I needed a Personal Knowledge System

Triggers


Why?

Things have been quite weird since I returned from college 12 days ago. For one, I realized I didn't mind if my hard-disk crashed because I was done with college and already have a new job lined up. While the things on the hard-disk have some sentimental value, I realized that losing them wouldn't affect me a lot.

It didn't feel like I was going to lose something important. But surely it should've? I'm 22(almost) now. Surely over the last 4 years, I must have built up some sort of.. knowledge that I would want to take along with me into the near-future?

I've probably read ~thousand articles in the last 4 years, in a perfect world they would've been imprinted into my brain.. but they haven't because I didn't make an explicit effort to remember them. And I have no way of going back now.

This personal knowledge system, I've now created and intend to follow is a way for me to slowly build up a knowledge database that I can refer to.

I cannot predict the effectiveness. I'll have to try and see it for myself.
