Up: [[Note-Making Architecture]] --- # Making Notes from Original Work and Projects ```mermaid graph LR A["Work on project"] --> |Learning or Idea!|B["Create note in Lessons Learned or a Fleeting Note"] B --> C["Process during and at end of project"] C --> |Idea|D["Create project notes, areas of interest, etc."] C --> |Learning|E["Evergreen notes"] C --> |Project-focused notes|F["Optionally processed and added to project folder"] ``` ## Fleeting Notes/Transient Notes/Inbox Any note is game for this. A quick note, orphan ones should be in the Fleeting Notes folder with a filename generated by the [[Zettelkasten Prefix Plugin]]. Heavily linked to concepts, but Obsidian's search is so powerful we can wield that tool effectively as well to add half-remembered notes to other things. ^b1065a Ideas should also be added to the fleeting notes folder. These get developed into research directions, articles, videos, and more. Similar to the Writing Inbox I have in [[Roam]]. Should be viewed regularly and drained. [[Maggie Delano]] will put any learnings/fleeting notes as separate fleeting note in the fleeting note folder. In this system, if a fleeting note is captured and it relates to a project, you process it immediately or add it to the project folder (maybe if it's tightly bound to a project). If it's an idea for a future improvement for that project, the note can be processed into one that goes into a "Future Improvements" folder in that project folder. - [Source](https://discord.com/channels/824179057620811806/852260301571358771/876913621354041355) The above is just an idea - I find myself more usually adding notes to a project's learnings and then developing them into their own notes. I think I should stop that habit, though, because after a project is done I tend to stop looking at it. At the very least all learnings should be refactored into separate notes before the project is considered done. --- Examine the book called [[Making Notes from Outside Sources]]?
