Our Digital Garden has notes that can be discovered in few ways:

  • Clicking around a folder
  • Searching for a name
    • Remember Obsidian has aliases
  • Searching for a tag
  • Using backlinks and outgoing links
    • Even unlinked mentions
  • Searching for text inside of a note
    • This should be a last resort, it means your note has a low discoverability

In a perfect Slip-Box, connections between notes are how notes should be discovered. Tags used sparingly, no folders or hierarchy, just following the chain
