Evergreen notes

Epistemic status: A very barebones description for a concept that is better established in my head than it is here. Others have written about it at length and I'm not sure I have a lot to add on the subject.

Evergreen notes, as coined by Andy Matuschak and exemplified by Andy’s Working Notes, are meant to be “never done”, atomic containers for concepts or ideas. Titles can be as descriptive as necessary, and they’re meant to be linked together: one evergreen note can unfold into dozens more, as the process of writing and the thinking evolves.

How I use evergreen notes is, likewise, a developing process, but at least I think they fit my mental model a little better than The Zettelkasten Method.
