Sure, I do something similar. I have a note for a person and I have a note for a recurring meeting. In a recurring meeting I have a Dataview field called Host.
#Meeting
This is my meeting note
Host:: [[John Doe]]
In a Person note, I have a section for meetings the person hosts. I use Dataview to search for the Host field and see of it matches the current Person note.
#Person
This is John Doe's note.
# Meetings
dataview
table without ID file.link AS "Meeting"
from #Meeting
where contains(Host, this.file.link)
The new Properties feature sounds like it’ll be what Dataview fields are. Except now it’ll be in a native interface where I can easily change the information about the note.
I could see there being a correlation between cat owners and techies. How strong of a correlation though? We’ll need a study for that.
And I’ll have you know I have ferrets. Which some call cat snakes.
I think of MOCs as “topics” that naturally arrise through my notes. Let’s say I had notes for Kayaking, Snowboarding, Rooftop Parkour, Sky Diving, Hiking, and Rock Climbing all written months apart. I may later realize I should create a MOC called “Physical Activities” that captures all of them.
I try to utilize folders sparingly, but it’s a tough habit to break. The problem with folders is that they’re hierchal. I don’t want an “Physical Activities” folder, because that limits things. Perhaps I’ll have another MOC called “Fear of Heights” that also has Rooftop Parkour and Skydiving. It’s about creating maximum discoverability.
Tags I use to group things so I can find them with Dataview. For example, if I create a literature note, I’ll tag it “Source” and have a sub tag for type, like “Source/Newspaper”. As with MOCs, multiple tags can be used which helps with not seeing notes as a folder hierarchy.
I don’t understand why this is so tempting. It’s clearly dangerous and even says not to do it.
Anyways, my mouth is ever slightly too small for one to accidentally slip in. But I could probably force it and not have the ability to crunch a plastic LED bulb to get it out.
