What are your 'Link Types'?

Here is mine. I'd have never have guessed that I use 10 different link types in my Zettelkasten.

Link types

  • [[201901281919]] - UID
  • [[201905140816 The ideometer effect]] - UID with title (I've evolved away from this format.)
  • evernote:///view/597091/s5/501a053b-d5a7-456c-ba30-391851623c51/501a053b-d5a7-456c-ba30-391851623c51/ - Custom protocol/URL-schemes (This one to Evernote.)
  • #zettelkasten - tags
  • [[Tiago Forte]] - [[search term]] - including boolean operations such as [[quanta or pseudoinefficacy NOT "Charle Munger"]]
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXnR7qX3BDc - any web address
  • UID: ›[[202003210936]] - a link that gets all backlinks listed in the note list and created as part of my default note template
  • Email: mailto://s.slovic@uidaho.edu - email link

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.
