• My Note Taking Process

Tags

All top level “tags” ie log, map, project are all “types” of notes and when necessary the “type” field should be included in a note.

Some tags nested values mark a “status,” others mark a further classification of the “type”

All notes, regardless of “type” contain a #📝 node throughout its journey as it matures into a #📝/🌲, which is the ultimate goal.

See Petrichors Vault for inspiration

• #📥/📰 Article
  • Use highlights chrome extension to help create these article types for articles from medium
• #📥/🎥 Video
  • YouTube, Vimeo. Import using the Obsidian Scrapers to use the clipboard to auto fill the template and Youtube Summarizer
• #📥/🐦 Tweet
  • Readwise gets confused with tweets due to all of the formatting and characters, it’s best to manually add tweets and threads and be selective, often times the threads link to the real information, not just headlines.
• #📥/🛠 Tool
  • Various useful tools. Link keywords!
• #📥/📽 Movie
  • Pull from Letterboxd using scrapers and a new AI prompt
• #📥/📚 Book
  • Readwise for fiction
• #📥/📜 Papers
  • Zotero for non-fiction books, essays, papers
• #📥/👨‍🏫
  • This could turn into a big one, I’d like to build an index of tutorials, maybe by using 📥/👨‍🏫/editing
  • Include project files for the tutorials and bundle once tutorial turns 📥/🟩 or when a tag of #files
