Note refactoring
Note refactoring
Category: maintenance habit
Summary: The process of improving existing notes by rewriting, splitting, merging, linking, or clarifying them.
What it means
Note refactoring keeps a knowledge base usable as understanding changes. It is how rough captures become better thinking.
How it shows up in personal knowledge management
It connects to evergreen-notes, atomic-notes, emergent-structure, aliases, and review-workflow.
Common mistakes
- Refactoring endlessly instead of producing output.
- Changing notes without preserving context or source links.
