Title notes to cover the full content of the note

A zettelkasten-style note's title becomes your main interface to it once it is part of your collection, so it's important to title your note well. A note title should cover every aspect of the notes content without feeling strange.

This is a useful acid test for the granularity of the note. If the content of the notu adds no value beyond the title, the note is likely too focused. If the title feels overly general or there's content in the note that resists being titled with the rest of the note then the note is likely too broad.
