People often have unrealistic expectations about personal knowledge management systems, leading to misconceptions about their effectiveness. Some individuals expect immediate results from these systems, but fail to realize that they require effort and time to derive benefits. The process of actively engaging with such tools by organizing thoughts and information can also yield value beyond just the end outcomes. It is essential for users to understand that personal knowledge management is not a quick-fix solution, but a continuous practice that evolves over time.
