Today we talk about FOLDERS, TAGS, and STRCUTURE NOTES (or maps of content/MOC) and how I use them in Obsidian to organize my zettelkasten. Eventually you'll get to a point in your note-taking with the zettelkasten system when your knowledge is too cluttered to be useful. What then? In this video I share how I've started organizing my notes, but many others are farther along in this process than I am and have shared their experience on YouTube as well! Here's a few other videos I've found helpful...
Chris J Wilson made a great video for general rules of thumb when it comes to tags, folders, and links: youtube.com/watch?v=fwO8LzH9q3I
Nick Milo talks about the “Mental Squeeze Point” and bottom-up organization: youtube.com/watch?v=WUq8Pun28FI
Bryan Jenks talks about how he uses tags and links, with special attention to GRAPH VIEW, something I don’t use much yet: youtube.com/watch?v=zIh1S7ra3aI
