#type/zk/zettel #a/maturity/seed # [[How to tend to your knowledge garden]] One of the big benefits of the [[Zettelkasten]] structure is [[Serendipity]] between your own ideas. You can talk with past versions of yourself. But this becomes difficult if you leave clutter in there and cut some dead branches from time to time. Don't worry about trying to keep everything, and keeping [[Folgezettel order is immutable|folgezettels immutable]]. Keep a Git version history so that you can see how your plants grew, and then keep growing and altering ideas. If you realize something is wrong, change it in place. Add conclusions to old ideas. For example, before I thought that [[Folgezettel]]s should be immutable. I don't think that anymore, so it would be good to edit the note where I drew that conclusion, and alter the conclusion based on new arguments. - Give your zettels [[Sunlight and nutrients (knowledge garden)|sunlight and nutrients]]. - [[Judging the maturity of a note|Judge the maturity of notes]] to give each note the right tag. - [[Case for a non-Luhmann style note organization]] --- Date:: [[2023-07-22|2023-07-22]] Sources:: Continuation:: Branches:: [[Maturity of notes]] See also:: [[Middle way between immutability and flexibility in a Zettelkasten]] Further reading::
