PKM Version 3.0: The Process

Personal Knowledge Mastery is one of the processes (and practices) I use to evolve myself. It is my personal key to change. Over the years I have revised my practice several times (v1.0 & v2.0) as I started learning more. This is my third attempt and by far the simplest. This will also be the...

2018 Learning Plan: The 6 Month Version
