PKM

PKM saves, organizes, and reuses what you learn - not a hobby of collecting apps.

Key Concept

• Save, organize, reuse - three moves, not app-hopping for the perfect stack.
• Level 1: Save what you learn, put it where you can find it, use it again - three steps, like catch, label, and cook instead of hoarding groceries until they spoil.
• Level 2: PKM is save, organize, reuse - three moves instead of app-hopping for the perfect stack.
• Level 3: Personal knowledge management cycles capture, structure, and expression - the stack matters less than repeating those three moves.
• Level 4: Pick one inbox, one organize pass, one express habit - swap tools only when a step fails, not when a blog posts a new app.
• Level 5: Building a Second Brain names CODE; PARA Method holds organize - perfectionism about stack is procrastination dressed as research.
• Output beats tuning the system alone.
• This garden is where reuse happens after capture.

Examples

• The team manager keeps a card file sorted by what she actually uses on game day - she deleted half of it last spring after a loss reminded her what she never opened.
• I screenshotted forty recipes last year and cooked four - the Notes app only keeps what survived a second cook.
