Two questions for you #pkm folks and those that use #zettelkasten (-derived) methods:
In your eyes,
1.) Should permanent notes be edited once created, or should they let be and a fresh note refering to them be made instead?
2.) what differentiates a permanent note from an evergreen note?
1. Whatever works for you.
2. Whatever you decide, should you choose to use those note categories.
I think what’s important to understand is that the ZK method – or any method for note taking – only works once you’ve made it your own.
Spending to much time thinking about adhering to some arbitrary rules is just a time waster.
That said: Reading about what others do and how they formalize their note taking style provides important inspiration.
@anders First of all, I love that you come back to this old idea, I *totally* love this! This is how dialogue on microblogging should (also) work!
Second, I‘m afraid I grappled for and confabulated the term right then and there to suscintly try and express the idea of "tags define the context of a note in a system" and "for knowledge management to work, we need to trust the system" and "tags as metadata are also a memory aid, just like the note itself" and turn it into A Thing
@spinningthoughts Returned thanks to my GTD-system. Never felt that I had processed this enough, and now it was surfaced in my weekly review. :)
Will try to think about it some more on my own then. Will probably return here once again. :)
@anders I‘ll have to blog about it at some point. I have a bunch of ideas about workflows and systematization (how much, how far, what outcomes are supported and why) laying around that are slowly bubbling up into Something.
Let me know what comes up for you! Maybe also if you have contrasting ideas in your own ideas stack or your references.
I think at this point I‘ll keep an eye on it.
@spinningthoughts Alright, back here once again!
When I returned to Obsidian with Tana, I had the concept of supertags with me. Framed in Obsididan terms, a supertag is a note template. And the most important supertags I have in Tana are Source, Highlight, Thought, Idea, and Thread – something of a sequence where thoughts are sparked by highlights taken from books, podcasts etc. Each supertag is now a note template with a couple of important properties.
@spinningthoughts Three are of particular value: Spark, Topic, and Inbox.
Spark links back to – surprise – the note that sparked the idea to create the new one.
Topic links to one or more topic notes to build clusters of notes.
Inbox links to a supporting note type: Question.
