- Reference: General Reference notes (i.e. Citations, Sources, and Work Reference Materials)
- Resources: Resourceful notes such as embedded websites, highlights from Readwise, etc.
- Slipbox: The main folder of the vault. Houses all of my notes in a Zettelkasten manner.
- Fleeting Notes: Notes that are pre-mature and ephemeral
- Literary Notes: Notes representing external ideas and knowledge that I have captured.
- Permanent Notes: Notes that are considered Evergreen, i.e., notes that I have curated and formulated
- Concept Notes: Notes that are just describing or defining a concept or idea.
- Structural Notes: Structure notes are notes that organize other notes
