Organization

Maps of Content

A MOC is a curated index of notes on a topic - not a folder list, a table of contents I write by hand.

Tags, categories, dates, aliases - metadata should help me find notes, not become a second job.

Organization in PKM isn't a perfect tree - it's enough structure to find things when life gets loud.

PARA is how I sort notes by life responsibility - not by topic alphabet soup. Four buckets, clear questions.

Archive isn't delete. It's moving finished work out of active PARA so today's projects breathe.

Ideas have lifecycles: capture, active use, evergreen, decay, archive. PKM should match the stage.
