Personal Ontologies: The Future of Information Management

A practical and personal approach to managing your information

I’ve written about it before: my ontology.

Despite the somewhat odd word, I recommend anyone starting with PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) to create one and let it grow over time. It’s a structured way to organize and describe your knowledge—a kind of ‘formal’ model of your own knowledge and information. Especially with the rise of AI, I consider it indispensable!

By structuring your own data and making it interpretable, I predict that people who take their PKM seriously enough to implement a smart structure will gain exponentially more from AI than others.

It encompasses the concepts, relationships, properties, and hierarchy between all the elements in your system.

Even in Aristotle’s time, people pondered these questions: What exists? And how are these things connected?

With the rise of computers, we’ve spent the last 30 years delegating much of our thinking about information management to information professionals. They’ve developed systems that often align well with the needs of organizations but rarely with our personal desires.

As a result, we’ve lost control over our personal information and haven’t built sufficient knowledge about how to manage it effectively.

In an era where the amount of information is growing exponentially, this is a missed opportunity and poses a significant challenge. I suspect this is one of the main reasons for the global rise of PKM.

Having your own ontology makes connecting all information elements much easier and more powerful. It suddenly enables you to automate a wide range of actions—filtering, sorting, organizing, representing, and automating—much faster, better, and easier.

Deeply inspired by Nicole van der Hoeven at the first European PKM Summit last year, I’m continuously reminded of how valuable it is to think and write in public. In this video, she shares more about the power of doing so. Many have preceded me in PKM: people like Niklas Luhmann, Nick Milo, David Allen, Bob Doto, and especially Gordon Bell, whom I had the privilege of meeting in 2010.

With that in mind, I’m sharing below the most complete version of my current ontology.

Not only because others can learn from it, but also because it forces me to articulate it as clearly as possible. It’s quite the task, but I’m certain I’ll gain immense value and joy from it. Since it’s a growing and ever-expanding system, it will occasionally undergo changes. I’ll aim to post updates here periodically, along with the reasons for any changes or additions.

Disclaimer: I’m fully aware that the work I do is quite different from what most people do. I’m also far more curious than most. I see my information as a crucial form of capital. Thanks to everything I’m about to describe, I not only earn significant “interest” on that capital, but I can also access it faster (I call that information liquidity). This allows me to help others, which in turn builds social capital for me. For your inspiration, amusement, and perhaps even a bit of wonder ??.

Disclaimer 2: My deepest hope is that after studying my ontology, you won’t think: “Pffff, forget PKM—I’m not touching that!” The “P” in PKM stands for personal. Start small, use what suits you and feels fun or useful, and then expand gradually. My ontology is the result of 20 years of thinking, tinkering, and experimenting.

I use Obsidian, but OneNote and Notion users will also benefit from this.

My Ontology:

Emoji ??

Since my brain recognizes images faster than words, I start many notes in my system with an emoji in the title. While this has some drawbacks on certain computers, I don’t encounter any issues on my Mac (plus, it’s much more visually appealing).

Using a Date in the Title of a Note

I use the ISO 8601 date format, like 2025-01-11. This format has the significant advantage of working optimally with computers and making sorting in a folder straightforward, as dates are automatically displayed in chronological order. Some of my notes are (automatically) tagged with today’s date. This makes it easy to look back later and see what type of item I added on a particular date and in which sequence.

Much of my life revolves around people who work at organizations I meet during activities at certain locations as part of projects. So, for me, people, organizations, places, activities, and projects are a logical part of my PKM system. I chose the emojis intuitively. Feel free to adapt them to suit your own needs.

People

?? Jan Janssen – for people I’ve met.

??? Adam Grant – for people I haven’t met yet.

?? – A prefix for people who have passed away.

(In that case, ???? Jan Janssen. Starting with the urn emoji makes it easier to search for these notes.)

This is a very large part of my system. Currently, it includes around 5,000 people. By making smart use of templates (LINK), I have the most powerful CRM system I’ve ever had. And thanks to everything I’ve learned so far, it’s easy to adapt and enrich. If only I’d had this twenty years earlier.

I’m somewhat hesitant to add images to my PKM system, but profile photos of people are so useful that I include them wherever possible.

Organizations

?? AFAS – This emoji represents organizations with many people in them (an elevator). It felt logical.

