This is a fun exercise. I'm still new to Zettelkasten with less than 100 notes in my Obsidian. One thing I learned while listening to Metamuse podcast episode with Andy Matuschak was the idea of using the Random Note plugin in Obsidian to generate two random notes side by side and try to make a connection. Since these are completely random, we may run into lot of noise where drawing a connection between those notes would not make any sense. There is, however, another plugin in Obsidian called Smart Random Note where you can apply filters (like, a random note in a particular folder, or a random note containing a particular tag, etc.) These can be a little more powerful to form connections where having two random notes of orthogonal topics side-by-side and then trying to form a connection.
