# 1. Note Naming and Organization (+3)

## 1. Note Naming and Organization


```markdown
# Use consistent naming conventions
- lowercase-with-hyphens.md (recommended)
- Title Case Note Name.md (acceptable)
- Avoid: spaces_underscores_MixedCase.md

# Date prefix for temporal notes
2025-01-17 Daily Note.md
2025-01-17 Meeting with Team.md

# Unique identifier prefix for Zettelkasten
202501171430 Concept Name.md

# Project prefix for project notes
Project-Alpha Meeting Notes.md
Project-Alpha Requirements.md
```


## 2. Linking Strategy


```markdown
# Link generously but meaningfully
- Link when concepts are related
- Don't link common words
- Use descriptive link text

# Create hub notes (MOCs - Maps of Content)
# These serve as entry points to topics

# Example MOC: Programming MOC.md
# [[Python Basics]]
# [[JavaScript Fundamentals]]
# [[Data Structures]]

# Use unlinked mentions to discover connections
# Settings > Core plugins > Backlinks > Show unlinked mentions
```


## 3. Daily Notes Workflow


```markdown
# Morning routine
1. Create daily note from template
2. Review yesterday's note
3. Set top 3 priorities
4. Check calendar and add scheduled items

# Throughout the day
- Capture thoughts in daily note
- Link to relevant notes
- Create new notes for substantial ideas

# Evening routine
- Review completed tasks
- Process inbox items
- Reflect on the day
- Preview tomorrow
```


## 4. Progressive Summarization


```markdown
# Layer 0: Original content (source)
# Layer 1: Bold key passages
# Layer 2: Highlight within bold
# Layer 3: Executive summary at top
