Recently, I joined @bianca_oli_per & @NickMilo's Twitter Space:

PKM for Research: PKM Mindsets

It focused on Mindsets > Tools in your PKM journey.

ALL notetakers—researchers or not—can benefit from this shift in focus.

Here are 3 highlights that stood out + Visuals! 🎨🧵 1️⃣ 3 PKM Mindsets

Nick describes 3 Mindsets—or Paradigms—for thinking of notes in a PKM system:

1. Notes are CONTAINERS of thought
2. Notes are CONVERSATIONS over time
3. Notes are CHANGEABLE

This leaves enough space for adding the visual later.

• Add 8-10 empty line breaks where you want your visual to go.
