Q & A
¿Qué es un 'map of content' según el video?
-Un 'map of content' es un método de organización o proceso de pensamiento desarrollado por Nick Milo, que actúa como un espacio de trabajo o plataforma para acceder fácilmente a tus notas siguiendo enlaces y estructurar tus notas o darte un espacio para desarrollar un tema o idea específica.
¿Cómo se describe el núcleo de un 'map of content' en el video?
-El núcleo de un 'map of content' es una idea amplia que se desea explorar o aprender, pero que aún no tiene muchas notas asociadas, o un lugar donde se pueden reunir notas existentes para tratar de condensarlas en un conjunto coherente de pensamientos.
¿Qué es la nota de 'dashboard' en Obsidian y qué representa?
-La nota de 'dashboard' en Obsidian es la página de inicio del usuario, que en este caso incluye una estructura básica y puntos de partida para acceder a etiquetas y otros 'maps of content', así como un flujo de trabajo básico para crear notas en el vault.
¿Cómo se aborda la organización de notas en un 'map of content'?
-Se puede empezar con un enfoque de alto nivel, agregar elementos a un 'map of content', explorarlos y luego trabajar en ordenar lo que es relevante para ese mapa de contenido específico. Se pueden dejar notas relevantes, comenzar a desarrollar ideas directamente en el 'map of content' y eliminar enlaces a notas que no sean tan relevantes.
¿Cómo se relaciona el 'map of content' con la creación de 'permanent notes'?
-Después de desarrollar 'literature notes' y comenzar a estructurar algunas 'permanent notes', estos se pueden vincular en el 'map of content' correspondiente para comenzar a tener una idea coherente del tema y condensar aún más las notas en el mapa de contenido.
¿Qué es el enfoque 'top-down' en la creación de un 'map of content'?
-El enfoque 'top-down' implica tomar un área temática amplia y querer profundizar en ella, tal vez después de leer varios libros o tener muchas notas centradas en un tema específico, y luego reunir esas notas en un 'map of content' para explorar y estructurar mejor el tema.
¿Cómo se puede usar la función de búsqueda en Obsidian para crear un 'map of content'?
-Se puede buscar un tema específico dentro de Obsidian, seleccionar los enlaces relevantes a notas existentes y arrastrarlos a un nodo del 'map of content' para vincularlos y comenzar a estructurar el tema de manera más coherente.
¿Por qué es útil el 'map of content' para la organización de ideas en Obsidian?
-El 'map of content' es útil porque actúa como una herramienta estructural para ayudar a explorar ideas, profundizar en aquellas que aún no se conocen o intentar comprender y estructurar mejor las ideas que ya se han investigado, facilitando el acceso y el uso de la información en el vault.
¿Cómo se describe el proceso de desarrollo de un 'map of content' en el video?
-El proceso de desarrollo de un 'map of content' se describe como exploratorio y no hay una ciencia o fórmula detrás de él. Consiste en descubrir lo que te interesa, sumergirte en ese área temática o reunir la información en tu vault alrededor de ese tema y luego tratar de organizar o pensar en cómo estructurarlo.
¿Por qué cada 'map of content' puede ser diferente según el usuario?
-Cada 'map of content' puede ser diferente porque cada persona piensa y procesa la información de manera diferente, lo que significa que la estructura y el enfoque para organizar las ideas en el vault pueden variar significativamente de un individuo a otro.
¿Cómo se puede mejorar la accesibilidad y utilidad de las notas en el vault usando 'maps of content'?
-Mediante el uso de 'maps of content', se puede estructurar y vincular las notas de manera que se facilite el acceso y la comprensión de las ideas. Esto permite que el usuario pueda explorar y entender mejor los temas de interés, mejorando así la eficacia en el uso del vault.
¿Qué tipo de enfoque se puede usar para vincular notas existentes a un 'map of content' en Obsidian?
-Se puede utilizar la función de búsqueda en Obsidian para encontrar notas relevantes a un tema específico y arrastrar y soltar los enlaces a esos notas dentro de un 'map of content', creando así una estructura que vincula y organiza el contenido en torno a ese tema.

