CORE DEFINITION

Linking Your Thinking, a knowledge management framework proposed by Nick Milo, centered on MOC (Map of Content). It organizes notes through links rather than folders, forming a flexible knowledge network.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Let knowledge naturally emerge into structure. Use links instead of rigid categorization, and use MOC as a "hub" to manage relationships between notes, supporting non-linear thinking.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Knowledge grows through "links" rather than being "stored" in folders. MOC (Map of Content) acts as a central hub that aggregates scattered notes into thematic views; bidirectional links between notes form a network, where structure emerges from content relationships rather than being pre-defined, supporting non-linear and associative thinking.
