I tried out the PARA method, but so far it feels too involved with fiddling in the file system and I’m not really using it anymore. I use the “open file” command palette as my primary form of navigation, backlinks and other internal links secondarily, so folder organization doesn’t actually matter to me. I plan to un-PARA my folders and simplify them as much as possible so I can continue to ignore the file system organization.

I don’t follow any particular method. Rather, I’ve let my vault grow and develop over time as I’ve used it to take notes for work, do research, and document things.

My take-off points are my home page which contains links to “dashboards” for specific projects, and my daily notes. I use a lot of links and tags and have just let things develop over time. I’m a heavy “search” user and am trying to get better at inserting back links.

I don't think there is a best. For me the ACCESS method seemed to make the most sense. Fortunately Obsidian doesn't care where files are.

I think PARA is not a knowledge management system. I do not follow any system. Do the notes when think it worth it, and try to think/check/find if there are other notes I can link - this help to explore the area a bit.

I’m interested in this as well, my initial approach was to just shove everything into a note and tag things like crazy with the hope that a structure would emerge from the chaos. Shockingly this did not lead to knowledge management nirvana :)

I’ve been digging into the official forum on the subject but it’s a lot to sift.
