How to write an evergreen note in Obsidian

An evergreen note should make a useful claim that remains understandable outside its original source.

  1. 01

    Choose one idea

    Use a title that states the claim rather than a broad topic.

  2. 02

    Explain it in your words

    Write the idea, evidence, limits and why it matters.

  3. 03

    Add meaningful links

    Connect related claims and current projects with a short reason.
