# Renaming a category is 'free'

> On renaming your categories.

In the process of sending out some stickers, Lucy just had to create a new category in `D85 Johnny.Decimal business`.

It naturally fits in to our `30-39 Marketing` area, but then we need a new category. And in this situation, we don't really know what the _future_ of that category will be.

Because it's not just going to be stickers. That's a really narrow category, which is usually a red flag.

I can't know what _else_ might go in there, because it doesn't exist yet. And I don't want to sit and think about that, because I have better things to do.

So I'm stuck: a mental block. The worst.

But, I realised: **renaming a category has no cost!**

The category name doesn't appear in any files. You can just ... change it. Expand it. Whenever you want, later.

It doesn't matter. There are no consequences.

So that's interesting and might influence how you create things.
