I would like to express my ways to learning, in this journey, I share here the tools I use for my knowledge management.
I am trying to follow CODE methodology for note taking.
C - Capture - use note-taking apps or picture to store information.
O - Organize - ask, where will I use this information?
D - Distill - progressive summarization
E - Express - show your work
The tools that are listed here are free and some provides paid version w/ additional features.?
OneNote:
Comprehensive knowledge management tool. Organize the captured content to distill and express.
Notes should be organized by the project/idea that you are working on instead of simply put relevant heading and keep it under a folder/section.
?
Trello:
Convenient task management w/ Kanban boards & rich features.
Important thing to follow is to keep up the promises you made with you by adding the To-Do item. Adhere to your own task list.
Miro:
Use to brainstorming the ideas using mind-maps, diagrams & flowchart, etc.
Thinking is a human nature. Practice thinking every day. Asking the relevant and right questions on the subject.
Set a centralized idea on the Miro board - ask questions around it - branch the outcome and refine it.
Explore the idea and capture in OneNote - use YouTube, Pinterest for research/exploring.
Create tasks out of that and add it in Trello & prioritize periodically.
?
Canva:
Produce graphic content like posts for social media, A4 documents, etc. with readily available templates.
Alignments and placements of the objects are easy w/ this tool.
?
Discord:
Community engagement & collaborative discussions with the larger audience.
Discuss the subject & idea with your closed or open community.
