How I Organize My Brain

Everything centers around the Daily Note. Hotkeys are used to create files for tasks that happen regularly and queries in the Daily Note link everything that's important for that day.

I track projects, people, tasks, meetings, interviews. Everything is linked back to the day it happened.

I also use this for some light journaling as well as a way to prepare for my day by answering a few general questions as I start my day and when I end my day.
