TL;DR
- Configuration
- Work
- Life: free time wasting for a better life
Welcome my second brain I tried to build with obsidian & quartz. I used logseq before and now I give it up, which is the reason why some part of notes is ugly and wired1.
Anyway, wish you have a fun time. That would be my pleasure.
Why choose work & life classify?
The hard truth is, we’re spending the most time of life to work.2 During this time, solving business problems is the main subject.
Persistent store
Considered working business, the part of working should not be open-source, they deserved a private repository.
Then you should take care avoiding the wrong second brain, because notes should not be your trash inbox, which always make your system growing up, with high entropy increases, until they being a black hole.
So dealing problem with project is the main subject for this notes, which should have a certain deadline.
PKM announcement: Soft rules
Whatever you’re using, the half life of something (such as rules) is not changed fast. I would try my best to build it to a evergreen tree. 3
IMPORTANT
Using syntax sugar as less as possible.
Such like macros
/ properties::
/ org-mode
/ task management
on logseq, wikitext
/ embed tweet/youtube as image
on obsidian as well.
Page naming
- Use
-
to connect two word rather blank for readable url. - Use plural of noun to separate different pages
- using
book
to talk something topic. - using
books/xxx
to talk something specific.
- using
- Don’t add the
[[]]
inpage_name
- Never renaming page name after
git commit
.- the pain of renaming on git is high, which means the history would be lost at all.
Properties
Keep order, dictionary order is the best.
Template
- Every main topic page should have a template.
- All template properties should extend
page
.- Keep adding less properties as much as possible.
Tags
Using #[[]]
instead of #
. They would be popped menu friendly, while editing again.
Hierarchy
Hierarchy/Namespace is not silver bullet. Delay your use of namespaces until you have refined your understanding of how they might suit your workflows. 4

If you are a student, or someone else, the work could be something you worked for living. Whether they should separate with space time, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. At least in China, space time always conflicts with work, so talking about that is always ambiguous… ↩

Maybe the flow you have to change in next version, or the problem maybe solved, it’s really not have too much value. ↩
