note templates for templater

as mentioned by [[ nick milo ]] [[ linking your thinking ]] video series and his original forum post, ideas and knowledge are often organised by the acronym [[ stir ]] , which was originally created by include speaker name as the term [[ latch ]]

in simpler terms, latch refers to:

  1. location
  2. alphabet
  3. time
  4. category
  5. hierarchy (or continuum)

[[ nick milo ]] represents them as stir:

  1. space
  2. time
  3. importance
  4. relatedness

essentially consolidating the different headspace’s that we jump between when managing ideas and knowledge. so in order to increase the chances of [[ serendipitous connections ]] to be possible, having properties of notes at the very minim cover areas of stir.

although it is easy to fall into the trap of [[ productive procrastination ]] and spend more time [[ working in properties instead of the content ]] of a note, here are some rules or creative constraints i tend to have for my notes.
