Keep durable notes here: material you expect to revisit, connect, and reuse over time.
Use this folder for reference notes such as:
- evergreen concepts
- source summaries
- technical how-tos
- glossaries
- distilled lessons from books, articles, or projects
Unlike Projects, reference notes should remain useful even when no active task depends on them.
- Separates long-term knowledge from active work.
- Makes it easier to build a reusable knowledge base instead of a pile of temporary notes.
- Gives ideas and projects a stable place to link to supporting context.
Create notes that answer a question clearly enough for your future self to reuse.
Example reference note:
---
type: reference
topic: obsidian
