I yap about my Personal Knowledge Base

Page is subject to updates

I do a lot of note taking. Really. I practically live in my obsidian vault at this point. For a basic overview of my note taking system;

Most of my notes are split into 'wings', or folders dedicated to a specific topic (i call them 'wings' because it makes it sound like a library)

One of them is a 'Misc' Wing. It also contains 'experimental wings', or ones I don't know will be a main one yet. If they get big enough, I'll move them into the root folder, or as a sub-folder in another wing.

Alongside my regular notes, in each wing I have 'scratchpads'. These are dumping grounds for random notes that don't have enough to warrant its own file yet

If stuff in the scratchpad gets enough info, I'll move it into it's own note.

It's probably not the best way of organizing things. It's unwieldy at times (fuzzy search is carrying me). But it makes sense to me.
