An Introduction to Personal Knowledge Management (PKM)

Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) has become an essential skill for anyone looking to improve their productivity and understanding of the vast information they encounter daily. It’s a practice that helps you effectively manage and structure the knowledge you gain from various sources, enabling you to retrieve and use it when needed. If you’re new to the concept, don’t worry-getting started is easier than you might think, and I’ve got some great resources to help you dive in.

Why PKM?

In a world overflowing with information, having a system for managing your thoughts, research, and ideas is key to staying organized and making sense of everything. PKM helps you develop this system. It’s all about taking control of your learning and organizing it in a way that supports your personal and professional goals.
