A fitting work environment will enhance productivity A PKM is such an personal instrument that it should be a close fit. Try to avoid finding the coolest or the newest app. seeking short term external rewards is dangerous and harmful.

Fleeting notes

3 note taking styles. great archetypes

“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they’re going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there’s going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don’t know how many branches it’s going to have, they find out as it grows. And I’m much more a gardener than an architect.” — G.R.R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire
