Having two different types of links
First of all thanks @Sascha for a great article describing structure notes. This idea appears in multiple places, another way to call these type of notes is Hub or Map of Content notes. Usually it represents some kind of category or a grouping. I like this approach a lot cause it allows to organize notes into hierarchy… -

What happens at the intersection of an idea?
Answer: Ikigai I've been trying to structure my procrastination. I call it positive directional procrastination. These are some of the results. @thomasteepe has got me thinking about tools for idea creation. Even though this one is specifically a digital one, I still want to credit Thomas. Maybe he'd rather I not mention… -
Re: Is it better to have separate ZK vault for different purpose? Like for Technical engineering notes
This is a question I've had, too. One solution I hit on for The Archive, liberally tempered with inexperience, is to tag structure notes with #struct. In my musings, the title would be a unique timestamp followed by something subject specific. Search for #struct to see all the structure documents, search for #struct AND… -
About tags...again.
Hi there! tl;dr First, I want to thank you for your topics that brought to life about Zettelkasten method. I was inspired by your posts and I decided to register to ask for your opinion since you have run this method for some times. I don't know if this was discussed before in the manner I want to present it, but if it was… -
"Content notes" and "Structure notes" – Should these terms be replaced?
When it comes to what kinds of notes should make up a zettelkasten, the usual answer given on this website – inspired by Luhmann's original approach – is: content notes and structure notes. Content notes are supposed to be about one (and ideally only one) interesting idea/thought like "The nutrient-density in our… -
How do you "start" when working with your notes?
I've been adding a lot more notes to my Zettelkasten recently (in The Archive of course) and while I've been reading the forum more as well as existing posts about things like Structure Notes, there's still something that I don't feel like I've gotten a good answer to yet. And that's the idea of: when you open your full… -
Re: Is it better to have separate ZK vault for different purpose? Like for Technical engineering notes
Thanks, Sascha! I think I like - time will tell - a hierarchy to tags. For instance, cities could be tagged something like #US-Texas-Austin or #UK-London. Something that's really fun with The Archive, though, is seeing how much organization can be effected without complexity. I don't want to overthink things. -
Re: Is it better to have separate ZK vault for different purpose? Like for Technical engineering notes
I use the tag "#Structure" on all my structure notes as well. To be useful in a search, you probably want to have other tags that narrow down the search. You don't want to search for structure notes and then find you have hundreds of them. You want to find the one structure note that covers a specific topic you are… -
Re: Having two different types of links
To clarify: Do you mean the difference between two ideas linked within a structure note vs two atomic notes being linked. Or do you mean an link from a structure note to an atomic note vs two atomic notes being linked?
