Periodic Knowledge Review
Table of Contents
Notes rot without revisit - calendar weekly and quarterly passes like bills.
Key Concept
- Crisis review is always too late.
- I calendar weekly and quarterly passes the way I would calendar bills - inbox, active projects, evergreens on the clock, not when guilt spikes.
- If I never revisit notes, they rot.
Level 1 - Recognize
Periodic knowledge review means revisiting notes on a calendar rhythm - weekly and quarterly, not when guilt spikes.
Level 2 - Explain
Like checking your backpack every Friday instead of the night before a big test - scheduled passes, not panic review.
Level 3 - Use
Block a recurring slot to walk the garden - prune stale links and refresh what you actually use before something breaks.
Level 4 - Connect
Orphans and drift compound when review waits for embarrassment - inbox, projects, and evergreens need the clock.
Level 5 - Create
Create a review calendar: use Spaced Repetition for cards, a weekly Maintenance Window for active notes, and quarterly Active Knowledge Curation for the graph.
Examples
- First Sunday I reconcile the budget - not only when the card gets declined mid-commute.
- The clinic reviews charts every Friday at four - not only when a complaint lands.
