Linking by Meaning
Table of Contents
I link notes so ideas meet in the graph without me memorizing every folder path.
Key Concept
Folders sort. Links think.
I stopped trying to memorize every filename and started wiring Atomic Notes so ideas bump into each other in the graph. One link to what extends the thought, one to what pushes back - that's enough for the garden to be walkable six months later when the folder path is gone.
Examples
- I linked “jeepney delay” to “leave earlier” in my daily note and found it six weeks later when the same route broke again - proximity beats perfect filing.
- The playbook card links “late press” to “Slow the Moment” - I find the counter without memorizing every filename in the binder.
