Three Distinct Tool Categories
- Note-taking, PKM, and tools-for-thought are distinct categories and deserve different expectations.
- Choose tools based on the cognitive job you need them to perform, not because they look similar.
Tools Designed To Shape Thinking
- Tools for thought are intentionally designed to enhance how we think, not just store notes.
- Expect a different interface and workflow from PKM or simple note apps when the goal is cognitive amplification.
Use A Practical Default First
- Start with a pragmatic default like Heptabase if you want a broad, low-friction PKM place.
- Switch to specialized tools (e.g., Tana) only when your workflow outgrows the default's friction points.
