[[Obsidian]] # How I Structure Notes Here is the general pattern I follow: ```markdown frontmatter: "aka properties in Obsidian" --- [[Maps of Content]] | [[More Specific Map(s) of Content]] [[Previous Note]] <-> [[Next Note]] # Title Content goes here ``` Frontmatter is handled by obsidian, but technically goes at the top/front of the document. Next up, I always have the maps of content that a note should backlink to, so you can navigate up the chain after clicking on something in a map of content. These are separated by `|` if there are more than one, and should go from least specific to most specific. If a map of content is in another map of content, for example, it should go to the right of what it's contained by. If you keep clicking the top-left-most link, you should eventually end up back at my [[Home]] note. After that, if a note is a part of a series of dated notes, I like to have the previous and next note in the series, separated with `<->`. If it's the beginning or end of the chain, I'll mark that with `N/A`. Then I always have the title of the note as an H1, followed by whatever the content of the note is.
