In PKM, there are three main Head Spaces to move between.
- Knowledge-based (The Atlas folder)
- Time-based (The Calendar folder)
- Action-based (The Efforts folder)
You may find yourself completely immersed in a single headspace (a single folder), while completely neglecting the other two. You may even start to question if you need the other two folders.
Don’t worry, life is long and the pendulum will swing.
- You may be spending time in Efforts when…you find a new interest and wonder how to manage all the knowledge coming in.
- So it’s time to shift to the Atlas.
- You may be spending time in Atlas when…you start a new job and have to rapidly take a bunch of daily notes to make sense of later.
- So it’s time to shift to Calendar.
- You may be spending time in Calendar when…you have a good sense of your commitments in your new job and are ready to start managing things.
- So it’s time to shift back to Efforts.
