Note-taking and Personal Knowledge Management (PKM)

A cornerstone, introducing me to the concepts of outlining and back-linking.

What am I supposed to do?

That was my thought at that time staring at that minimal daily note page.

First approach to 2 concepts we've deeply developed, later on, at the Paperless Movement® in our ICOR® methodology related to the thinking process of information: Deep Thinking and Shallow Thinking.

From rapid information processing to in-depth analysis.

I developed my own comprehensive productivity system.

It went beyond mere note-taking and PKM, blending information and action in a cohesive way.

However, I soon realized the limitations of a “one app fits all” approach.

I tried to make it (again) a one-size-fits-all solution, combining information and action in one app.

This was my second and final failure in such an attempt, a lesson I've truly learned this time.

Thanks to Mem and a tweet, partnering up with Tom Solid, joining the Paperless Movement® in July 2022.

Implementing Heptabase for Deep Thinking and Tana for Shallow Thinking.

These tools provided the perfect balance for managing information and knowledge.

The journey in note-taking and PKM is not just about efficiency but also self-discovery.

It's about finding the right tools that resonate with our thought process and enhance our productivity.
