Using emacs as a study environment
If, like me, OP is a little slap-dash, happy-go-lucky, can't-decide-what-to-use, lazy, or uncoordinated, https://github.com/jrblevin/deft is a pretty handy package.

nvALT 2
For (neo)vim users, there's notational fzf [1], which also requires fzf to be installed [2]. For Emacs, there's Deft [3]. They all what to me are nvalt's core functionality which is fuzzy search into quick note creation/editing. They can also be used in conjunction with nvalt or other markdown based applications since all of them use plaintext. For Deft, you can also choose to create .org files.

Zettelkasten Options
Honestly I've been in the same boat as you for ages and have even tried writing my own zettelkasten packages here and there on top of things like deft (I started with zetteldeft, which shows).

Question: How to move lots of org-files into org-roam?
Is there an easy way to move a ton of org files into org-roam? I've used just a flat directory of org files that I've searched with the excellent Deft package for years, and I'd like to give org-roam a whirl. Is there an easy way to import all those notes in bulk? (Don't all notes need an ID?)
