10 Key Reasons Why Tana Has Become the PKM Game-Changer I've Always Dreamed Of

In Oct 2022, I began exploring Tana, a tool promising to revolutionize the PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) world.

As a long-time productivity enthusiast (born '76!), I'm sharing why it has become a game-changer for me.

I'm always open to new software.

Tana caught my eye, and it gradually started to fill some gaps in my productivity system, being focused on the PKM area of my ICOR® Framework.

The world is a network of objects, with features, processes, and relationships. This interconnected system of objects shapes our understanding and interaction with the whole world.

Tana's impact is hard to put into words. I liken it to the significant influence Evernote had in the realm of note-taking and PKM, a tool I relied on for a decade.

But I see Tana surpassing Evernote, given its expansive potential.
