Part of the second mind journey is the building of long term notes. What is the difference between a "Permanent" and an "Evergreen" note? This difference is nuanced, but in my view, important.
I came across your channel whilst looking into possibly adopting a Zettelkasten system, and have enjoyed your enthusiastic (amateur) open-minded approach. On the topic of Permanent vs Evergreen - is the latter not just a form of a 'Fleeting' note ? In the same way you warned against 'Death by Categories' in a previous episode, should we not avoid too many note 'types' ? I see 'Evergreen' notes as simply a subset of Fleeting notes - that you have not been fully developed, and/or you are likely to add to. Whereas a 'Permanent' note is a former Fleeting note that you have reviewed, refined (perhaps iteratively) and then classified. . I do have a number of questions for you, but will save these until after completing the last few of your Zettelkasten videos. Many thanks 👍& greetings from across the pond 🇬🇧...
Great explanation. Thank you
