They say that the tools you use can shape how you think about a problem, 
and I definitely think this is the case for TiddlyWiki and titles.  I think 
it's interesting you bring this up, especially considering all of the 
recent discussion around titles, linking, breaking links, aliasing, etc, 
but I've noticed this mostly in the area of search.

I've gotten into the habit of making sure my tiddler titles contain all or 
most of the keywords I'll need to find it again.  I've also created an 
alternative search results view that treats tags as titles for the purposes 
of search, and renders tag pills for any tags that contributed to a hit, 
like so:

I've been thinking about tweaking my search results further to include a 
"keywords" field, but I'm not sure if I want to go through the effort to 
maintain that field for all of the tiddlers in my wiki.

One big issue with the title-oriented nature of the search, in my 
experience, is journal entries - I tend to write a single journal entry per 
day, using headings to denote separate events.  One way I could alleviate 
this would be to use something like "2019-08-23 - TIL kubectl describe node 
shows pods scheduled to that node" and split my journal entries out into 
individual tiddlers, but again, the tool shapes my usage!
