Episode notes

There is a tendency for individuals, particularly in the realm of personal knowledge management, to obsessively attach to information, constantly worrying about losing notes and not being able to find ideas. This behavior stems from a voracious addiction to having access to everything at every moment. In contrast, Nicholas Looman embraced a more relaxed and loose approach, which can be more beneficial in navigating the overwhelming influx of information.

Bob Doto, for the past 20 years, has worked with writers, spiritual aspirants, yogis, teachers, knowledge workers, teaching courses on Zettelkasten, PKM, social media, and spirituality. He is a past mentor on Building a Second Brain. Bob has been blogging since 2003 and publishing zines on and off since the early 90s. He's the author of four books and writes a newsletter called the High Pony which features weekly insights on the creative process, spiritual practice, personal knowledge management, and productivity.

In this podcast you will learn:

How spirituality connects with PKM and The Zettelkasten method of notetaking
How to overcome the two biggest problems of starting in PKM
How to use your PKM system for creative insight
