Linking Your Thinking
Personal knowledge management framework
The "Linking your thinking" concept is a personal knowledge management (PKM) framework developed by Nick Milo.
It is about creating
connections between
notes or ideas.
Even when they
do not share anything
in common.
Building bridges and
crafting a network
of dots which end up
forming a symphony,
as like in Life as Music.
It is a way of cultivating a Digital Garden
full of the ideas we want to be part of our daily lives.
Key Components
- Map of Contents (MOC): They are the starting point for each of the topics or areas in your vault. They evolve through time instead of being static.
- Atomic notes: Notes should be as small and right to the point as possible. This makes the connection between ideas much easier.
- Evergreen Notes: Concepts that pass the exam of time. They will always be relevant.
- Linking and Backlinking: Using the power of Markdown to link between notes and create connections that may be displayed in Graph Views. Similar to how our brains function.
- Daily Notes: They serve as a daily point of contact with all the information. Managing logs and having a place to recall ideas or navigate.
