What is PKM?

I have a PKM system for personal knowledge management that I use to link my thinking.

This YouTube video (from 2021) describes What is PKM?, PKM Planet, PKM Archetypes, and Better Thinking so you can link your thinking (11 min).

It will help you understand PKM as a way for us to make sense of the world, how we deal with the stuff of ideas, and improve our PKM efforts.

Linking Your Thinking with Nick Milo
This is an exciting time in “Personal Knowledge Management”. We now have the power to create something wonderfully meaningful—to us—and the people in our orbit. With [[Linking Your Thinking]], my prime directive is helping you get more joy out of your digital notes. You’re going to be at home here. Especially if: - You don’t want to lose thoughts - You might want to build and create things - You are an independent thinker and interested in many things And perhaps most importantly: You find thinking to be inherently valuable. So... If you’re tired of switching apps and chasing the shiny stuff—and you’re ready to regain a sense of trust and mastery with your digital notes... And you’re okay with putting in the work... Then I promise you, that you can develop your own personalized, antifragile, flexible, and future-proofed PKM system. It will be a system you can create and grow with—over decades. And it will be a system that can give you peace of mind and tremendous joy.

Summary

Using Ideaverse for Obsidian as the foundation to get started, LYT curriculum, sessions, exercises, and community for the deep dive, and Obsidian Flight School to "make notes at the speed of light" has been a major transformation for me. Now I want to share my thoughts, ideas, interests, and links to benefit others.
