Notes should be densely linked

When writing permanent zettelkasten-style notes then composing notes is done by making links between them. Creating relationships between ideas builds context, and understanding requires an idea to have context.

This all comes together to suggest that notes should be linked to each-other as much as possible. More links will also increase the ease of navigation and encourage serendipity

One way to make this go easier is to find a way to collect contextual backlinks automatically.

Backlinks

• Start notes with context
  • Lastly, adding context in this way gives lots of opportunities to link to other related concepts - and your notes should be densely linked
