# Notes Organizing Principles This note documents the principles to follow throughout the whole notes organizing systems. ## Golden Rules - Use built-in features whenever possible. - Use tags whenever possible, don't define metadata. - Use universal features whenever possible. - Don't be persnickety about all-in-one. - Maximizing compatibility without sacrificing ease of use. - Distinguish the things that wrote and things that you took note of. ## Sections > [!tip] What retrieved the same way, used the same way, shall stay in the same > place. - [[emphasis|Emphasis]] - How to emphasize things, e.g. bold, italic, etc. - [[taxonomy|Categorization]] - How to categorize things, e.g. tag, folder, sections, type. - [[obsidian-naming|Naming]] - ## Platform - [[obsidian-organizing-principles|Obsidian Organizing Principles]] - [[notability|Notability]] - [[notion|Notion]] - [[zotero|Zotero]] - [[cubox|Cubox]] - [[flomo|Flomo]] ## Methodology - [[para|P.A.R.A]] proposed by Tiago Forte. - [[latch|LATCH Approach]]
