 Some of these techniques may be familiar to you, others may be novel due to the *idiosyncracies about how my own mind works*. I'll do my best to explain all of my philosophies and lived experience in the creation of this vault. Some techniques, processes and plugins are built into the platform. Other techniques leverage powerful external softwares to greatly enhance the Obsidian experience. I'll argue for those as they come as well as provide potential alternatives.

+## Zettelkasten
+
+*Zettelkasten*, German for slip box, is the metaphorical glue that holds ideas together. Zettelkasten is a loose but exteremely powerful structure, and a system with few [hard and fast rules that can scale magnificently](https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/).
+
+These rules are:
+1. Unique Identifier as filenames
+2. Atomic content -- one note roughly equals one coherent thought
+3. Links, tags, and citations > including the knowledge in the note itself
+
+Fortunately for us, Zettelkasten is a core feature of the Obsidian workflow. The core plugin Unique Note Creator will take care of creating IDs. Plugins like Footnote Shortcut and Zotero Plugin make citing external resources breeze. This allows you as the author to focus on two things:
+
+1. Is this note atomic? 
+2. What will I link it to?
+
+In BHOV-2023, Zettlekasten is responsible for ideas and notes that don't fit cleanly into the `Projects` or `Archive` folders of [PARA](#para). In other words, evergreen knowledge that forms your lattice of thinking, but doesn't have specific utility. In BHOV-2023, the goal of the Zettelkasten is to serve as puzzle pieces to help us Express (the E in [CODE](#code)) ourselves.
+
+Notes like [[202212090137]] and [[202212090136]] live in the root directory, but have tags that serve as "buckets". The page preview plugin allows us to hover over the notes and see what's inside (if you're reading this in Obsidian, go ahead and give it a try!)
+
+When creating a new file in BHOV-2023, by default it will automatically create it to the Zettelkasten spec. A single Zettelkasten is referred to as a Zettel, so each note is tagged with #zettel by default in BHOV-2023.

+## Digital Gardening
+
+If Zettelkasten is the planting of the seed of a single idea, *Digital Gardening* is the maintnence of the whole. It is the work of groundskeeping the entire vault, and finding utility in the edges. 
+
+We can ease the "writers' block" of deciding which notes to upkeep by leveraging **Random Note Review**, which will surface three notes to review in our Daily Note.
+
+```
+<%* const files = app.vault.getFiles(); const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (files.length - 1)); const random2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * (files.length - 1)); const random3 = Math.floor(Math.random() * (files.length - 1)); const randomNote = files[random]; const randomNote2 = files[random2]; const randomNote3 = files[random3] -%>
+
+- [ ] [[<% randomNote.basename %>]]
+- [ ] [[<% randomNote2.basename %>]]
+- [ ] [[<% randomNote3.basename %>]]
+
+<%* const todayIs = tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>
+```
+
+The side benfit of all this work is that it publishable! Since a garden is a collection of linked and curated thoughts, a published garden serves as a public utility similar to maintained gardens in the real world. Visitors can meander around your thought garden, stopping to marvel at the hydraengeas, or beelining straight for the mini pagoda and water feature in the corner. 
+
+Later, we'll address how to seperate private and public, but for now, assume any note that you do the work to Zettelkasten, will eventually have some sort of public value.
