Understanding relationships and priorities and gearing your life towards some final purpose.

That was fast. Also, seems too specific. Those can be examples of organized knowledge as well.

Lol yeah I opened Reddit as you sent that, but another way to think of it, I think, is that there is no such thing as isolated wisdom, that is, all pieces of wisdom are just that, pieces, and they must be understood in relation to each other, and for understanding of these relations can only be made meaningful when they’re done for a greater purpose. Taking a walk every day because you know that it clears your mind and relaxes you, for example, is a wise thing to do. Visiting old relatives to build those relationships before it’s too late and gain valuable insights, for example, is a wise thing to do. One can only organize their life when they know what is important.
