Ask HN: How do you make your notes useful?
I am curious, if you take lots of notes on what you learn, how do you structure them so the information is easily accessible and useful for review?
I came across the slipbox method from the book How to Take Smart Notes. I have been trying to apply this with the Obsidian app. But when I want to go back and look over the notes, there just does not seem like a surefire way to review them.

I even store code snippets in there, under the `code` tag so I never lose all those precious snippets. I also do bullet journaling, so an example would be: - Signup for Mastodon - Post more photos to Instagram - Experiment with ChatGPT
