I recently used linked thinking in Obsidian to do some critical meme analysis for therapy. It was a good exercise in creating index notes, e.g. a meme crossing over Marvel and The Good Place wouldn’t fit in a folder for either one.

    I’m just using emacs org-mode and Obsidian for task management, and keeping track of my learning new code-y things… but no backlinks or anything yet. Was trying Zettlr as well. Waiting for an excuse to get really fancy with it.

    I have never got properly into the habit of using one, but try use one for PARA type stuff for keeping notes about work and personal stuff.

    At the moment I use Google Docs for work and Notion for personal stuff, but should try Obsidian or nvUltra or something maybe.

    Been using Roam on and off for a while. A friend of mine calls it her exocortex and I’ve been feeling similarly. As someone with ADHD it’s so nice to be able to offload a bunch of mental overhead to a place where I can just review it later without having to struggle to recall what I wanted to remember!

    Never heard of PKMS before, but I’ve looked a few of them up and they seem cool! I just finished exams for this semester, but they seem like good systems for note taking. For example in my Java subject they were talking about data structures like Queues and Stacks that we learned in the algorithms and data structures subject so I could just link that inline.

      Oh gosh, I really wish I had a proper PKMS back when I was at university. I would have done exponentially better, I’m excited for you 😆

    I’m not sure if it counts, but I’ve been using Joplin for a couple years now to keep notes on various things in my life, ranging from gaming/movie logs to how to properly install some self-hosted service on a NAS. I’m curious to learn more about PKMSs though.

      I would say that counts! Is there anything specific you’re curious about? Particular issues in your personal system or interesting things you’ve seen from others?

        Sorry for the delayed response! No particular issues, just interesting to see that there’s a name and a community for this kind of system, and even that there is a system!
