start to think about a simple one level hierarchy system for notes #31

See the recommendation here. https://blog.viktomas.com/posts/slip-box/

The top level should be the slipbox but lower levels can contain things like tasks per project. This is a big change and runs the risk of immediately overcomplicating the system. But currently it feels like there are too many notes that are irrelevant being placed in the slipbox. I want a place to scratch things out, and a place to add to the slipbox. Keeping them separate is creating friction and making it so the slipbox isn't growing.

In Sonke Ahrens there are three types of notes.

Fleeting Notes - reminders can be thrown away in a day or two Permanent Notes - never thrown away. these go into the slipbox Project Notes - relevant to a project. can be discarded at the end of the project.

Vik Tomas uses the following strategy. He splits resources and permanent notes. Resources could be used as zotero citations. Permanent notes could be wiki links. Resources could link to the slipbox but the slipbox should not link to resources.

├── Resources
│   └── Sonke Ahrens - How to Take Smart Notes.md
└── Permanent notes
    ├── 20200605145305 Slip-box software.md
    └── 20200605153129 Slip-box.md

In addition I would want to have a folder for fleeting notes. These are things like meeting notes etc.

Closing this out in favor of the fileManager solution proposed in #49.