?? ??? KLM or ?? ?? Tom Bihn – I experiment a little with extra categories for organizations I have a particular interest in or brands I follow closely.

My templates for organizations include a query that automatically shows me who in my PKM system works there, whether I’ve ever given a lecture for them, visited one of their locations, and when. It also lists the projects I’ve worked on with them.

Locations

???? Countries – Any country that is significant to me, whether because I have a strong interest in it, have visited it, plan to go there, or want to in the future. By including a few queries in a country’s template, I can automatically see which places in that country I’ve visited, when I was there, and with whom.

??? Destinations – An area you can travel to: a region, city, village, or natural area like the Veluwe or the Wadden.

?? Buildings – Places you can enter.

?? Houses – I’ve created a separate category for homes: the ones I’ve lived in and the homes of others I’ve visited.

?? Stations – These frequently appear in my life.

?? Airports – Less frequent these days, but they remain unique places to me.

?? Castles – A recent addition. Castles are magical places with rich histories that continue to inspire me.

Templates in Notes

Every note includes a template (automatically added upon creation) with logical information and fields about the places, when I visited them, with whom, and in what context.

Activities

This is the biggest part of my work: the output of bringing people, information, and ideas together. They appear in many forms. Some of them, however, are private and not work-related, but for me, those lines often blur.

Each note includes a template with fields that make sense to me. For activities, these focus on what happened, who I met, what I learned, what I agreed upon with others, what I thought of the activity, and what stood out to me.

Events

?? 2025-01-11 mi The Hague – Jan Janssen’s Birthday

I found the circus tent emoji fitting for notes about activities. I include the part of the day (e.g., morning) after the date, followed by the location and a brief description. Here’s another example:

?? 2022-11-21 mi Utrecht – Kick-off Month of Digital Fitness 2023

Concerts

???? 2022-07-07 – Rolling Stones Concert Amsterdam Arena

This is a specific type of event: a concert. For this, I chose a double emoji (though I try to be restrained with these).

Cinema Outings

?? Cinema 2023-08-12 mi Oppenheimer

Public Performances

?? 2025-01-09 mi Erasmus University – Students International Business

A crucial part of my work. This note contains everything related to a speaking engagement: the link to the request, the contact person, location, organization, invoice details, number of attendees, the program, people I met there, and links to any feedback afterward. By capturing much of this information in the metadata, I can generate any conceivable overview automatically with a query:

? How many people attended a talk this year?

? How many talks have I given so far this year?

? What are the upcoming talks?

? How much feedback have I received on all talks?

? And so on…

Before I integrated this into my PKM system, it was virtually impossible to quickly uncover or map out these kinds of insights. Now it takes just two seconds(!).

For talk feedback, I use a template with queries. When I receive feedback on a talk, I create a note (via shortcut and template) like this:

?? 2025-01-11 Jan Janssen – in response to talk at Raad van State

This note includes a link to the talk, the content of the feedback, the link to ?? Jan Janssen, and my response to it. As a result, I have access to (thousands of) pieces of feedback on my talks over the years. Joyful, insightful, and critical—it keeps me sharp.

Outings with my partner, family, or for work

??? 2022-12-18 Outing Muiderslot

In the template: who I was with, what I saw, what we did, what I learned, and what it cost.

Walks

?? 2024-10-27 mi Rozendaalse Veld and Beekhuizense Bos – with Mark

I love walking, and this way I can keep track of where I’ve been. Documenting it like this motivates me to explore even more areas and add them to the list.

Road Trips

??? 2024-10-03 Road trip to Elp

There’s nothing better than heading out on an adventure with a loved one.

Hotel Stays

??? 2023-11-14 M?venpick Karachi

Where did I stay, when, and where? How much did it cost, and what did I think of it?

Taxi Rides

?? 2022-11-25 Utrecht – Haarlem

For work, I often rely on taxis. This helps me keep track of when, where, why, and how much it cost.

Flights

?? 2024-02-20 Flight xxx 06:40 to Lisbon from Schiphol

Very specific, with all airport and flight-related information included in the template.

Dining Out

??? 2023-05-03 Golden Bull – Maarten van den Berg

For work, I frequently dine with others—often lunch, sometimes dinner. Where? With whom? How was it, and what did it cost?

Takeout

?? 2024-12-06 Erawan

For those times when I don’t have the time or energy to cook. (By the way, Erawan is one of the best Thai restaurants in North Holland.)

