This is a quick write up on how I use Folders and Tags to organize my work notes.
I build software for lots of different projects, my day job, /tap, other moonlighting, and random curiosities. In the course of work for these projects and a strong habit browsing Hacker News, I encounter a lot of interesting things online.
So much of the useful posts and pages I encounter are important to all of my projects but particularly important to one. To organize a note that relates to a programming concept I always file it in the folder it is immediately applicable to, for example /tap
and I add a tag #proglog
.
Something like this:
Separately I have an Email Digest Spell set up to email me all the #proglog
notes Saturday morning when I'm likely to read through technical material.
