Pen vs. Keyboard?

It’s not the tool that makes you wise,
But how you think and synthesize.
Forget the myth of pen or key—
Your method shapes your mastery.

✅ The Fact: The effectiveness of note-taking depends on how we engage with content—not on whether we use a pen or a keyboard.

🦄 The Myth: “Handwritten notes are inherently better for learning than digital notes.”

Many believe, “I don’t have time for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM).”

The truth? PKM saves time. Yes, it takes some upfront effort, but small, consistent steps lead to compounding benefits: faster retrieval, better learning, less wasted work.

What’s your best tip for managing knowledge efficiently?

Why Managing Knowledge is a Time-Saver, not a Time-Waster

Discover why 'I Don't Have Time for PKM' is a costly misconception and how managing your knowledge can save time (and is time well spent).

Having the latest tool won’t make you more productive if your system is flawed. It’s like believing a sharper knife turns someone into a master chef, writes @StefanTSiegel at #NoteLab.

There is no perfect tool for personal knowledge management—and there never will be. What matters is how you use the tool(s) ⬇

One Tool to Rule Them All!? Stop Chasing After the “Perfect” Tool for Thought for (Personal) Knowledge Management. It Does Not Exist.

Stop chasing the perfect tool for thought. Learn why effective knowledge management is about building solid thinking and working habits and not about switching to the shiniest, newest tool.

Note Lab

Tools for thought ≠ just apps.

PKM isn’t new—and it isn’t just digital. From notebooks to mind maps, analog tools still play a powerful role in how we think, write, and learn.

Don’t let shiny new toys and apps distract from solid thinking and meaning making.

From (Commonplace) Notebooks to Notetaking Apps: Why Tools for Thought Aren’t Just Digital

In the age of digitalisation, the digital transformation or the digital state (Stalder, 2018), it is easy to assume that effective and contemporary thinking tools for (personal) knowledge management must be digital, too. However, history and practice show that analog tools—such as commonplace books, index cards, and notebooks—have long played a crucial role in structuring and enhancing knowledge work. This post challenges the myth that only digital tools qualify as tools for thought.

Was Workshops in der #Hochschuldidaktik häufig fehlt, wenn sie nur 1 Tag gehen:
andauernder Austausch über bestimmte Themen.

@StefanTSiegel und ich beschreiten nach einem Jahr #NoteLab jetzt neue Wege und ergänzen unsere Workshops zum Thema lehrbezogenens #Wissensmanagement um eine #Community.

Mehr Infos und Hintergründe auf unserem Blog bei @dehypotheses unter https://doi.org/10.58079/13cq1

Launch der [[notizlab]]-Community

Ab sofort ergänzen wir unseren Blog um eine lebendige Community, in der wir uns über Wissensmanagement und digitale Notizen im akademischen Kontext austauschen.

Note Lab

Nächste Woche gibt's ein paar Neuigkeiten – habt am Mittwoch, 12.02. um 18:00 Uhr schon was vor?

Ich denke, das könnte vor allem für diejenigen unter euch spannend sein, die #PKM oder #Wissensmanagement betreiben, #ObsidianMD nutzen, ihr #Studium oder ihre #Hochschullehre organisieren und dafür #DigitaleNotizen verwenden...

Stay tuned. #notizlab #NoteLab

Is teaching-related knowledge management just about saving files? Think again! 🧐

By rethinking TKM, you can use its potentials of it for teaching, learning and your professional development.

Active Minds, Not Static Files: Why Teaching-Related Knowledge Management is More Than Storing Lesson Plans

Knowledge management (KM) transcends mere data storage or file management, focusing instead on creating, sharing, and utilizing knowledge. Yet, KM is frequently misunderstood as a technology-driven process centered solely on information management, rather than a sense-making approach that emphasizes learning and idea development.

Architect, Gardener, or Librarian: Which type of notetaker are you?

Just like there are no fixed types of learning styles (though the myth is still out there), maybe there isn't a fixed type of notetaker, either, writes Stefan Siegel at #NoteLab:

Why You’re Not Just an Architect or Gardener. On the Problem of the Notetaker Typology.

Are you an Architect or a Gardener? This notetaking typology simplifies personal knowledge management but stifles growth. Learn why flexibility matters and how to break free.

Are you are #Gardener or an #Architect when it comes to #PKM?

Why we need a bit of both, @StefanTSiegel argues in our latest article at #NoteLab

Chaos AND Structure. Believe it or Not, Personal Knowledge Management Needs Both.

Ever felt stuck between too much structure and complete chaos in managing your ideas? In personal knowledge management (PKM), the belief that "the more structure, the better" seems like common wisdom. But too much structure can stifle creativity and hinder your learning. In this text, we will explore why balancing chaos _and_ order may actually be more effective for your personal growth and productivity.
