Decoding Knowledge Management Systems
A No-Nonsense Guide To Personal Knowledge Management Systems
Your in-depth fundamental guide to understanding what is personal knowledge management (PKM)
Why should you read this?
Back in February 2021, I went back to University and quickly realised that I needed a system for learning. This was when I came across ‘Personal Knowledge Management’, which will be abbreviated to PKM.
Diving into the topic, I came across Tiago Forte’s blog and his idea of “Building a Second Brain”, putting his ideas into practice around March of 2021.
However, over 2-years of applied expertise, I began to have misgivings about the methods and frameworks I initially learned. Simply, I could see the misalignment between the purpose of our PKMs.
Additionally, I wanted to understand this topic more fundamentally as it was becoming more critical to my life as I just started a company in December 2021.
It was around July 2023, that I started researching the topic of PKMs laboriously. Synthesising my findings into a new fundamental understanding by November 2023.
