Separation of independent logical units

Edit

A note should be assigned to exactly one topic.

Examples of topics in this system are:

  • Thought Tank: thoughts on the implementation of the Zettelkasten in the Thought Tank tool

A slip box has only a few, large topics. With a Tag you can further structure your Zettelkasten.

Thought Tank uses topics to create largely independent contexts.
