The site need to be simple and intuitive. 1. anything in featured should have a o 2. anything in `Relationship`, `Health`, `Finance`, `Lifestyle` need to be related to me 3.

Use wikilink only when two notes have high level of relativeness. 1. the reason why use as a least wikilink as possible is that we want to reduce management overhead. What is valuable is the learning but not the management. In the future, we might be able to use AI to create backlinks between notes. 2. only use link when 1. the relationship is certain, or 2. you definitely want to group them in the graph view, e.g. the daily notes 5. don't store attachments in the obsidian, use cloud 6. never copy and paste to obsidian. Things on the internet are information, things inside obsidian should be knowledge. Knowledge is things that digested. Therefore should not copy and paste. 7. Try your best to install non-intrusive plugin only. Anything that force you to change your structure, don't install it. 8.
