About

This is an exciting time in "Personal Knowledge Management". We now have the power to create something wonderfully meaningfulβ€”to usβ€”and the people in our orbit. With [[Linking Your Thinking]], my prime directive is helping you get more joy out of your digital notes. You're going to be at home here. Especially if: - You don't want to lose thoughts - You might want to build and create things - You are an independent thinker and interested in many things And perhaps most importantly: You find thinking to be inherently valuable. So... If you're tired of switching apps and chasing the shiny stuffβ€”and you're ready to regain a sense of trust and mastery with your digital notes... And you're okay with putting in the work... Then I promise you, that you can develop your own personalized, antifragile, flexible, and future-proofed PKM system. One you’ll grow with for decadesβ€”bringing peace of mind and joy.
