As always, this Notes page started with me trying to solve something. It really bothers me for anything to take away my attention. In this case, I was trying to keep my Apple TV home screen clean so I don't have to see or surf through offers of other stuff to watch. I curate an 'up next' list and I usually make notes that sync between my devices when someone mentions a movie or show. I usually handle this with 'quick Notes' that sync between devices. That mostly works, but the problem I'd like to have them all in one place so that I can archive and search what I've already watched much the same way I database my music listening habits. This will give me a simple searchable place to store it all without any complex APIs, databases, or whatnot. It's a work in progress :sweat_smile:. What is a personal knowledge manager? And How could I possibly organize these notes? Some folks refer to it as a Second Brain - https://maggieappleton.com/basb & https://aliabdaal.com/how-to-build-a-second-brain-271393/ I like to use Apple Notes and quick mental notes and I started using the [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) markdown editor for looking at a pile of them on my computer. I noticed is that it's an easy way to map out some sense of order from a set of notes and documents. The more I looked into it, I noticed that there is a whole subset of folks who are into **PKMs** ( **Personal Knowledge Management** ). Evidently, I've been doing it for a while now since I'm accustomed to making my own documentation as I build software and websites. As I was setting up my folder directories on a new computer ( [Ovid](/docs/computers/ovid) ), I noticed that it might be helpful to use the same approach to other aspects of my life so I created another set of documents here for the **non-technical** stuff. I generally use four lists of reminders to keep up with everything. Groceries, Short-Term, Mid-Term, and Long Term. I put everything on there and I can conveniently access and edit them from any device. For every project I build I keep a _notes.txt file containing all of the pertinent info. I'm going to merge my old note into this site, so I have them all in one place. **Reminder**: try to match up my existing docs, notes, reminders, and start pages workflow. ... It's pretty hard wrapping your head around creating a Table of Contents for a knowledge base incorporating everything except technology. I'm just going to start adding an outline of potential topics and link to the pages as they are created. --- ## References - Ontology - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science) - Personal knowledge management - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_knowledge_management - Personal wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_wiki - Personal information manager - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_information_manager - Personal knowledge base - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_knowledge_base - Personal digital assistant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_digital_assistant - Knowledge engineering - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_engineering - Knowledge management - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_management - Knowledge retrieval - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_retrieval - Knowledge representation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_representation_and_reasoning - Information retrieval - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_retrieval - Information architecture - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_architectur - Semantic - integration - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_integration - Idea networking - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idea_networking - Metacognition - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacognition - Semantic network - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_network - Mind map - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map - Concept map - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_map - Group concept mapping - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_concept_mapping - Graph drawing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_drawing - Modeling_language - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_language - Hypertext - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext - Hyperlink - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperli - Metadata - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata - Semantic Web - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web - Web Ontology Language - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Ontology_Language - Resource Description Framework - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework - RDF_Schema - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDF_Schema - Simple Knowledge Organization System - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Knowledge_Organization_System - Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantically-Interlinked_Online_Communities - JSON LD - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-LD - Linked data - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data
