I’ve found the way my knowledge management workflow works is that I have particular future situations I anticipate being in, and I want to keep a list of things I’d like to be reminded of in that particular situation. (This is very broad and could include stuff like: I decide I want to write post X, or start company Y, or I’m struggling with problem Z, etc.) Usually this doesn’t require a lot of nonlinear structure, I’m basically just looking at a bunch of lists. The most important feature is a hotkey for jumping to the list in question. Here is an old post with more details (which also has comments from others on personal knowledge management):
The thing I’m least satisfied with is when bits of text belong in multiple lists, but the intersection of the two list domains doesn’t feel broad enough to justify the overhead of a dedicated list. It sounds like the tiddler concept handles this situation pretty well. I wonder if autocompleting tags could be an effective substitute for my jump-to-note hotkey...
Nice!
