 It speaks to the highly personal nature of PKM that, of these hundreds,
 there is no consensus larger than two on best practice.

+### My Advice
+
+#### Write Literally Everything
+
+Plain text is too cheap to have high standards.
+Write dumb ideas, write about trivial conversations,
+write anything you can make two sentences out of.
+
+When you don't yet know your goals for your vault
+this is how you figure out how it can help you,
+but you should never stop doing this.
+
+I recommend setting up timestamped notes
+to make this workflow as easy as possible.
+Naming topics is one of the hardest parts of PKM
+and the more it can be avoided the better
+as far as I'm concerned.
+
+#### Use Version Control
+
+In service to my preferred method of moving fast and breaking stuff,
+[[git]] allows me to make massive changes to my vault,
+including deleting entire files that have gone stale,
+without fear of regret,
+because what's lost can always be recovered.
+
+To get the most benefit out of git,
+commit your changes at least once a day.
