Usually, each individual file in the garage is only one of My file types.
But sometimes,
- a Reference note or Research note includes my own thoughts that makes it (or leads to) a Writing note
- an Episodic note includes completed tasks or decisions (Project note)
- an Episodic note frequently starts as a planning file (Project note)
- a Thing note is the result of Episode notes or Research notes
- Projects and episodes converge as tasks
Thus, Organizing files into file-type folders limits the interaction between and the functionality of a file. A garage uses folders lightly and tags heavily.
