Every time I travel, I’m reminded how powerful ’s mobile app is. All the notes I need are right there, organized exactly as I organize them on my MacBook Pro, so they’re easily found and browsed when needed. A big thank you to @kepano and team for making this mobile experience so smooth!

Haruki Murakami, in _Novelist as a Vocation_: "If you take a hundred novelists you’ll find a hundred different ways of writing novels."

And this is true of and , as well. An approach that works very well for someone else might not work for you. Don't be afraid to simply and consistently work toward your OWN way of structuring your notes.

Cranked up the app for the first time in more than a year. Found a trove of old notes on various subjects, from a pack of work-related meeting minutes to notes from a long-forgotten doctor visit.

Finding these felt like finding an unexpected little window into my own life. Funny how much of what mattered once doesn't matter now.

(I was glad to rediscover old , , and lists, as well as notes on cocktails to try!)

Okay, so I will be the first to admit that, while basic, the query builder for the latest version of makes using queries much, much easier than before.

It's a good first step, and a great foundation for further development.

Complicated systems (like watches) are driven by causes & effects. Applying expertise solves most issues. Future states can be predicted.

Complex systems (like weather) are chaotic. Expertise and long-term planning become less useful due to unpredictability.

A lot of approaches to assume is complicated (hence: structure, folders, taxonomies). How many assume complexity, with unknowable future states? What strategies or tools excel at teasing emergent structure from chaos?

Different folks consider different factors when choosing a or app.

I wonder how important the "Not in Beta" factor should be? (It would certainly narrow the field.)

So: what *are* the PKM tools that aren't in beta right now? isn't in beta. What else?

The app -- the one that dredges up past notes and presents them as clusters of related ideas -- offers a functionality I find interesting ... but not particularly useful as a stand-alone app.

What plug-ins for or offer similar functionality? (This might be where an AI would be actually useful: pointing out and presenting notes that are thematically similar.)

As long as I am producing work, I think it’s fine to go on about the merits and shortcomings of , , and other tools for .

Key phrase: “As long as I am producing work.”

Otherwise, I’d just be like someone opining on ultralight backpacks who never actually goes on a hike.

Don’t forget to look into what your favorite gurus actually produce … beyond content on PKM.

I've got hundreds of books and thousands of notes in my library. scoured and imported all this handily ... but I didn't like having thousands of notes dropped smack in the middle of my vault or graph.

Don't forget: you can check off *exactly* which sources will use when sucking in notes and highlights. Now, I enable and bring in sources one at a time (or as needed), and like the results (and processing them) a lot more.

Solid. Gold. -- if, for no other reason, the fact that reading this might inspire you to think about (and outline, and improve) a process of your own:

Just created my first video in several years. I am terribly out of practice and forget a lot of Camtasia skills. Still, it's out there and it's now a matter of honing skills. The video explains the process in my article yesterday on Generating Transcriptions from YouTube Videos. youtu.be/CzlWihKqORs

According to @nickmilo "“Progressive Summarization” is: “Collect, Collect more, Bold, Bold, Bold, Collect, Collect more, Highlight the bolds, Highlight the Highlights, Collect, Collec..." medium.com/@nickmilo22/why-pro

How many of you spend time summarizing from your reference notes using your own words vs writing down your thoughts directly, whether in zettels/atomic notes or on any other type of place to write?

Regarding Sönke Ahrens HTTSM book, it is must-read, indeed.

It is too paper-oriented for my tastes. I'm still looking for a good book or essay on how to deploy a note-taking/making system for business-oriented writing. Because writing it is not just for publishing, it is also for working and it requires good patterns.

My choice of a PKM app might surprise you as much as it surprised me!

@preslavrachev, this might provide that list of apps you were curious about.
