It helped me a lot, and I think you can profit from it too. ![]() If you want to get the perfect guide on your road to your PKM system, make sure to check out Calmer Notes by Elizabeth Butler*. Do not get blinded by other people’s full-fledged PKM systems. I have daily notes (same as with Obsidian I can manually create the outliner approach), I have markdown support, backlinks, integrations, tasks, cross-platform availability, it is fast and beautiful, and whenever I want to leave Craft for another tool, I can export all my notes as markdown files.ĭo not get blinded by any new note-taking tool entering the market. As I spend more and more time with Craft while reading Calmer Notes by Elizabeth Butler, I realised that Craft is my 80% (maybe more like 90%) solution. Recently, I bought a subscription for Craft, which I use for project management. But to use Obsidian on all of my devices (which is something I do not want to compromise on) I would need to invest in Obsidian sync. In Obsidian I can easily use the outliner approach manually by simply typing a dash. But then I found myself always switching to Obsidian whenever I was taking book or article notes, because for this process I simply love to have the possibility to actually craft pages and documents formatted by headlines, paragraphs, blocks, etc. I thought that I found my beloved PKM tool when I started to use Logseq, because I am such a huge fan of using the outliner approach for daily journaling. But there are tools that almost work as you wish, with some little compromise. There isn’t the perfect PKM tool that suits everyones’ workflow. If you have a clear image of that, you can then proceed to search for your 80% solution/tool. One of the biggest takeaways of Calmer Notes is that before you start using a PKM tool make sure to sit down and write down the goal you want to achieve while building and maintaining a PKM system, and also make sure to have a clear image of the information that you would like to structure and organize. On one hand, that is part of my work at Creativerly since I am going to share those tools and write about them, but on the other hand, this led to the fact, that my notes are scattered across different apps.Ĭalmer Notes by Elizabeth Butler was the one guide I was looking for, to help me build not the perfect but my personal PKM system. The reason for that is simple: I somehow have the „Shiny-new-app-syndrome“ which means whenever I find out about a new tool, I need to test it out. Although I am writing a lot about note-taking, productivity, and PKM tools, I struggled to find my personal companion that gives me the right features to build up my system. I am exploring and watching this space for quite some time now. Tools like Roam, Logseq, Obsidian, got extremely popular over the last 12 months, as more and more people started to make more out of their digital notes. If you have spent some time on Twitter over the course of 2021 I am pretty sure that the term „Personal Knowledge Management“ or short „PKM“ has made an appearance on your timeline. Calmer Notes is a method that will help you craft a tailored, mindful personal knowledge management system to organise your digital notes, files, tasks, and ultimately your life. The last purchase I made in 2021 was the eBook called Calmer Notes by Elizabeth Butler*. The newsletter built for the creative community. You are reading Creativerly, the weekly digest about creativity and productivity-boosting tools and resources, combined with useful insights, articles, and findings from the fields of design and tech.
