Daily Page Pattern

The Daily Page Pattern consists of creating a page named [[YYYYMMDD]] that collects all of the notes for a given day.

See Zettelkasten/Patterns/Daily Page Pattern for a detailed explanation of the pattern.

See 20160101 for an example of what a daily page looks like.

Monthly Template Pattern

The Monthly Pattern consists of a special month template, consisting of the month and year (like {{January2016}} for example) that contains links to all of the daily pages for that month.

See Zettelkasten/Patterns/Monthly Template Pattern for a detailed explanation of the pattern.

See {{January2016}} for an example of what a daily page looks like.

Page Organization Patterns

We use three patterns to help pages stay organized and keep from becoming scattered:

  • Reserve top-level headers for meta-level page organization (different sections for different uses of the page)
  • Take notes chronologically in a top-level Notes section
  • Move information to sub-pages as it accumulates or requires more room

See Zettelkasten/Patterns/Page Organization for a detailed explanation of these patterns.
