if you needed this information?* Based on your response, you can do different things like: - Simply add an alias to the note (ex. [[The Problem With the 4% Rule|The realistic FIRE withdrawal plan]]) - Move it to the most relevant based on [[Information actionability hierarchy]] - If reusable, turn into new notes ([[Intermediate packets]]) - For each new note, set `Links` metadata to [[Information actionability hierarchy]] - If you need more context as to why you made the link, you can just include it in [[Projects#Notes]] The only downside is that you don't get a chance to play with the ideas and collide it with existing notes, which is what [[Note-making]] allows for. ## Example - Ex) If your project is to make spaghetti and you just finished reading a book on how to make Italian food, we don't need to include the whole cookbook highlights so we can instead create a new note called `How to make spaghetti` - Then, in the relevant "action note" (project on making spaghetti) you make a link to the note, adding additional context - Ex) In the project note, you say "Follow instructions in `How to make spaghetti` but only use 1/2 cheese because I'm lactose intolerant" - But then if we had an [[Areas]] note to start an Italian restaurant we would simply link to the Italian cookbook - Then for future reference in case we decide to start a multi-cultural restaurant (area) we could link the cookbook (input) into a `Cooking` note (resource)
