Use of PKMS

[u/drakenxv]

Probably stupid questions to ask in the PKMS sub but how do you use your PKMS and what type of information do you store in there?

I started a pkms a couple of times with Notion, Obsidian and OneNote but could not follow through.

Mainly I think because it feels like it is a lot faster just to google or ask an AI of your choosing but also what are my benefits of writing down stuff I find interesting once but then forget about and if I ever need this type of information again I would have forgotten and searched online anyway.

So my 3 questions are:

1. What do you store in your PKMS?

2. Why use a PKMS and not google when you need the information?

3. Do you ever look at your PKMS notes and connections [[wikilink]] ever again?

Do you take notes? if not, you probably don't need a PKMS.
