To rephrase what is explained in Page vs Tag Use Case:
- conventions matter:
- can give a productivity boost, when applied consistently
- can have the opposite effect when:
- their application is not consistent
- they are over-complicated
- hard is some concrete or non-optional info
- if removed, the core meaning of the note is altered (and often collapses)
- soft is some meta-info that adds to the status of the note, but not to its essence
- it is an attribute that can be applied without altering the note’s core meaning
- sometimes tags operate as light properties
- it is an attribute that can be applied without altering the note’s core meaning
