This is an incredible resource for thinking about different "kinds" of notes in

Could totally be expanded into lessons / a strategy guide cc

That note is slowly evolving into that sort of thing, as the notes linked from there become higher-fidelity. I’d be curious to hear about others’ taxonomies. As-always caveat:

Historically I've kept most of my thoughts in daily notes, with backlinks on each page as a raw collection of filterable thoughts For refining ideas though, thinking more about pulling notes out of the backlinks into the body of the note with block refs

Recorded a video showing a writing workflow in @RoamResearch where you 1. Collect notes for a draft using backlinks 2. Place the notes on the page using block-references 3. Rephrase a block - but keep link to original note by using markdown alias []() youtu.be/Ag_22rnauts

I think transclusion might be a bit of a footgun here. I find that the raw material I write in daily notes is a good starting place for evergreen notes, but almost always needs a rewrite when moving up the ladder, particularly when spread across multiple days.

Which is why wrapping block refs in aliases - [*](((blockid))) is interesting Can still trace origin of idea as you refine it. Workflow we could make much faster/smoother But feels good having the links between stages of a thought
