It'll go more in depth on physical zettelkasten naming conventions and be more informed ☺️ Something I didn't mention: if you want to adopt a "software-agnostic philosophy" within your zettelkasten - meaning you don't rely on just Obsidian - then you might want to start with a time-date stamp. that way, if you choose to rename file names in the future, you don't risk them being the same. Obsidian automatically notifies me if I'm trying to name a note the same thing as one that always exists, though, so I don't worry about it.
