So, the question is, why atomic notes in the first place? BackgroundĪs far as I know, this is a decades old solution originating in the Zettelkasten method, to help us create meaningful connections in our note base. This is not necessarily everyone else’s experience (yet), but I feel that this problem is intertwined with the impossible definition of “atomic note”, and eventually everybody would run in the unresolved atomic question. This opinion actually stems from my personal experience with evergreenish notes, which led my past self to create hundreds of notes in a increasingly specific manner, to the point where there was little text involved apart from the 2-lines long titles. I didn’t find a lot of debate about their effectiveness on the contrary, they’re usually proposed as a clever solution. In the last months I’ve come to question whether atomic notes are actually a rational choice in the obsidian environment.
