|
|
|
|
|
- Reference material? → 03_Resources/
|
|
|

## Organization Principles
|
|
|
|
|
- Inbox is temporary - process weekly
|
|
|
|
|
- One idea per note (atomic notes)
|

|
|
|
- Flat structure over deep nesting (max 4 levels for new notes)
|

|
|
|
- Use links not folders for relationships

|
## Clipper Boundary
|
|
|
|
|
- `04_Archive/Inbox-Clippings/**` permanently uses the web clipper schema (`date`/`page-title`/`url`). Never migrate.
