Hello — notes that stay useful when the project changes

plexiidesk

Hi everyone. I've been circling Zettelkasten ideas for a while, mostly trying to keep research and project notes from turning into a graveyard of unfinished outlines.

The part I struggle with most is when a project shifts mid-stream: tags and links that made sense last month suddenly feel wrong, and I end up either over-rewriting notes or abandoning them.

How do you decide which notes are worth rewiring versus leaving as historical context? Any habits that help when the work itself keeps moving?

Looking forward to learning from this community.
