@Sebastian anti pattern comes from software engineering, where it is a best practice to identify common patterns in design that help make software better, and by extension avoid anti patterns i.e. those patterns of software design and development that make the craft of software more difficult than necessary. So one thing you seek to do is become self-aware when you are drifting into an anti pattern and correct it.
My notes now are as tightly focused as they need to be. Most notes are relatively small, and I have some notes that are larger and have quite a few links to other closely related notes. I’ve taken to calling those notes topic clusters which are sort of an intermediate step between notes and MOCs.
My struggle now is figuring out how to integrate my daily work into Obsidian – this past week I spent virtually no time in Obsidian because I spent a massive amount of time in meetings taking in input and making decisions on the fly. I’m experimenting with a way to structure todos so I can aggregate them together more easily, if I can make that happen then I think I can make this work because I need to be able to create todos at the point of relevance but retrieve them later. I’m testing a system and will see how it goes this week.
