Good quote here:

The primary purpose of note-taking should not be for storing ideas, but for developing them. When we take notes, we should ask: “In what context do I want to see this note again?”

• Fleeting notes (random thoughts) are taken on the daily notes

How I take notes with org-roam

https://jethrokuan.github.io/org-roam-guide/

Uses slip boxes:

• reference
• main
• articles (not really interested in this)

He also uses an inbox, which I guess could just be my GTD inbox.

Reference notes have a ROAM_REF key, which comes in two flavours:

• [cite:key] for books
• the URL for websites

I am unclear what cite:key is supposed to mean, but this may have something to do with org-ref.

Everything has draft tag until they don't.
