Restructuring Old Notes (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

When reinventing the wheel and coming up with a new clever way to structure notes or new info to add to the YAML, how do you treat your old notes?

Do you go back and apply the new format or do you just leave them as is only looking forward?

If you revisit old notes, do you have a strategy?

I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Thank you! This is pretty much how I go about it, but the manual work load is still great.

In my case it is the adoption of LATCH, a concept I only encountered after I had already been using Obsidian for some time. Not to mention that my LATCH template already changed once or twice, until I found what works for me, but this still leaves the possibility open for future changes to it and another round of mass edits. Deciding on a more fundamental level, if and how or if at all I should address these changes is a question that I have not yet found a decisive answer to.
