Hi Obsidian Community!
I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can’t see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes.
How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess?
Am I doing LATCH wrong?
Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets?
Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works?
Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!
If you like having the date link attached to the note while browsing your notes, then you can filter out your daily notes directory in the graph view.
I personally don’t link all of my notes to the daily notes on the day they were made because I generally don’t care about what else I made on a particular day if it’s unrelated, and if it’s related then I just have a link there directly.
If you still care about notes made around the same time (or just time tracking note creation) you can do what I do and have all of your names be {zettel_timestamp}_{note_title} so it comes out like 202401051642_radioactive_mayonnaise_makaes_a_supermanwich and all notes sort into the date and time they were made when sorting by file name
I forgot about filtering in graph view. Thanks a lot for the reminder!
I don’t get the naming convention of a Zettelkasten. What if you have two notes about radioactive mayonnaise, but with different timestamps?
Thanks for that hint. How am I supposed to use the filter as exclude? I only saw it working as include only. Thanks!
Use - to exclude a search key. E.g. path:-“templates” or -tag:#diary.
