Note Tips and Best Practices#

Write in plain language: Notes are for your future self. Avoid jargon you might forget.

Tag consistently: Establish a tagging taxonomy early and stick to it. Review tags periodically with noteleaf note tags.

Link liberally: Reference related notes, tasks, and articles using markdown links and references.

Short, focused notes: Better to have many small notes than few giant ones. Easier to link and reuse.

Regular review: Schedule time to review notes, add tags, create links, and archive outdated content.

Edit immediately: If you notice incomplete or unclear notes, edit them now. Stale notes lose value.

Use your editor: Configure your favorite editor with markdown plugins for better syntax highlighting and live preview.

Backup regularly: While notes are files, backup both the notes directory and the database to preserve metadata.

Experiment with formats: Try different note structures (journal, zettelkasten, topic-based) to find what works for you.

For CLI command reference, run noteleaf note --help or open the contextual help inside the TUI.
