The term knowledge management became more widely used during [[COVID-19]] lockdowns in 2020, as a large amount of time inside lead to both users and developers to flock to the space.%% #TO/DO/CITE %% Knowledge management draws from many other areas such as [[library science]] and [[information science]]. Knowledge management is usually seen as a part of the tools that allow for [[bi-directional links]], templating, and use of a [[knowledge graph]], although these are not required as long as the software provides functionality beyond writing and reading text. Examples of these tools would be [[Obsidian (software)|Obsidian]], [[Roam Research (software)|Roam Research]], [[Evernote]], [[Notion]], and others. Those engaging in [[knowledge management]] are usually asking the questions, "What are the best apps for note taking?", "How do we learn more effectively?", "What is the best way store to and access what we know?", and "How can technology be leveraged to assist in learning?" Knowledge management is seen as a major concern for [[knowledge work]]. #### Outline - Core ideas - [[Choosing a note writing system is choosing a system for thought]] - [[Densely linked webs of thought provide intuitive access to knowledge]] - [[Concepts are the fundamental unit of knowledge]] - Implementation and system design - [[Note storage is important because it defines how you access and retain knowledge]] - Plain text or [[markdown]] are common solutions due to their simplicity and extensibility - [[Basic tools for working with plaintext]] - [[Prioritize understanding over organization or categorization]] - [[Only organize as much as your data requires]] - [[Only categorize as much as your data requires]] - [[Webs of thought provide heterarchical structure]] - Technologies role - [[Obsidian's graph is useful in the implicit and dynamic relations it can reveal]] - [[Using spaced repetition for your conceptual notes]] - [[Readwise Export for Obsidian - Templates and Process]] - [[note writing]] - Emotional design - [[A second brain should mirror how we think]] - [[Communities are knowledge graphs]] - [[Your second brain should be frictionless access to a curated base of knowledge]] - Other considerations - [[Defined relationships are superior to contextual backlinks]] - [[Make your inbox into an entry point by integrating it with your second brain]] - [[Time is a valuable mode in a second brain]] - [[Stub notes are data structures for implicit knowledge gathering]] - Historical predecessors - [[Sumerians invented writing to store large amounts of data]] #### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked mentions > > - [[Dual (plugin)]] > - [[Deleting a note in a web of thought can have unforeseen consequences]] > - [[Evergreen notes organize knowledge so that it can grow]] > - [[How do we draw insights from our notes]] > - [[How do we ensure our note systems scale correctly]] > - [[Note titles should be abstractions of the note content]] > - [[Spaced repetition helps you keep on top of your notes]] > - [[Sticky concepts connect disparate ideas]] > - [[The fragility of information in knowledge management]] > - [[What are the differences between evergreen notes and conceptual notes]] > - [[Write your notes with a system not within a system]] > - [[my TO(DO) and EVER(GREEN) structure]] > - [[Using Obsidian's graph as a class companion]] > [!dataview]- All unlinked mentions > > - [[Andy Matuschak's Evergreen Notes]] > - [[201 Welcome]] > - [[topics]] > - [[Active Recall]] > - [[Term notes]] > - [[The Collector's Fallacy]] > - [[abstraction]] > - [[conceptual notes]] > - [[heterarchy]] > - [[topic notes]] > - [[Cool people]] > - [[A healthy second brain requires a surplus of entry points]] > - [[Do we think more naturally in hierarchy or heterarchy]] > - [[How to understand what you read]] > - [[Use Obsidian tags as temporal classifiers]] > - [[We naturally define relationships between ideas]] > - [[What is language's fundamental unit]] > - [[Write your notes like you're planting an evergreen forest]] > - [[Your second brain should be an inspirational hub of creativity]] > - [[How I outlined my brain (literally just use all of the organization techniques at once)]] #### Discussion [[My TIM]] discusses my system in more detail. [[Evergreen notes]] and [[second brain]] are two popular paradigms that I take inspiration from, but within the knowledge management community many other systems are used, see [[note writing]]. [[Productivity]] and [[learning]] are two major concerns of people engaging in [[knowledge work]], which associates it with other subjects in those spaces such as todo or productivity apps, [[spaced repetition]], [[Blooms taxonomy]] and more.
