I love this image from @ShuOmi3 I would add that when you integrate your notes into your life planning, discoverability and usability is even more powerful. 1/8 https://twitter.com/ShuOmi3/status/1285502365575942144
2/8 - I use a tiered linking system for my notes in @RoamResearch. I have at least one link (usually many more) on every source (page) or note (block) depending on how deep my progressive summarization has gone thus far.
3/8 - Top links in meta link directly to my life planning methodology from broad to specific: Whys, Goals, Projects, Projects Tasks/Topics/Sections. Each source gets at least one of above. In my planning system, all Tasks link to Project, all Projects to Goal, all Goals to Why.
4/8 - Linking this way guarantees notes will resurface during my daily life management â could be when visiting Whys (drivers) for new Goals (future me) or reviewing Goals to find Projects (stepping -tones) or reviewing Projects for Tasks (deliverables).
5/8 - The next row of source links includes as many tags as are relevant - so even though source is resting under a Why/Goal/Project/Task â it will also have the ability to serendipitously pop back up outside of that structure.
6/8 - The blocks also get more granular link references (at the Project or Task/Topic/Section level)
7/8 - Benefits of organizing within this structure means you end up naturally curating your consumption to only that which is required to achieve results. If something doesnât fit into your life plan and doesnât match a link/tag⊠itâs a swamp note.
8/8 - Unlinked swamp notes will suck you under. Integrated life notes will create a net you can bounce on. (I would make a cute graphic for that like @ShuOmi3 but I canât draw!)
