PKM

particular definable online culture/space/niche

increasing interest in tools for thought, note-taking and productivity

use of productivity tools with great efficiency, optimisation of workflows, etc

dominated by tech-first, software-specific, study paths, researchers, etc

adjacent to renewed interest in open-source, degoogling, etc

also to renewed interest in digital gardens, knowledge graphs, etc


  • from Fei-Ling Tseng’s newsletter ‘subject to change’, on how PKM interest ‘trend’ is spurned by curiosity + Internet causing information overload
  • strongly linked to my Masters thesis
  • notable figures in this space vary from research-first such as Andy Matuschak to tech-first/productivity-first such as Santi Younger
