Tagging is useful for some things. I tag bookmarks in Delicious. I tag stuff in Yojimbo. When I write, I do not tag; I do not use categories. I used to use those for email. No longer am I doing that, either. Letting go the tagging and categories is good. I am free to write about whatever I want. My journal is not about any one matter. It is a chronology of my life, work, and interests. Far too many things are very important to think and talk about to limit myself. Regarding email, it was rather liberating to stop using folders and labels for organizing. I keep everything in the inbox and can find most anything by doing a simple search. I like it this way. Very much.
