How to link notes usefully in Obsidian

A link earns its place when it explains a relationship you may need again.

  1. 01

    Link at the point of meaning

    Connect a claim, decision, source, person or project where it supports the sentence.

  2. 02

    Name the relationship

    Write why the linked note supports, contradicts or extends the current one.

  3. 03

    Review orphan notes

    Connect useful isolated notes or archive those with no continuing role.
