Mostly some version of 2. Or more specifically, I have a lot of top-level note documents with somewhat clear titles and organizations. And then there are a lot of "thing to remember" snippets that frequently have no obvious place, and are often related to the greater topic of multiple note documents.

One pattern that may help (without heavy re-org) is to treat those snippets as first-class items with a stable home, and only link them out:

- keep an “inbox / snippets” note (or a single folder) where every orphan snippet goes

- give each snippet a short, searchable handle (one line title)

- add 1–2 lightweight links: related topics, and optionally “why it matters / when I’d need this”

Then when you’re in a top-level doc, you can embed/query “snippets linked to this topic” instead of trying to decide the perfect location for each one.

In your case, are those “things to remember” mostly time-bound (follow up, renew, schedule), or more like evergreen reference (commands, ideas, reminders)?
