Method of classification and assignment of classifications to a collection. This targets the state of a note and not everything that can go in the YAML Frontmatter ( Read that for more details )
Classifying status of notes
Writing Evergreen Notes!
Combining multiple special symbols for search
When searching, you should be combining multiple of these special symbols/keywords. This way you can filter out the ones you don’t need.
Types of special symbols
State Symbols
Symbols that describe the state of the note. These must be added to the state YAML Front Matter
- Progress Tags - Denoting tags that specify the completeness of a note. Only one per note
- seed - The note is just a seed. The idea is forming. Example: Empty note, with properties and a proper place in the vault.
- sapling - The note has sprouted from the
seedand is growing. Example: added relates, opposes and links - tree - The note is ready to join the forest, still may need a few more references or improvements. Example: The note contents have been filled, but there is more information that I’d like to add that is missing.
- evergreen - The note has joined the forest. Example: The note is fully formed and is not expected to change much.
- withered - The note is old and has withered away.
- ephemeral - notes that should be destroyed, information on them is temporary and is not important at all.
- core - This is a really special tag. It signals for a significant note in your vault. Notes like these are special and they are few and far between. This is a core topic.
- Action Tags
- inbox - The note needs to be placed somewhere in the forest
- orphan - The note is in the forest and doesn’t really need a place for now. They are linked to C3 ( a general place to control your garden )
- workbench - a collection for a specific idea or something I’m working on. These are not part of the forest
