PKM

Creative Output

Notes are inventory. Output is the point - blog posts, sermons, code, shipped on a deadline.

Selecting and ordering notes is creative work - not filing chores.

Daily notes are a scratch pad for the day - fleeting by default, not a permanent archive.

A digital garden is where notes grow in public - linked, imperfect, alive.

Fewer apps and sync layers. My PKM got better when I stopped collecting tools.

Serendipity isn't luck - it's building systems where old notes surprise you at the right time.

Fullscreen, plain text, notifications off - fewer excuses to leave the sentence.

I publish rough ideas before they're finished - drafting in public keeps the garden honest.

End-to-end encryption for notes that must stay private - balanced against convenience.

Evergreen notes stay useful - timeless phrasing, clear claims, updated when reality changes.