Transcripts
so maybe you've taken a couple hundred
notes in your obsidian vault and now
you're getting to the point
say how the heck do i organize this
stuff
hey folks my name is justin with
effective remote work and today we're
going to talk about
how to organize your vault using maps of
content
maps of content is a term or an
organizational or
thought process i guess method that was
developed by
nick milo he's the guy behind the
linking your thinking youtube channel
for the purposes of this video you can
think of maps of content essentially as
a workspace or a launchpad it's a way to
get
into your notes easily just by following
some links
to explore them but it's also a way to
structure your notes or give yourself a
workspace to be able to flesh out a
specific
topic or idea that you are working on so
at the core a map of content is really a
broad idea that you want to explore or
learn but maybe don't have very many
notes on yet
or it's a place where you can pull
together notes that you have on an
existing topic
to try to whittle those notes down into
a cohesive
set of thoughts let's dive into obsidian
so i can show you my vault and how i've
been working with maps of content lately
okay so on the screen here you can see
that i have my dashboard note up
the dashboard note is really my home
page if you visit my obsidian publish
site at notes.justintoros.com
this is what you're going to see i've
got some
loose structure here and again i'm still
fleshing this out for the holistic
picture of my
note but i've got some jump off points
to get into tags
i've got some launch points here into
some high level maps of
content and i have a very very
rudimentary
vault workflow here that kind of shows
the different tools and the processes
that i use to craft
notes inside of my vault now if i jump
into this productivity map of content
you can see
this is kind of a mess it's a work in
progress and that
is one of the benefits of taking the
maps of content
mode of thinking toward organizing your
notes
you can start off at a very high level
and you can bring things
up into a map of content you can explore
into them
basically it's a place for you to put
your ideas so that you can launch into
them
at a later point in time now what i have
done here is under productivity map of
content
i have created a header for key topics
here these are key topics that
are related to literature notes and
permanent notes that i have
in my vault then at this point in time
i've linked
all the notes that i could find that
were relating to the broad
subject area of productivity this is one
of the
ways that you can approach a map of
content you can pull information
into the map of content and then
eventually
i'm going to work on sorting this out
what's relevant to this particular map
of content
what's relevant to this broad idea of
productivity is there a
deeper subject area that i want to dive
into which we'll talk about in just a
moment
then i can start to whittle these notes
down i can leave the relevant notes
there
i can start to flesh out ideas directly
in this map of content
and i can delete links to notes that
maybe aren't as relevant
in the future so if i were to create
another map of content say i want to
take the top down approach there is a
subject that i've been interested in
lately
called time blocking so i'm going to
create a time
locking moc then what i can do when i
open that up
i will link to the productivity moc just
so that i have a
way back to it
then this is essentially a workspace
now time blocking is a subject that i've
been interested in
and so i've been reading articles about
it
and there's an excellent article on the
doist blog
uh ambition and balance that i'm going
to go take a look at
and i'll pull it up and then i'm going
to take some notes on it here so i'll be
back in just a second and i'll show you
what i have
okay so this is really just a very very
basic
start i've got this article here which
i'm going to clip the link in here
because i forgot to do that
okay so i've got this article on the
right hand side of the screen here this
time blocking by
guide by doist i've started taking some
very light literature notes on it
just to give a sense of how you might
use
a map of content to flesh out some ideas
regarding a specific topic area
as you can see i've got just a couple
thoughts here structure in your work
week can yield greater results in less
time
there are three different variations of
time blocking what this article talks
about task batching day theming and
time boxing now what i've done here in
the map of content is i've created a
link to this literature note
here then eventually once i flesh this
literature note out
and i start to flesh out some permanent
notes from that
then i'll start linking those permanent
notes over here as well
then i can start to get a cohesive idea
of what this subject means to me
and start to whittle those notes down in
here start to flesh out the ideas and
the time blocking map of content
all together now this might not be the
only way
that you want to create a map of content
there's the other way this was the
top-down approach where you take a broad
subject area and you want to dig into it
a little bit
maybe you've read a number of books on a
certain subject area
or you have a lot of notes in here that
are centered around a certain topic
and you want to bring those notes
together well there is a way to do that
that's actually pretty easy inside of
obsidian
and i'm going to talk about that
here so what i'm doing is i have this
creativity map of content
and there's a subject range uh
based upon the book range by david
epstein that is
really something that i am passionate
about so i'm going to create a
range if i can type today
not rage moc range
moc and then i'm going to do the same
thing i did in the last one
i'll link that to the creativity moc
okay so i have a few notes that are on
this
subject of generalists um because that's
what the book range is about it's about
the power
of generalists and how our society has
undervalued generalists and overvalued
specialists and we need a combination of
both of these people to balance
our society out because many of our
creative problems that we're solving
in today's world require range to be
able to gather enough
information to solve them because they
are multifaceted and they are
a lot of times crossing multiple
fields of study as well so what we can
do
here and this is a fancy new feature
that came out in obsidian recently
is we can just do a search for i think
one of the topic areas that i had here
for this was generalists
okay so yep here it is
then so we search for the term
generalists now what we can do which i
think is really cool is we can actually
click and drag these links into this
node
so let's see here i've got knowledge
work generalists
range generalization needs space to work
well
and so on so the book time off which
i've mentioned on this channel
again recently is where a lot of this
has come from too
there's a lot of overlap between range
the book by david epstein and time off
because there's a lot of
interplay within those ideas so what
i've done here is i've just started to
create
links to the notes that are relevant to
this map of content
the topic of range or generalism and
now what i can do is as i build this out
over time i can let these ideas kind of
i get the way nick milo terms it is they
essentially duke it out
and to try to figure out what is the
most cohesive idea
that belongs in this map of content i
don't have this process
nailed down to a science and in fact i
really feel like developing a map of
content
is something that's more exploratory in
nature there's not a science to it
there's not a formula to it
but it's really figuring out what is of
interest to you
and then starting to either dive into
that subject area
or pull the information in your vault
around that subject area together
and then just try to figure out what
makes sense to you for how to organize
it
or how to think about it in your vault
each and every one of us thinks through
information differently
and therefore the way your maps of
content might look may
look completely different than mine it's
really just a structural tool in your
vault
to help you explore ideas either dig
into ones you don't know yet
or to try to wrap your head around the
ideas that you already have spent time
digging
into but crystallize the information a
little bit more in your vault so it's
easier to access and easier to use
so what do you think about maps of
content what do you think about
organizing your vault are you doing
something different i would love to hear
from you in the comments below

found this video helpful my name is
justin with
effective remote work thanks for
watching and i'll talk to you in the
