## Principles ### Main Organization Principles - Follow the [[PARA Method]] to sort your notes based on actionability - Incorporate principles of [[Zettelkasten]] and [[Evergreen Notes]] - [[The use of folders, links, and tags]] - Keep track of the status of the note - Tracking the status of your notes helps you understand where each note stands in the information pipeline. It provides clarity on whether a note is a work in progress, completed, or requires further action. - By categorizing notes based on their status, you can easily identify which notes need attention, which are ready for implementation, and which have been finalized or archived. - In the vault, this is done primarily through [[Metadata]] and the [[Dataview Plugin]] ### Creating notes that are easy to find #### Avoid vague idea titles When creating note titles, it's essential to be specific rather than using vague or generic titles to make it easy to find the information your future self will look for Instead, use descriptive and meaningful titles that capture the essence of the note's content or purpose. This helps in quickly identifying and accessing the information you're looking for when you have a specific use case in mind #### Place notes where they are most useful To optimize the usefulness of your notes, consider placing them in locations that are most relevant to their associated use cases. Referring back to the [[PARA Method]], think about the project, area, or resource that the note relates to and store it accordingly.
