- Excerpts (for summaries and excerpts from books and articles)
- Snippets (for code snippets, formulas, etc)
- Reports (for results of research on a subject, e.g. learning new API)
- Papers (copies of research papers)
Dividing notes in such a way also helps to review them with varying frequency. For example, snippets get outdated often (e.g. workarounds for bugs or polyfills) so I have to go over them more often. Reports get updated as I learn new things about a particular subject that has its report. Excerpts are updated only if I decide to re-read the material they cover and extend them. Papers last as long as I'm interested in subject.
