Personal Knowledge Management
Write down what you learn in a form you can actually find again
What separates this from a diary or a task book is that the subject is knowledge rather than you: the only test of a note is whether you can still find it and still understand it six months later. So it gets written in your own words rather than copied, and linked to other notes. The classic trap is tooling — switching apps feels like progress.
First stepIn a free notes app, write three ideas from this week's reading in your own words, one note each, and link them to one another.
