Table of Contents
I use Zettelkasten via org-roam to manage 15+ years of org notes. Following Jethro Kuan's slip box approach, notes are organised into four directories:
- main - Quick thoughts and snippets
- reference - Ideas from books, articles, and other sources
- article - Long-form content: paper reviews, essays, synthesis of multiple notes
- project - GTD-style task management, kept separate so org-agenda doesn't scan thousands of zettels
Publishing
Notes are published to a static blog using ox-publish. The setup can be found here.
Two outputs are generated:
- Public (
public/) — only files taggedpublishare included, deployed to my site. - Private (
private/) — full local preview including drafts, never committed
Three tags control publishing behaviour:
publish |
Include in the public blog |
sitemapignore |
Publish the HTML but exclude from the sitemap |
notitle |
Suppress the <h1> title in the exported HTML |
Emacs Config
org-roam setup: my-org-roam.el. org-agenda uses ripgrep to surface TODOs from project files only.
