Things I have tried
What I’m trying to do
I’ve just stumbled across the idea of “Maps of Content”. At first, I didn’t see the advantage but after building Obsidian out a little, I can totally see how they’re helpful.
For example, I used to use folders like this:
PROJECT 1
Note 1
Note 2
PROJECT 1 - Meetings
Note 1
Note 2
Which made quickly finding things difficult because the number of folders kept increasing. Now I have a single MOC which is basically a single note called “PROJECT 1” and within that note it might look something like this:
MEETINGS
STATUS Updates
Note 1
Note 2
CALLS
Note 1
Note 2
In doing it this way, everything I need is in a single note and I have an overview of my project. To create a new note – say I have a third CALL, I can go to the CALLS section, go below Note 2 and type [[Note 3]] and create the note I need. The Note 3 note is not in a folder, just at the root of the vault, and my MOC keeps track of everything for me.
The question is, over the course of time with multiple projects and categories, the number of MOC’s will grow quite a lot.
Does one reach a point where too many (ie. too granular) on the MOC’s becomes problematic? Is there another way I could approach this?
