If you are thinking too much about what you do, I think there are two solutions.
- The system you use must have a specific, clear and systematic structure so that you can say, “Is this right? Did it happen this way?” so that you don’t have to deal with questions like.
- It is the opposite of the first system. There are no very clear rules, there is no specific system. As you use obsidian for your purpose, you develop your own working order. In this way, you don’t have to deal with the same questions. In short, over time you start to develop a system of your own.
In short, I think your style should be more on the edge in terms of being systematic and organized, and I don’t think that you should have a system in between.
For this reason, you can use this system that I developed myself, which is more suitable for the first option, which is clear what to do in a step by step manner. However, I made this system for making academic notes. If you are not using Obsidian for this purpose, I still recommend you to read it. Because I prepared it using many sources, maybe you can find answers to your questions in the Zettelkasten system in summary form.
