Tags: #note-taking # Don't Use Categories Brains are engines of association, so ideas tend to relate to other ideas and form an organic network. When you use categories, you're trying to provide a structure for your ideas, but that's not the way ideas are naturally. So, instead of using categories, give your notes metadata and let the network form naturally. You'll never do as good of a job categorizing as the network that will emerge from a more natural process. Source: https://zettelkasten.de/posts/no-categories/
