# Folder Structure This note explains the rationale for the folder structure of my vault. Note: Everything communicated by a file’s location will also be represented by tags in the document. Therefore if it the vault were to transition to having a flat file structure without folders, all of the information from the folder structure will remain intact. Six main folders: - Areas - Projects - Concepts - Resources - Meta - Archive ## Areas Areas are spaces to work on broad domains of your life with no deadline. Currently these include: - Learning Japanese - Conversation Culture - Sashin Exists ## Projects Projects are temporary, they have well-defined goals that can be achieved in a finite period of time. Current projects include: - Writing the article: A secular morality - Being able to comprehend “We are” - The Audiobooks Radio website on behalf of Maria ## Concepts This folder along with the resources folder make your Zettelkasten. It is filled with tagged, linked, atomic, evergreen notes designed to maintain and increase in value over time. ## Resources The second of the Zettelkasten boxes. All of these are literature notes divided into different folders based on type. There are not being managed in Obsidian, they are managed in Zotero. A script I wrote takes a better bibtex file generated by Zotero and makes nice Obsidian notes based on them. ## Meta All information pertaining to how the vault is structured and used is here. This is the “documentation” for this obsidian vault and includes this document. The way the vault is structured and used as well as the workflows that come from it are not meant to be static, but rather constantly evolving. As such the information in the meta folder will be updated as I improve my structure. ## Archive A place to store projects and concepts that are not currently active. As per the PARA framework, projects and notes can be freely archived and unarchived at a whim. Within the Archive folder is one called “backburner” which is where projects that are inactive temporarily go.
