The knock on the #PKM space is too much time spent on the system and not enough on actually making progress on anything meaningful.
There's an infinite pool of knowledge that we can play in. We need anchors -- explicit goals or questions kept top of mind -- as we explore.
How about creating a page in your system for your 12 Favorite Problems -- a la @ProfFeynman?
Star it or have the list of problems automatically appear on your daily note each day.
For everything you add to your PKM system, ask yourself how it applies to one of the Problems.
@ProfFeynman "You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state.”
@ProfFeynman Check in regularly and see how much of your PKM additions have been related to these Problems.
@ProfFeynman If there's a disconnect between your 12 Problems and your PKM additions, you're either:
▪️spending time on things that don't matter to you
▪️not being honest about the Problems you want to solve
Either way, it's a strong signal for course correction.
@ProfFeynman As a @RoamResearch user, in addition to starring a page with my [[12 Favorite Problems]], I'd create separate pages for each Problem and use them as tags for any relevant block(s).
