Im new to Obsidian and PKM, and im just experiementing but i find myself pretty aimlessly making empty notes linking them in free associations and watching the clusters grow.
Is this a waste of time? anyone else had this experience or feeling? thx

I used to do a similar type of thing. One possible workaround to avoid overdoing it and painting yourself into a very busy corner is to use tags for this instead. Perhaps even nested tags. By using tags, you have the ability to toggle off/on all these single word nodes when in graph view. There is also a distinction between tags and links if you use Dataview. I mention nested tags because if you nested all of these experimental one word tags within a parent tag, you could filter out just that parent tag from the graph view when you wanted to hide your one-worders. This way you wouldn’t have to toggle off all tags to reduce the busyness.
All in all, I think what you are doing is helpful. Back when I was doing this type of thing, I created this Plugin idea: Click word to automatically create link, note, and links out of all word occurrences in vault etc
Good luck!
Hard to say. If you’re getting something out of it, it might not be a waste of time. Sounds to me like a sort of doodling or mental exercise.
If it will likely stay Empty then I will just make a tag, otherwise if I have something I will want to reference then I will make a note and populate it later.
