Bigger Ideas

Platform agnostic ideas that may help your PKM process. They may feature a software, but I think they apply to more than a single platform.

Jeffery gave us a tour of his “chaotic” PKM system. I like his note, that it doesn’t have to be all clean. All our systems are really messy.

Jeff Perry’s note system for 3 articles a week.

Scott on his “secret weapon” for notes.

Brandon talks about taking notes with the Boox Note Air 2, a tablet that takes pencil input. He’s using it for notes while reading on his Kindle. It’s certainly got me tempted to try one out.

Vicky shares her 2022 Zettelkasten workflow in Obsidian.

Josh shared his system to reduce friction in his Zettelkasten workflows. I’m sure we’ve all found our systems can get out of control.

Justin showcased his PKM system via the Linking Your Thinking channel.

Dan is going to write a guide on “Reading, Thinking, Writing” and is contemplating using 3×5 cards to get the project going.

untools is a list of tools to help you think better. Not a list of software tools, but frameworks for ways of thinking.

I know many people run themselves in circles looking for the perfect note-taking application.

Something Interesting

Because we’re all lookin to expand our minds a bit.

What about heat pumps for heating your home?

Software

Is NotePlan an alternative to Things 3? I think in most cases combining your notes and your tasks is a bad idea.

How should your numbering work in an antinet system?

If you’re thinking about using Craft, here is an introduction.

Want a screenshot in Zotero and have an iPad? Here is a workaround to make that happen.
