@@ -6,4 +8,36 @@ Some of my templates depend on plugins I use:
 - [Periodic notes](https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-periodic-notes) for my daily notes
 - [Leaflet](https://github.com/javalent/obsidian-leaflet) for maps
 
-See also [my theme Minimal](https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal).
+The `.obsidian/types.json` file shows which properties are assigned to which types. Many have short names that are meant for me to remember, e.g. `start` instead of `startdate`.
+
+## Folder structure
+
+I use very few folders. I keep the root of my vault directory for things that I have created, such as journal entries
+
+- **Attachments** for images, PDFs, etc
+- **Clippings** for articles and other pages captured with my [Web Clipper](https://stephango.com/obsidian-web-clipper)
+- **Daily** for my daily notes, all in `YYYY-MM-DD.md` format
+- **References** for anything that refers to something that exists outside of my vault, e.g. books, movies, places, people, podcasts, etc.
+- **Templates** for templates. This is actually nested under "Meta" in my personal vault, but I've moved it to the top-level for clarity. Meta also contains my personal style guide and other random things that are about the vault.
+
+## Categories and tagging
+
+I primarily use the category property, e.g. `category: [[Movies]]` to organize and navigate my vault. Some rules I follow:
+
+- Always pluralize categories and tags
+- Use `YYYY-MM-DD` everywhere
+- 
+
+## Rating system
+
+Anything with a `rating` is a number that goes from 1 to 7
+
+  - 7 — **Perfect**, must try, life-changing, go out of your way to seek this out
+  - 6 — **Excellent**, worth repeating
+  - 5 — **Good**, don't go out of your way, but enjoyable
+  - 4 — **Passable**, works in a pinch
+  - 3 — **Bad**, don't do this if you can
+  - 2 — **Atrocious**, actively avoid, repulsive
+  - 1 — **Evil**, life-changing in a bad way
+
+Why this scale? I like the 7 scale better than 4 or 5 stars because I need more granularity at the top, for the good experiences, and 10 is too many.
