Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMS)

I'm just using emacs org-mode and Obsidian for task management, and keeping track of my learning new code-y things... but no backlinks or anything yet. Was trying Zettlr as well. Waiting for an excuse to get really fancy with it.

I have never got properly into the habit of using one, but try use one for PARA type stuff for keeping notes about work and personal stuff.

At the moment I use Google Docs for work and Notion for personal stuff, but should try Obsidian or nvUltra or something maybe.

I stumbled onto this forum despite never having heard of PKMS. Does using Notion’s applicant tracker to track people who want to rent my room count?

I keep information I need to return to for work and personal life in there. I've been less disciplined lately as I've been doing a lot of journaling to explore my mental health needs

Been using Roam on and off for a while. A friend of mine calls it her exocortex and I’ve been feeling similarly. As someone with ADHD it’s so nice to be able to offload a bunch of mental overhead to a place where I can just review it later without having to struggle to recall what I wanted to remember!

Never heard of PKMS before, but I've looked a few of them up and they seem cool! I just finished exams for this semester, but they seem like good systems for note taking. For example in my Java subject they were talking about data structures like Queues and Stacks that we learned in the algorithms and data structures subject so I could just link that inline.

I'm not sure if it counts, but I've been using Joplin for a couple years now to keep notes on various things in my life, ranging from gaming/movie logs to how to properly install some self-hosted service on a NAS. I'm curious to learn more about PKMSs though.
