Bear tags structure

This is how I approach, and the current version, of my Bear tags setup for the purposes of ยง My note taking system.

Overall approach

Have a set number of top-level parent tags, and specify here what type of note each represents, or whether it has some other type of use.

  • buffer - Categories
  • clipping - Clippings
  • daily - need to remove
  • date - Specify a date for the note when useful. For Fleeting notes only
  • journal - Fleeting Notes
  • personal - Categories
  • tag - Tags
  • topic - Topic Notes

Categories - limited to 2 levels of hierarchy, after top level.

  • i.e. buffer -> reviews -> 2018, or buffer -> product -> feedback

Current actual structure

Working section

To add:

These are absolute top level tags:

  • Topic
  • Tag
  • Date
  • Clippings

And these are additional / multiples:

  • buffer - Category
  • personal - Category
  • journal - Fleeting
  • meeting - Fleeting
  • scratchpad - Fleeting
