Public notes FAQ great notes examples
-
what? All of these are Patterns/Conventions I use in my notes
-
why you don’t…
- use headings? - I hate them
- strange behaviors when folding stuff
- takes too much brain power to make them (### = heading 3)
- Titles take space and time. Not very practical even if stylish
- Lists instead…
- separate close paragraphs
- has a minimal style
- organize without taking much space
- remember to never have more than 4 items when making lists so you’ll remember and organize stuff better
- just fold the lists and here you go, you have “headings”
- BUT the outline view from the right bar won’t work using only lists
- by default, only headings are supported
- have so few folders? complexity & friction I don’t need
- I have a folder system in my private notes but it’s not so complex
- use headings? - I hate them
-
Condensing info make me process/remember it much better
- try to have only 1 line paragraphs, no bigger than that
- don’t go over 4 items in any kind of list
- always separate/group whenever it makes sense
-
To determine importance I use…
- numbered lists
- spaces & dividers
- under that divider starts a less important list of items, in this case Productivity and Mind (still important items in that context/image)
-
source mentioning
- general sources
- src
-
- fonte (it’s Italian and it means “source”)
- specific
- w website
- g github
- v video
- general sources
-
link/upgrade/delete old notes whenever needed, not periodically
-
related notes - almost always mentioned at the top of the note
-
archived - stuff I no longer count as relevant
- there just because I don’t want to delete them/archival reasons
- almost always at the bottom of the file
