TIMs EVER Notes

EVER(GREEN)

This is the status field in my notes. The purpose behind this status is to be an intentional classification of how developed the note is. 1

• #EVER/SEED notes that may only have a couple sentences or a few links. They are speculative insights, that I have either gathered from external resources or found through connections of other notes. They could grow into sprouts within a few weeks, or months, but can accumulate backlinks and resources that will help them grow in time.
• #EVER/SAPLING notes that have a body that fleshes out their core concept, but haven't had the chance to develop into something evergreen.
• #EVER/GREEN There are three main aspects that make a note evergreen: Quality of understanding, frequency of use, and level of insight. If a note is strong in any of these areas then I will classify it as evergreen.

These first three refer primarily to how developed the note is, but also come with the idea that I do not have any current intention of working on them. 2 This means that any ideas that I have for them should be marked with #TO tags. There should be no limit on home many of these notes I have. 3

• #EVER/WEED notes that have content that I am not happy with, these are filtered out from my publish vault.
• #EVER/SPROUT notes that I am unsure of what stage they are at. All new notes come in with this tag, and will sit here until I am confident enough to assign them a stronger classification. There is less pressure to understand what needs to be done and what needs to be connected because these are in my priority que. If the number of the notes with this status is getting overwhelming, that probably means I am hitting the limit of how much information you can process at once and something is going to get lost. At that point, I need to go through and define relationships and what needs to be worked on. Then I can either add them to my incremental writing que or wait for spaced repetition to bring them up again.
