Why a PKM Is the Best Mindfulness Tool for Knowledge Workers to Make Their Lives Easier

2 min read

You want to be at present.

Forgetting about the past or the future is a healthy recipe. You’ve tested a lot of techniques and tools.

Your PKM can be the best one.

Here I explain why.

Why Should You Firstly Understand Consciousness?

Mindfulness is being conscious.

Consciousness is the space where things happen. You don’t decide anything, but the way you’ll reply to those things.

“You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.” — Pema Chödrön

That’s how you take control of your life: deciding how to respond or act to the things that happen at consciousness.

Your PKM is the mindfulness tool that gives you that control.

How Do You Use Your PKM as a Mindfulness Tool?

Your PKM is your mindfulness tool at any moment.

It brings you to the present, showing what you should be doing right now.

Then, you decide what to do.

Why Should You Understand the Key Concept: “Should” vs. “Have to”?

Your PKM shows what you “should” do, not what you “have to” do.

It’s your past self telling you what he thought you should be doing now. He knew nothing about this present time.

It’s you, with the current situation, who decides “what’s next”. Knowing a “should” is just a useful and nice starting point. It helps you make the best decision.

What Do You Get by Using Your PKM as a Mindfulness Tool?

Your PKM brings safety, clarity, simplicity, and relaxation.

It shows what you considered you should do at a specific moment. It guarantees you’re doing exactly the most crucial thing.

For example, if an unexpected event appears, you just have to decide between this unexpected event and what was planned.

As easy as that.

Takeaways

  • Present equals focus.
  • It’s just replying to this simple question: What do I do now?
  • Your PKM is your best friend, simplifying and helping your answer to that question.
  • That way, you take the best out of your time, out of your life.
