What notes do you find yourself on most often? (kbin.melroy.org)

Whether you just refer to them, or you continuously edit them. Asking because it's always fun to hear about other peoples' use cases and experiences with Obsidian. And because I was thinking about some reference notes I made that I do not actually use for one reason or another, but it boils down to something like this: https://xkcd.com/1205/. I miscalculated how much pain or time making the reference resource would save me. That note gets 0 visits. Meanwhile, other notes I made get near-daily references, and I feel so glad that I made that note because it makes my life a little easier or better.

I have a few evergreen notes that I update as needed, but the most frequent one is simply a list of what books I have on preorder and when they're expected to ship. I have a book buying problem.

Otherwise most of my notes don't get referenced often because they're stores of knowledge, not items related to active projects. I have several reference docs for fiction writing and DnD that I reference and update often because I work on those projects often, but my note on the Zanclean Flood is just obviously not going to come up almost ever. But writing is how I learn, so I wrote about it 🤷
