Frontmatter
Every note needs frontmatter:
yaml
--- type: daily | project | meeting status: active | done | paused tags: [type/daily, project/name] created: YYYY-MM-DD updated: YYYY-MM-DD ---
Tags
Hierarchical tags:
- •
#type/daily,#type/project,#type/meeting - •
#status/active,#status/done,#status/paused - •
#project/{name}
Linking
Wiki links: [[Note Name]] or [[folder/Note|Display Text]]
Common patterns:
- •
[[2026-01-19]]— Daily note - •
[[Second Brain/Projects/my-project/CONTEXT]]— Project context - •
[[2026-W03#Next]]— Section of weekly note
