Lena,
This is my question, as well. The challenge, in my opinion, with any info manager that uses a tree hierarchy is that the tree grows quickly, and is soon rather overwhelming to scan. My plan is to use separate Files for some broad categories of information--for instance, one for my work, one for an organization I do volunteer work for, one for my personal life, one for a book I am working on, and perhaps one or two others.
Also, because of the quick keyword indexed searches, I think some information in these databases can be "dumped" into one folder without the need to link it to other Info Items, so that can save "tree space." I'll only use multiple parents when it makes absolute sense to do so... for instance, I'm Red Flagging important items and linking them to a special "Red Flag" folder for quick scanning.
But I would love to hear how others approach this. Thanks for asking the question.
