Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) can help you effectively manage and utilize your knowledge. It consists of three key headspaces, each serving a different purpose:
- Knowledge-Based: This space is about learning more by discovering new information, and conducting research.
- Time-Based: This section is all about improving our ability to concentrate. It means organizing our time well, deciding what's most important, and getting rid of things that distract us.
- Action-Based: This headspace focuses on taking action and applying what we have learned by trying things out. By taking action, we can turn knowledge into real results and have a meaningful impact in our personal and professional lives.
- You use your knowledge to gain a better understanding of the world.
- You allocate your time according to the priorities that matter most to you and the world.
- You take action to make a positive impact in the world.
