Hermann. Notes on my working life.
For years I’ve been taking notes. In MarginNote, in Apple Notes, in various other systems that have all either died on me or driven me mad. Highlights, margin comments, linked thoughts — built up over years, never really made usable. […]
Here I’ll describe the approach I use to connect the two. There are other ways to go about it — I’ve tried several — but this one strikes me as the simplest and most efficient. What do you need? That’s […]
One of the most important components of a PKM system, for me, is the ability to connect things: what relates to what? You can visualize those relationships — once you’ve done the groundwork of actually linking the relevant documents together. […]

When I first wrote this blogpost it was 2017. Revisiting I found it even more current. I did not change anything but added a summary. When I first watched the video from Martin Dougiamas keynote at Moodle moot 2017 in […]
