Tiago Forte (@fortelabs) has codified and documented PKM best practices, making them available. We are all knowledge experts now and Forte is giving us the tools to level up our expertise - capturing, organizing, + retrieving knowledge as notes

One best practice relates to capturing information in a way that it will be accessible later. We can now reliably and efficiently compress/decompress, serialize/deserialize information. As with PKM in general these best practices are well-defined, but not well-distributed.

This best practice is called Progressive Summarization. The idea is that, after you take a note, each time you revisit that note, you improve it, adding optional layers.

Layer 1: Take a note. Layer 2: Bold the best parts. Layer 3: Highlight the best bolded parts. Layer 4: Summarize the note. Layer 5: Remix the note, turning it into a deliverable, such as a tweet, a tweetstorm, or blog post. The notes look like this at Layer 4:pic.twitter.com/UB3gLUds1x

Each layer is optional, and you don’t do each layer with every note. You do it “just in time,” “opportunistically,” “as needed.” When you revisit a note weeks or months later, it’s quick and easy to get a sense of what the note’s value.

Suddenly, notes are valuable again - more valuable to you, and also more valuable to *other people.*

Let’s take a spin into some interesting ways that people are sharing their notes.

Case Study 1: Steven Johnson (
@stevenbjohnson), discussing his DevonThink PKM system (@devontech), speculated about what it would be like to waltz/wander in + out of other note collections. He has certain specialties + interests, other people have others, sometimes they overlap.pic.twitter.com/ovjzRt9BD7

Case Study 2: Derek Sivers (
@sivers), musician/entrepreneur/programmer/internet hero, has led the way by sharing his book notes with others (first and/or most notable). Others are rapidly and happily copying his idea. Several interesting variations of Sivers’ model have emerged.pic.twitter.com/2Hp43SD4O1