Weddings

?? 2025-05-01 Haarlem – Jan Jansen and Petra Bakker

Funerals

?? 2022-07-08 Funeral of Jan de Vries

Significant Life Events

?? 2022-08-14 Skydiving with the commandos

I treasure unique experiences. By documenting them this way, I’m creating a beautiful, ever-growing list of extraordinary moments in my life (I’ve mapped about 700 so far). Each event allows me to add more details in its template and display them chronologically. It’s also something special to leave for my children and potential grandchildren someday.

Small Tasks

?????? 2024-12-29 Task – Remove compost bin and empty contents into trash

?? 2025-01-03 Task – Tidy cables under the bed and clear out clutter

???? 2024-10-06 Harvest sweet potatoes – super petit

Events

A lot happens in everyone’s life—especially in mine. Aleid Rensen, the former owner of the Noorder Dierenpark in Emmen (now Wildlands), once gave me golden advice when I was 26: “Document as much as you can about it, or later it will be impossible to recall.” She clearly regretted not doing so during her fascinating life. Since implementing my PKM system, documenting events has become easier than ever.

Most of the activities I’ve described so far are factual. But I also have another type: interpretations of events. What do I think about something, how did it affect me, or what can, must, or want I do with it?

I’ve noticed that this is becoming a slowly expanding universe for me. And it fascinates me endlessly.

Nice Things

?? 2025-01-11 I ran into Jan Janssen spontaneously after years

Quickly capturing and noting what happens is balm for the soul. Over time, you naturally start to see how often something nice happens and what brings you joy. And thanks to the metadata in the templates, I can automatically generate overview pages of these happy moments.

And just to reiterate (I’ve described this here): all I have to do is type or dictate into my Apple Watch, iPhone, or Mac: “I ran into Jan Janssen spontaneously after years.” The rest happens automatically thanks to templates (emoji, title, and metadata).

Unpleasant Things

??? 2025-01-02 I had a terrible night because of a crying cat

Life isn’t always a party. Sometimes something unpleasant happens. There’s often something to learn from it, so I write it down—for reflection or to study later. I thought a tornado emoji was fitting.

In the brilliant song “Everybody’s Free” by Baz Luhrmann, there’s a fantastic line:

“Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;

if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.”

So, I don’t document insults, but I do record compliments and thank-yous! ??

Compliments

?? 2025-01-11 – From my partner about my writing productivity this week

Whenever I receive a compliment via an app, email, or LinkedIn, I copy and paste it into my system.

Thank-Yous

?? 2025-01-11 – From Genieke Hertoghs for promoting her book

I really enjoy helping people, and they often share kind words in return. It’s nice to document these moments—for those times when I’m feeling down or questioning why I do it all. (I’m only human.)

Reflections

?? 2025-01-11 Is the ontology post getting too long?

I ponder a lot of things. Capturing these thoughts quickly lets me revisit them later—or simply ignore them. But more often than not, I find them useful.

Insights

? 2025-01-11 Writing about my ontology is helping me clarify the bigger picture.

Insights are like fertilizer for my growth and development. By capturing, describing, and reflecting on them, I gain a lot of awareness and perspective.

Dreams

?? 2025-01-14 I dreamed I visited an underwater cave.

Kristian Esser pointed out the power of documenting dreams, and he was right. Since I’ve started writing them down, I dream more actively and remember them better!

More Work-Related Notes

Often about interactions with others—things I can, must, or want to act on. Whether they’re valuable now or later.

Reach-In

?? 2025-01-03 – Jan Janssen about dining tips in Haarlem

I wanted to see how many inbound questions I get in a year. Reach-in and Reach-out seemed like handy terms for this, lacking a better alternative.

Requests for Help

??♂? 2024-10-25 – Jan Janssen about tips for getting his book into the library

Requests for help carry a bit more weight than a reach-in. They often involve more tasks and steps for me.

Reach-Out

?? 2024-11-13 – Eppo van Nispen about the upcoming PKM Summit

Via WhatsApp and LinkedIn (and to a far lesser extent, email), I connect with dozens of people daily. If the interaction is significant for a project, I document it. Thanks to a Status: open field in the template, I can easily keep track of responses or the lack thereof.

Phone Calls

?? 2025-01-09 Menno Spaan – About the Digital Fitness Academy course

I often make calls when I’m on the go. If important things like tasks or agreements are discussed, I (usually) document them.

