Best practices to start with Obsedian & Zettelkasten?

Knowledge management

  1. I use tags for status - work in progress, unread, etc. For very broad topics (e.g. economic theory) I prefer notes that serve as maps of content.
  2. I prefer titles that are like a one sentence abstract, although for some event driven items that repeat I’ll be more succinct - e.g. Federal Reserve statemen theret on 2020/xx/xx
  3. There is a template plugin that can do exactly that - look in the settings screen.
  4. I separate major topics by folder, mostly professional versus personal (with subfolders under each). This way I can open them all as a single vault, or individually as their own vaults, depending the circumstances. Eg I only sync my professional vault to my work computer, but all vaults on my home computer.
  5. I have multiple languages in my vaults without any issue.
