![]() I am beginning to embrace the philosophy that less is, in fact, more (except with shoes - more it always better). I also used to have about a million different views of my Library, but it became cluttered and unnecessary. Since Notion is flexible, I can add more if I actually need more. I deleted tons of the properties and kept only the ones that I knew I was going to use. ‘Cause you never know what you’re gonna need one day, right? I have since moved away from this philosophy. I used to have over 20 properties in my Library. I mostly enjoy saving some of the higher level resources I want to keep track of, and TV shows obviously. Some people take this to another level and add Instagram posts, Twitter threads, or literally anything that they want to read, watch, or listen to later, using Notion as a read-it-later app. I save courses, TV shows, movies, podcasts, or whatever resource I want to save there to reference later or track while I dig into it. I have more than just books saved in the database. My reading list has morphed (rightfully so) from a reading list to a Library. Since then, my reading list has advanced quite a bit, mostly thanks to Marie Poulin and my own tinkering. When I first started using Notion, I used their simple reading list template (Notion has some amazing native templates you can check out for free, which can be great for beginners). For this article, we are going to focus on how I use Notion for my PKM Library (and some of the connected databases) and how I capture information quickly.Īlthough I do use Notion for task and project management (which is also a component of PKM), we are mostly going to focus on how to store information and capture it quickly. Personal Knowledge Management can be a pretty vast topic, and your PKM system can be huge and include tons of apps and workflows. In the workshop, create your simple, uncomplicated Notion setup for productivity and creativity. If you are new to Notion and not quite sure where to start, check out our Yes Yes Notion workshop. Naturally, I am developing my PKM system inside of Notion. I am also a huge Notion fan (I talked about how I track my habits in notion a little while ago and how we use it as a team). Mike shares about the steps involved in a good Personal Knowledge Management system and introduces the foundation of PKM, the Zettelkasten method.Īs my understanding of Personal Knowledge Management has grown, my systems matured to support my setup. If you are unfamiliar with PKM, I highly suggest you take a look. Mike wrote a fantastic article that is an intro to PKM. In reality, it’s not that scary or complicated. Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a process of collecting information that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve and share knowledge in their daily activities (Grundspenkis 2007) and the way in which these processes support work activities (Wright 2005).Įssentially, personal knowledge management is collecting, sharing, creating, connecting, and storing relevant information and ideas to use later for work activities (and not hoarding information because of FOMO). ![]() If you are like me and have no idea what PKM is (or would like a refresher), let me help you out a bit (courtesy of my BFF Wikipedia): The concepts within personal knowledge management can be utilized by anyone, and at the end of the day it’s about doing more creative work. I realized that PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) is not just for the super-nerd or the information hoarder. ![]() Over the last two years, my understanding of what PKM is has grown quite a bit (not surprisingly since I work with the king of PKM, Mike Schmitz). But when I first heard the term “PKM” I drew a blank. When I joined, I had some understanding of productivity, habits, focus, and all of those exciting things. ![]() I officially joined the Blanc Media team in September of 2021. ![]()
