Filter out useless entries by questioning their relevance. 2. **⁇ म – Content Map Notes** - Tag categorical notes that help form a content map. - **Usage:** Start organizing notes with this tag when you have multiple sources on a topic. - **Visualization:** Use the graph view to see how these notes are interconnected and visualize areas of interest. 3. **⚛ – Notes Pending Breakdown** - Tag notes that need to be broken down into smaller, independent notes. - **Typical Use:** Applied to synopses that require further detailing. 4. **🌲 – Evergreen and Growth Notes** - Tag especially valuable notes or those you want to develop further. - **Usage:** Mark notes that are particularly interesting or valuable for ongoing development. 5. **🃏 – Flashcards (for Spaced Repetition)** - Tag notes you want to use for spaced repetition learning.** - **Nested Categories:** Create sub-tags for specific fields (e.g., 🃏/statistics). 6. **⏳ – Periodic Review Notes** - Tag notes that need to be reviewed periodically. - **Usage:** Use this tag for constant updating and revisiting of notes. ### Avoid Overcompensation with Tags - **No Hierarchical Compensation:** Do not try to replace folder hierarchies with a complex tag structure. - **Purpose-Driven Tagging:** Use tags selectively and purposefully to maintain simplicity and effectiveness. ### Example Usage 1. **Incoming Notes:** - `📥 Quick idea on data analysis methods` 2. **Content Map Notes:** - `⁇ म Data Science Concepts` 3. **Notes Pending Breakdown:** - `⚛ Summary of "Deep Learning" by Ian Goodfellow` 4. **Evergreen and Growth Notes:** - `🌲 Key insights on neural networks` 5. **Flashcards:** - `🃏 /statistics Principles of statistical inference` 6. **Periodic Review Notes:** - `⏳ Monthly review of data science projects` By following these guidelines, you can keep your tagging system simple and effective, ensuring that your knowledge base in Obsidian remains organized and easy to navigate. -----
