Three Levels of Knowledge
- Knowledge exists in three distinct levels: information, revelation, and application. Higher levels provide more value and impact in your personal knowledge management (PKM).
- The progression from passive information to active application transforms notes into real-world results and growth.
Information Level Example
- Information level is like notes stored in cold storage; they're searchable but dormant and require active retrieval.
- Notes from reading a productivity book don't help until you remember and access them actively.
Revelation Level Example
- Revelation means you remember key concepts and can discuss them without looking them up.
- Understanding time management theories is valuable, but if not applied, remains theoretical.
