I'm open sourcing some of my commonly-used (and non-proprietary) templates for others to consume and remix.\n\n## My Obsidian folder structure\nYou might be wondering why the Templates folder is called `70 - Templates`. This is because I use a simple numbering system to keep everything in order (rather than alphabetically). \n\nIf you want to copy my simple personal \"Zettelkasten\" structure:\n- 10 - Intake\n- 20 - Reference Notes\n- 30 - Files\n- 70 - Templates\n- 80 - Archives\n\nAnd here's a more complex taxonomy I use for work:\n- **0 - Intake:** Default location for new files; as they mature they usually end up in Knowledgebase or Archives.\n- **1 - Working Documents:** Similar to Intake, but it's focused around longer-form content I'm writing that I want to keep separate from other random intake items.\n- **2 - Goals:** I have a doc for weekly, quarterly, and annual goals.\n- **3 - Teams:** This is like a rolodex for team bios. I don't use it much but it was helpful when I was getting started.\n- **4 - People:** This has two subfolders: one with 1-1 notes and the other with bios (which is basically my rolodex).\n- **5 - Operational Excellence:** Documents specific to Operations / Operational Excellence.\n- **6 - Projects:** Documents specific to projects, each in its own subfolder. I don't use this much because most project work goes into collaborative wikis.\n- **60 - Knowledgebase:** This is synonymous \"Reference Notes\" in my personal system (from Zettelkasten), and contains the majority of my notes that I refer back to often.\n- **70 - Templates:** Obsidian has an excellent templating system, and I have Obsidian configured to look in this folder for my templates (which I've shared in this repo). To enable templates: Settings --\u003e Core plugins --\u003e Templates, then Settings --\u003e Templates --\u003e Template folder location.\n- **80 - Archives:** This is where I put things like post-processed meeting notes. By \"post-processed\", I mean: I create a new note for meeting notes which goes into my Intake folder. Then, ideally soon after, I briefly post-process those notes, pull out any important facts into new or existing reference notes, store those in Knowledgebase, and then I move and preserve the raw meeting notes in the Archives which are searchable.\n- **90 - Non-Indexed:** I use this for interviews, files, and other things I don't want to be indexed and clog up my search. You can configure this in Settings --\u003e Files \u0026 Links --\u003e Excluded files.\n\n## Further Learning\nI think this is a great intro to Obsidian and Zettelkasten-style note-taking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6ySG7xYgjY\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevanwon%2Fevanw-obsidian-templates","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fevanwon%2Fevanw-obsidian-templates","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevanwon%2Fevanw-obsidian-templates/lists"}
