In this case, regular people are not early-adopters, programmers, and salivating tech-futurists. Most regular people aren't trying to parse out the mysteries of networks. They just want a reliable place to grow their thoughts. (2/7)
Why is having a reliable place to grow notes so important? GROUNDEDNESS. (3/7)
In a turbulent world, the need to ground our thoughts increases. In a calm world, the need to ground our thoughts decreases. If we're connected to the internet, it's unlikely we live in a calm world. (4/7)
To escape from a turbulent world, we crave places that can ground our thoughts. Mindfulness. Exercise. Gratitude. Empathy. Engaging conversations. Now, since making notes & linking ideas has become reliable, it too can ground our thoughts. (5/7)
Please don't scoff at the humble need to ground one's thoughts. Not all PKM efforts should be about "actions", "results", and tech-neomania ("just because I can I should"). (6/7)
One's Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system can actually be a place of calm, dependability and integrity.
