Logseq beginner's course (4/8) - Adding structure with bi-directional links
ADDING STRUCTURE WITH BI-DIRECTIONAL LINKS
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Entering your notes into the Journal page is a new paradigm, but this doesn't mean that you need to forsake all structure.
The way you do that in a network note-taking app is by adding by-directional links. This allows you to resurface information in your database easily when you need it, whilst still allowing you to enter information in a low-friction way.
Once you understand linking, you will be able to configure your own workflows more easily, and set-up a system that works the way that your own mind works.

If you're struggling to manage all your notes and information across personal, professional and academic life, then this is for you. I've built out a structured approach to mastering Logseq from the bottom-up, so that you don't need to navigate through a mass of disparate YouTube tutorials.
Logseq is a powerful combination of a text editor, an outliner, and a linked-network builder, but there is admittedly a learning curve. The course has a wealth of write-ups, videos and diagrams to smooth your transition and quickly master the set of tools available to you in Logseq.
