Sorry I didn’t explain it very well. If I applied my logic to your system here’s what files I’d end up with:
Filename - Theme of Content
21.11 - Movies I have Watched
21.12 - Music I Have Liked
21.13 - Museums I have Visited
Kubrick1987 - My main note for Full Metal Jacket the movie
Lynch1977 - My main note for Eraserhead the movie
Mann2004 - My main note for Collateral the movie
Example content of what’s inside a file:
21.11 - Movies I have Recently Watched
2025-03-03 - [[Lynch1977]] - This time it raised my curiosity ; what deformity am I protecting from the world? Is the world uglier on the inside than the outside? How do we choose what we protect?
2025-03-02 - [[Kubrick1987]] - I like how this movie was split in two
2025-03-01 - [[Mann2004]] - I love noir films
2025-02-28 - [[Lynch1977]] - I didn’t understand what Lynch was saying at all
Lynch1977 - Eraserhead

My note taking app automatically turns [] into links and organizes them at the footer of the note being linked. All I have to do is write naturally. So my trick of using lastnameYEAR as the file name then allows me to write naturally in every moment, but have every fact searchable bi-directionally. It also allows me to “accidentally” years later write the same lastnameYEAR and realize I’ve already listened to album or read a particular short story.
