  1. machine readable
  2. human readable
  3. plays well with default ordering

I think this is good to have ready when one works with less tech-savvy people to bring them up to speed in your team.

    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.
