<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>tl;dr; Do most people set their org-roam-directory to be the same as org-dictionary? And those that do not - why not?</p> <p>I have used pure org for my note taking & TODOs so far. However I do think I would benefit from org-roam/zettelkasten for subset of what I need - keeping a personal knowledge base (debugging history, analyzing problems, keeping track of stuff that has a potentially longer-term benefit, more wishy-washy "plans").</p> <p>What triggered this question was the fact that org-roam does not reuse org directory but has a separate variable for its roam directory. So I wondered if there was a reason to have org files that are not also roam files. One reason that came up was that the number of roam files can grow significantly and org-agenda would get slower and slower. So...</p> <p>My current setup idea is this:</p> <ul> <li>I separate out org files from roam (or rather have roam files in a subdirectory of org directory)</li> <li>Use roam for knowledge-base, journal etc</li> <li>I generally won't do TODOs etc in roam files, but instead have a TODOs/Schedules in ordinary org (and these files are going to be part of agenda files)</li> </ul> <p>Basically - use org-roam for idea/note taking that might or might not be related to tasks but don't actually mix tasks into the zettels. Zettels could be referenced/linked to from tasks if needed (i.e. if some information/knowledge could be useful to get the task done)</p> <p>I read through <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/hg2m5s/zettelkastenorgroamorgbrain_is_crap/">https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/hg2m5s/zettelkastenorgroamorgbrain_is_crap/</a> as an example of discussion of problems/benefits (though I realize that's for roam v1 and quite out of date I expect most problems to be the same currently).</p> <p>Does anyone use a similar split? How is it? What would I miss (I can imagine referencing agenda items from zettels might be useful etc). If you think I should just merge the two and use org-roam - how do you deal with agenda? Fixed set of agenda files (subset of roam files)?</p> <p>Hope the above makes sense...</p> <p>​</p> <p>Edit: Added TL;DR</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/podtatranec"> /u/podtatranec </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/q7yqxi/org_orgroam_conceptual_setupsplit_question/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/q7yqxi/org_orgroam_conceptual_setupsplit_question/">[comments]</a></span> |
