So, how can you build an effective PKM? 4 steps approach:
1. Capture:
Decide on how you gather/collate information – saving links, bookmarking pages, taking notes, jotting down ideas, etc. I use Note Apps for easy access & referencing; I always have a notebook & pen close to me & take lots of screenshots.
Find what works best for you.

2. Curate:
Classify. Summarise. Synthesize.
We are exposed to so much information daily, curating helps you organize this information in a concise & easily digestible manner. Also helps remove what you need from what you don’t.
Regularly review the information you’ve captured

3. Crunch:
Sit down to read the information you’ve gathered. Study & extract meaningful information & ideas from them.
There’s no point in gathering information you won't make use of.
Crunching opens the doors to new ideas and concepts, that’d help you in your business/career.