Connection Messages

?? 2025-01-06 Alja and Marcel should meet up

I connect people via messages a few times a week. By documenting these, I can look back later and see what came out of those introductions—or occasionally, nothing at all. It’s nice to have this overview!

LinkedIn Traction

?? 2024-11-21 LinkedIn traction post about information literacy

On one of my most important channels, LinkedIn, I occasionally post something that suddenly gains a lot of traction. By capturing these posts with a title and template, I can quickly revisit them and see what else happened. Often, when I check back a few months later, I notice that the number of views has tripled without me realizing it.

Meetings

?? 2025-01-09 morning Maeva – Thijs about hosting and domains

When I have meetings or similar encounters, I document them this way. The templates include all the details, such as who, what, why, and for what purpose. Since all those notes about locations, people, and projects are already in my PKM system, filling in and linking takes just seconds, with an extremely high return on investment.

Opportunities

?? 2025-01-16 – Now that Jan Janssen has this job, he can help with the Month of Digital Fitness

An opportunity is a beautiful thing. You need to spot them, and I’m good at recognizing them. But if I see them and don’t document them, I’ll forget them an hour later. In the template, there’s a field for Status: Open.

This makes it easy to maintain an automatically updated list of open opportunities using a query.

The real bonus: since the person and project are also included in the template, those open opportunities appear not only on an opportunities page but also in the note for that person and the project. Since implementing this, my ability to act on opportunities has skyrocketed! ??

Projects

?? PKM Summit 2025 and ?? MOC – PKM Summit

I’m usually juggling multiple projects. I just love it, and they reinforce each other tremendously. But that only works if I can maintain an overview. So, every project has its own page, including the origin story, the team, the goal, and links to opportunities, insights, meetings, and agreements—plus the fun and frustrating parts.

If there are many subprojects, I collect everything in a Map of Content (MOC). I’ll share more about that at the end.

Capturing Inspiration and Research

My work revolves around connecting people, information, and ideas. In my lectures, I refer to these three elements as my Holy Trinity of Dynamics. If you want to solve a problem, seize an opportunity, or tackle a mission impossible (the most fun ones), you need all three.

These ideas don’t just come to me. They’re the amalgamation of all the information and communication in my life. I draw from meetings, activities, books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, RSS feeds, movies, series, and podcasts. My PKM system is a game changer here too. I document everything and can retrieve it lightning-fast, often automatically.

Research Pages

?? Coffee or ?? Sleep

There are many topics I want to learn about or document. At the moment, I have 270 pages dedicated to these topics. When I come across something related to one of them, I add it to the corresponding page. I’m not yet using a template for this, but after writing this article, I’m suddenly considering it!

Web Articles

?? Scientists Discovered How to Control the Casimir Effect—and Supercharge Tiny Machines

Since December, my system has become even more powerful thanks to Obsidian’s web clipper. With a single click in my browser, the entire article is saved to my PKM system. From there, I can process or edit it however I want. Locally, and at lightning speed. Here’s a separate post about it.

Films and Series

?? Drops of God

Content I watch gets the ?? emoji, followed by the title. The template includes the date of addition, a checkbox to indicate whether I’ve seen it, the name of the platform (Netflix, HBO, etc.), and sometimes the IMDb page. Additionally, there’s a query that checks which days in my daily notes mention watching it. This way, I can see when I watched which episode of that series.

Albums, Music, and Artists

?? Nothing Like the Sun

For albums tied to special memories.

?? Lyrics Nature Boy – Nat King Cole

For song lyrics and individual songs.

?? The Rolling Stones

For artists.

Newspapers

?? The Guardian

By creating a dedicated page for each newspaper, I can include (with a template, of course) details such as which ones I’m subscribed to, the costs, my subscription number, and the customer service contact. I also track how often I’ve been featured in the newspaper and include a query that shows which members of the editorial team I know (this data is automatically pulled from ?? Name pages, thanks to the tag #organization/guardian).

Books

?? The Invention of Nature

Each week, I receive three to eight books—physical or digital. I buy them, get them as gifts, or have contributed to them. Sometimes I’ve written them (often with others). A significant portion I read—sometimes skimming, but often cover to cover. Usually, I’m reading multiple books at once. To keep track of my library and my connection to a book (topic, author, project, or research field), I document everything.

