In this note and elsewhere
I strongly associate the concept of PKM
and effective note-taking in general
with the use of [hypertext](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext).
Notes you don't reference are useless and,
short of reading your entire collection every few weeks,
liberal use of links is the best way to increase availability.

### 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.
