#### Simplicity of structure allows complexity of content --- When using a personal wiki or [[Zettelkasten]] for managing an interlinked body of content, the approach of not assigning a strict organizational hierarchy on the body of content and instead allowing the structure emerge naturally allows for organic growth of the body of work and less initial friction to "just getting started". This also reduces the feeling that you need to make something fit into the existing structure and instead just lets you link to the other ideas and let the structure emerge as the body of content evolves. A more bottom up approach to organization. The human brain isn't a square so our organizational approach to this "second brain" cannot feasibly be just as linear. --- Tags: [[Zettelkasten]] - [[Organization]] References: [[{ 2020-09-09 How To Take Smart Notes]] Related: - [[People tend to try to impose structure on their body of content in order to reduce complexity but this ends up inviting more of it]]
