Tana Live Build: Clarifying Complex Connections
Most people organize information the only way they’ve been taught: lists, folders, outlines, buckets. That works until reality stops being simple; when people play multiple roles, assignments and responsibilities overlap, and relationships aren’t neatly hierarchical. At that point, lists tangle, categories collide, and structure breaks down. This session will explore how to model that kind of relational complexity in Tana, using structure that adapts as connections shift, rather than collapsing when things become interconnected.
What we’ll cover in this session:
- Demonstrate common relational patterns (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many)
- Use intermediary tags to represent evolving relationships (roles, assignments, requirements, etc.)
- Build structured views that surface patterns and connections across projects, ideas, and processes
- Apply relational modeling across diverse scenarios (research, collaboration, design)
By the end, you’ll leave with a structural framework for mapping relationships in your data: a way to reveal connections that weren’t visible before, and to design systems that stay clear as complexity grows.
