Thanks for asking! I have become an infinitely better human and friend since starting.

I used Roam, but would like to migrate to Logseq for reasons of privacy and self-sovereignty :)

My most helpful meta tags are:

[[People I Meet]] for quick descriptions of everyone I meet, even if they don't get their own page

[[versus]] for dualities I notice and want to track, like [[expansion vs collapse]] [[away vs toward]] [[linear vs cloud narrative]] etc

[["as" metaphors]] metaphors that return a lot, like [[religion as seed]] or [[god as hologram]] or [[empathy as gravity]] etc

[[reminds me of]] which I sometimes use to make connection, but often just crossed

[[self comment]] for tracking my comments around the internet

[[new tag]] for tracking when a significant new tag occurs to me for first time

[[methinks]] (for my inline thoughts on articles whose content I paste into a page, which I do for most things I read, so I can always find the content that shapes me, and my own thoughts/highlights in relation to that)

[[toread]] [[towatch]] for books and films/video

[[tears]] [[fears]] [[fave snacks]] [[star sign]] [[faves]] and a "family" bullet for things that are important in their family life.

And every day, my optional top-level bullets are: todos, finds, logs, thoughts (pretty much everything fits under these, and most under "logs", because I like to track context of where I was, who I was with)

I started just using logs every day to keep track of things I did, because during pandemic I felt like I was doing nothing at all every day except being depressed. Everything grew from that :)
