i first heard this term when i was deep inside the rabbit hole of digital garden and second brain, while watching a youtube video by this obsidian guru nick milo. map of contents or mocs seem to work the best in applications that do not have the feature of a database (like obsidian), which is heavily reliant on links and hashtags in order to group notes together.
essentially, a map of content is a page that is similar to that of a contents page, which serves as the top level of a funnel of notes.
some examples of map of contents could be:
understanding that growth isn’t linear is essential in managing your mocs as these pages will grow and evolve over time.
for example, relationships may have 10 notes within them at first, but overtime when your notes related to the topic of relationships grow, you may find that having relationships as an moc itself may not be the most useful or intuitive.
studying through your sub notes, you realise that the notes you have taken can be sub divided into friendships, family, pets, partner etc
hence overtime, your moc’s will also develop and either breakdown into more niche specific topics or combine to become more extensive.
there is no right or wrong way to organise your notes, and the same goes with your maps of content. the best system is the one that works for you
a personal space, built in public for sharing reflections, creative projects, and growth.
