#DigitalGardens At first I felt very excited to share my notes on my digital garden, and now I'm rethinking it. I feel somewhat exposed, not knowing where to put the line between what is shareable and what should be private. It also feel like I'm still in a quest for validation more than to #LearnInPublic. Maybe I have to think in private for a while.

Other #pkm enthusiasts, any insights on the "public" dimension of sharing your notes?

@witchyturtle if anyone is actually reading notes that you took that deeply, it's probably close friends and your mom.

I don't mean that as an insult, that's just what I think to myself when publishing personal things.

Overwhelmingly I think people are in it with you and the bravery and vulnerability is compelling, and I think people respect that, generally.

@luke actually its another thing I was thinking about, the question of who is *really* reading these notes. The more I think about it the more it appears that (for my own relationship to notes at least) publishing my WIP notes is kind of a shortcut to avoid actually writing (doing the work) about the things I care about...
