PKM

Why Smart Knowledge Workers Should Move Their PKM to an ‘e-PKM’ to Achieve Happiness?

2 min read

Data is cold. Emotions are warm.

You don’t want a cold life. You want a cozy one.

Here, I explain how you can use your PKM to move from one to the other.

What Do You Want In Life?

You want to feel good.

A life of fulfillment.

In one word: happiness.

What’s Your PKM’s Essential Goal?

Today, you’re impacted by data.

Transforming it into positive emotions is the only goal of your PKM.

That’s why I call it e-PKM.

What’s the Process to Transform Your PKM into an e-PKM?

For many years I’ve followed this process:

  1. Writing
  2. Thinking
  3. Learning
  4. Understanding
  5. Growing
  6. Fulfillment
  7. Happiness

How Do You Move from Cold to Warm?

As you can see, the process takes you from a cold area (4 first stages) to a warm one (3 last stages).

That’s how you should create an e-PKM.

The Right Approach to Make Your PKM Become an e-PKM

Don’t focus on data.

It’s nonsense just think about managing data, organizing things, and learning complex systems if it’s not to achieve the essential goal of any human being: happiness.

The One and Only Question You Should Ask Yourself

When using, building, or thinking about your PKM, this is the only question you should ask yourself all the time:

Is this step moving me closer to happiness?

Takeaways

  • Use your systems to grow.
  • Move your PKM to an e-PKM.
  • By doing that, you’ll achieve the only goal you want to accomplish in life: happiness.
