In this Productivity like a Pro episode, we dove deep into the difference between Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and Business Knowledge Management (BKM), and why understanding both is essential for building a truly effective productivity system. We unpacked how tools like Heptabase and ClickUp serve very different purposes within the ICOR® framework, and why trying to use one tool for everything usually leads to chaos.

We highlighted why PKM needs to be a private space for your thinking and ideation, while BKM is designed for shared, team-accessible information. Solopreneurs, we’ve got you too—starting with a BKM mindset from day one will set you up to scale effortlessly later. We also addressed the rising demand for collaborative features in PKM tools like Heptabase, and why it's critical to stay focused on the core use case of a tool.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by juggling tools like Tana, Obsidian, Miro, or Heptabase, this episode helps you simplify your stack with clarity and purpose.
