A note library that works well at twenty notes can start to feel unwieldy at two hundred. None of this requires a folder system. It just requires using the tools MonoJot already gives you.
Pin what you touch daily
Pins keep a small, stable set of notes at the top of your library regardless of when they were last edited. Good candidates: a running task list, a reference note you check constantly, this week's meeting notes.
Tag by role, not by topic
Topic-based tags multiply forever. Role-based tags stay small: #reference, #project, #journal, #draft. A few tags used consistently beat dozens used once.
Archive instead of deleting
Archived notes leave the main view but stay fully searchable. Archive anything you're done with but might want to find again later — there's no real cost to keeping it.
Let backlinks do the filing
You don't need to remember which folder a note lives in in a system that shows every other note referencing it. Link liberally and the Map panel builds the structure for you.
Search first, browse second
For a library past a hundred notes, searching for a phrase you remember writing is almost always faster than scrolling to find it. Reach for Cmd K before reaching for the mouse.