Recently, I’ve started using (as small as possible in file size) cover images for books.

After learning some basic tricks with CSS (not beginner-friendly), I can create any imaginable gallery of all my books—a long-held wish of mine. Thanks to the metadata in the book template (as shown in the image below), I can create a virtual bookshelf from any mix of data. Effortlessly, just by adding or changing a few tags.

I only need to define these fields once and put them into a template.

After that, I can simply type or dictate the title. If needed, I can fill in some of the fields mentioned above.

I then create library pages like:

? ???? To Read Soon

? ??? Currently Reading

? ???? Recently Purchased

? ???? Books About PKM

? ???? Books I’m Featured In

Thanks to a Dataview query like this:

I get a page like this:

This gives me complete control over every book in my life.

Perfect for a bibliophile. It’s lightning-fast and lightweight in terms of data size. Currently, I have 650 books in the system (I’m a bit behind). The files together are just 2MB, and the images total 32MB. Most PowerPoint presentations are easily ten times larger than my entire library!

Children’s Books

?? Oh, How Beautiful is Panama

Comic Books

?? Redbeard – The Broken Compass

Books I’ve Written

???? Easycratie

A collection deserving an extra emoji. And it’s still growing. I think this long article might end up becoming part of the next book.

Manuscripts I’m Reviewing or Working On

???? How to Build an Information Organization

I still have a few books in the pipeline myself. One day, they’ll see the light of day. Many writer friends send me their manuscripts—for feedback, a foreword, a blurb, or a jacket text. In the template and metadata, I can note and track the status. Later, I can also link any reactions or reviews to it.

Articles I’m Working On (Drafts)

?? My Personal Ontology

I document my drafts and article ideas this way. Once finished, the file gets a new emoji:

?? How to Capture an Opportunity as It Passes By

I document articles I’ve written this way. The template with metadata includes the publication date, where it was published, the URL, the word count, the full text, and all the reactions to it.

By including the publication date and word count in each note, I can instantly see how many words I’ve written per year or month:

Podcasts

?? 2022-10-27 De Gelukkige Thuiswerker

Podcasts I’ve recorded are documented like this. The method with metadata and templates works the same as for articles.

Interviews

?? 2024-02-02 morning Interview with IP Magazine

Interviews I’ve conducted are documented like this. The method with metadata and templates is the same as for articles.

As you can see, once you establish a logical system for documentation, you can apply the same methodology to other situations. It saves a lot of effort, and with a few simple adjustments, you can tweak templates and queries to achieve the desired results.

Over time, you naturally begin to think in terms of objects, relationships, properties, and hierarchies in everything you do. It becomes easier, simpler, and much more logical (and faster) to view all the information in your life this way.

Making sense of everything around you—what some might call sensemaking—enriches me in countless ways.

For completeness—and perhaps to reiterate for some—I use even more concepts:

Things I Want to Understand

?? 2022-07-12 How are matches made?

I’m sure I’m not the only one constantly wondering about all kinds of things. I have an index page that chronologically displays all notes starting with ??. It’s fun to browse through when I’m bored.

Purchases

?? 2025-01-15 Handy kitchen gadget by brand Y

I’m deeply fascinated by good (often kitchen) tools. I love browsing CoolTools and Wirecutter (and I have a bit of a fetish for great bags, especially those by Tom Bihn).

I track all purchases over €20 this way. Book purchases get a double emoji: ????. With the same trick I use to count words, I can calculate the total of all purchases per period or category. How much did I spend this month on X? becomes an easy question to answer.

Possessions

???? Tom Bihn – Synik 30

I document all my possessions like this. The template and metadata include purchase and discard dates, the cost, and some questions for myself (a trick I use in other areas too):

? Does it meet my expectations?

? Does it do what it’s supposed to do?

? Do I use it often enough?

Each note also includes a photo. I can create galleries here just like I showed with book covers.

Software

??? Obsidian

For all the software I use, I have a dedicated note. In each note, I describe my use case, my expectations, the cost, and links to practical information about it. I also include contact details for the developer, if I have access to them (handy when you want to request a new feature). For software plugins like those for Obsidian, I document them like this: ?? Obsidian – Dataview plugin.

For Different Types of Possessions, I Use Different Emojis

Most of them speak for themselves ??: ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ???

Concepts and Terms

?? Eekschiller

For words and concepts I want to understand and learn.

