Broadly speaking, PKM consists of a set of tools and techniques for learning such that our knowledge compounds over time (see [[edtech should make the compounding effects of increasing knowledge explicit]]).
- develop a system to process new information ([[information processing#content inbox]])
- organize for [[contextual discovery]], not categorical elegance
- write and review flashcards regularly to train your long term memory
PKM is a broad field, and there are many different approaches. The following are three categories that I find most practical.
- how do we navigate and process information?
- see [[information processing]] for more details
- how do we personalize and build understanding?
- see [[networked note-taking]] for more details
- how do we retain our understanding?
- see [[spaced-repetition flashcards]] for more details
