I wrote up some notes on Active Directory. I’m not sure if I am using the RemNote system efficiently. Please could you take a look and give me some tips?
I have no knowledge about the subject, so I’m going purely off your share and assuming you want both notes and flashcards and you do not have access to aliases.
There is no need to make plural versions of concepts unless they are meaningfully different from singular. You can just slap an s at the end of references. Assuming Forest is topmost in the hierarchy of others, and you only want a keynote for an overview rather than a flashcard, here’s how I’d handle it.
Optionally, you could right click the references and show their contents instead.
Acronyms and their expanded versions could easily be added as children to their concepts with a universal descriptor at the front for easy recognition. You could then tag them as extra card detail if you don’t need to be tested on them or make them into flashcards first, then into extra card detail once you have sufficiently internalised them (you may also consider writing them into the parent rem for easy at-a-glance access through hierarchical search at that point, but this will obviously give away the answer for backwards cards of the parents). See examples of all variants.
There is no need to add extra questions that are already handled by the concept cards. e.g. this question
is exactly the same as the backwards card of this concept (after a bit of a rewrite for clarity, perhaps), just activate it
Don’t create cards from things that should be extra card details, e.g. this “example” should either be tagged as ##extra card detail or remade into an open-ended card once you can link the list of policies to its back (so you are asking yourself to provide an example from a list rather than for a specific one you will have no way of pinpointing in a year).
I also find it more convenient to place any resource links folded under the title rather than at the bottom, so when you zoom into a topic from a search you can quickly expand them or leave them as they are and just look at your notes.
Hopefully you found these tips helpful, you asked for efficiency, so I focused on cutting down duplicates and merging what can be merged, I’m sorry I can’t be more help with the actual contents.
