PKM

The Future of PKM

AI and new apps change tools, not the PKM loop - capture, connect, create.

The garage holds experiments; the showroom is the blog - don't confuse the two.

Ideas move through capture, use, polish, fade, and archive - spend effort where the note actually is.

A note's value lives in its connections - files become a network you think inside.

CODE and PARA in one loop - capture to inbox, organize by project, distill on use, express weekly.

One inbox you trust and empty weekly - or you'll stop using it and capture in your head.

The Zettelkasten myth oversells tools and undersells writing - Luhmann wrote the books.

Some thoughts need diagrams beside Markdown - sketch before the prose pile.

Weekly review as a checklist - inbox, calendar, projects, one express action. Boring on purpose.

Zettelkasten: one idea per note, lots of links, write by following connections.