Food and Drinks

?? For dishes and recipes.

?? Chablis 2020 – Dominique Laurent

?? Moersleutel – Hoppy Stout

Games and Play

??? Computer Game

?? Board Games

In the templates and queries, I can see when I played something by checking my daily notes.

Subscriptions and Accounts

??? New York Times

For everything I pay for on a regular basis. The metadata includes the start date, the cost, and the type of subscription. Usernames and passwords are not stored here; they are safely kept elsewhere.

URLs and Hosting

?? www.digitalfitness.com

Every domain I’ve registered and every site I host has its own template. Thanks to metadata and queries, I can keep track of costs, renewal dates, and which domains I need to cancel or renew.

The Plants and Trees in My Garden

?? Magnolia

?? Wisteria (Blauwe Regen)

I’m trying to learn and understand what they need. Here, I store everything I know about them.

Historical Events I Want to Learn More About

[[? Battle of Culloden 1767]]

Maps of Content (MOCs) and Indexes

?? MOC – PKM Summit

MOCs are like maps or roadmaps. They provide overviews and lists of various things. You could see them as a homepage for a specific topic or theme. Thanks to the metadata in almost all my files, I can use simple queries to collect and display all the data and information I want on such a page.

Here are examples of frequently used MOCs:

? ??? Library Martijn

? ???? My Cinema

? ?? Maintenance and Cleanup – It’s Part of Life! ??

? Homepage ?? Clippings

? ?? Quick Thoughts and Tasks – Inbox

? ?? MOC – Weekly Updates Martijn

? ?? Firestart! Let’s Set Things in Motion ??

? ???♂? On a Research Trip! ??

? ?? Communication Tasks ??

Each of these is a starting page, serving its unique purpose and automatically populated with the data I want to see there.

Here’s an example of what such a page looks like. This is the MOC I use for phone calls:

From this page, I can quickly navigate to Reach-Outs and Reach-Ins and their status, as well as who I still want to call and what seems urgent.

When I click on an item, it shows what I want to do with it, thanks to the Action: field in the metadata:

? Call

? Check

? Buy

? Ping

? Write

? Read

etc. The person and the project are also included. Thanks to this metadata, these items appear in any conceivable overview I want to generate. I’ve been using this system for two months now, and I’m very enthusiastic about it!

The vast majority of non-predefined items enter my PKM system through notes that look like this:

?? 2024-11-25 Create a Dedicated Page for PKM Meetups – Maarten

In this case, this item appears in my call overview, on the PKM Summit 2025 page, and on Maarten van den Berg’s page. And thanks to the rating field, it ranks relatively high on the list because it’s important soon.

Does This Make You Neurotic or Overwhelmed?

Uh, no. In my case, this system evolved gradually. Mainly because I hate dealing with computers but still want fast access to my knowledge and information.

Each day, I add between 20 and 40 items (not counting web clippings). On average, it takes me between 4 and 20 seconds per item. Not a bad time investment—about 15 minutes a day. Very manageable, especially considering the enormous return I get from it.

Of course, you need to acquire some basic knowledge about creating queries, templates, and a few (really simple) plugins.

Once everything is set up—and with the help of everything I’ve written in this series—you could have it ready in a few hours. After that, it’s just a matter of pressing the right buttons. Here’s a part of my buttons:

I type in text or dictate it, then press one of these buttons. The correct emoji and title—often with a date—are added, along with the appropriate template and values.

Over time, you get used to documenting information as objects and concepts rather than in emails or documents without templates and metadata.

I believe this is the future of information: beyond the Dogma of the Document.

This is the longest piece I’ve ever written in a single day. It might not be entirely complete, but I’m happy with it. For most people, it will probably be too long. But for the person who specifically asked about it in our Digital Fitness Community: Be careful what you wish for! ??

It’s also quite a deep dive into my quirky brain and way of working, making it very personal. The P in PKM stands for precisely that: Personal. However, the thoughts, concepts, and ideas here can be applied by anyone in their own way, to varying degrees.

Enjoy! And thank you for reading.

If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments. Share this with others or invite me to give a lecture about it. If you want to get started, don’t do it alone.

In March, the second edition of the European PKM Summit will take place. Two days dedicated to the topics above and so much more. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever had the privilege of creating with Lykle de Vries

(I translated this for an international audience from my Dutch post from last week)
