8# Note Tips and Best Practices
9
10**Write in plain language**: Notes are for your future self. Avoid jargon you might forget.
11
12**Tag consistently**: Establish a tagging taxonomy early and stick to it. Review tags periodically with `noteleaf note tags`.
13
14**Link liberally**: Reference related notes, tasks, and articles using markdown links and references.
15
16**Short, focused notes**: Better to have many small notes than few giant ones. Easier to link and reuse.
17
18**Regular review**: Schedule time to review notes, add tags, create links, and archive outdated content.
19
20**Edit immediately**: If you notice incomplete or unclear notes, edit them now. Stale notes lose value.
21
22**Use your editor**: Configure your favorite editor with markdown plugins for better syntax highlighting and live preview.
23
24**Backup regularly**: While notes are files, backup both the notes directory and the database to preserve metadata.
25
26**Experiment with formats**: Try different note structures (journal, zettelkasten, topic-based) to find what works for you.

28For CLI command reference, run `noteleaf note --help` or open the contextual help inside the TUI.
