  • Having just read this, after rrieke's post, and having also just started to use UIDs, including adding them to old notes, I'm thinking it might be a good idea, before I go any further, to go ahead and prepend a UID to every note's filename, based on the date created (or possibly modified). That might preserve some of the "date memory" chunking that can be so useful.

  • I'd add them as you go. Think of the ID as a socket. The magic happens when the plug goes in the socket (no pun intended, for now): When you link notes together in a meaningful way.

  • Good advice; thanks.

  • After scouring the internet, I am obviously missing something, because I have not found how people do this in Notion. Where do you put these identifiers there and how do people go back and adjust the sequencing as they gather zettels?
