PKM

Why Is Your PKM Such an Essential Tool in Your Life as a Knowledge Worker?

2 min read

Your PKM helps you know what you want to achieve in life and makes it happen.

It sounds weird, but that’s what it’s all about.

The First Step: Understanding What Your PKM Is

You first need to understand what your PKM is.

By understanding things in life, you make the best out of them.

What Your PKM Is Not

Your PKM is not:

  • A place to store data.
  • A piece of software.
  • Something you use from time to time.

It goes far beyond.

Your PKM’s Starting Point

Your PKM is born from making a deep reflection of your existence.

That should be your starting point to approach the creation of your PKM.

Your PKM lets you know what you want in your life. In fact, it represents your life.

From that, you keep moving the needle.

What Your PKM Is

Your PKM is:

  • The one you use to give structure to your life.
  • That friend who reminds you lessons from the past.
  • The one that prevents you from forgetting things.
  • The one you use to define, plan, and accomplish your goals.
  • The friend you talk to. The one you ask for an opinion.

Your PKM is simply you in past or future states.

It’s the one that makes your life easier because it does the hard stuff, the things the physical part of your brain is not prepared for.

Release the physical part of your brain to perform at its best by doing what it’s really good at.

Let it be calmed, relaxed, in the best state to give you all the things you’re asking it for.

Takeaways

  • When you see your PKM like this, you begin to pay attention to it because it’s part of you.
  • You begin to respect it.
  • Respect is the most solid foundation of any serious project.
  • It’s from that point where you start to grow and evolve in life.
