PKM Content Organization - Decision Note

Analysis (2025-12-29)

After reviewing both locations containing PARA methodology content:

  • [300-resources/Personal Knowledge Management](300-resources/Personal Knowledge Management) - 8 files (course notes, references, essays)
  • 100-project/Personal/PKM/PARA - 3 files (implementation guide)

Decision: Keep Current Structure

Rationale:

  1. Different purposes, complementary content:

    • 300-resources/PKM/ contains source material from BASB courses, external essays, and learning references
    • 100-project/PKM/PARA/ contains implementation documentation specific to this vault's setup
  2. PARA principle alignment:

    • Resources = generally useful reference material (course notes, methodology explanations)
    • Projects = active work on implementing/customizing the system
  3. Content breakdown:

    • 300-resources/PKM/ (Reference material):

      • BASB Class 7 & 8 notes (course content)
      • PARA Notes.md & PARA Notes from class.md (methodology reference)
      • Gregory Gundersen essay (writing philosophy)
      • Dickens deep work (anecdote)
      • Images.md (visual references)
    • 100-project/PKM/PARA/ (Implementation):

      • Methodology.md (how to apply in Obsidian)
      • Workflows.md (practical examples for this vault)
      • Outline.md (project plan)

Cleanup Actions Taken

Moved arc42 from 300-resources/PKM/ to 300-resources/Development/Architecture/ (was misplaced)

Recommendation

No merge needed. The two locations serve distinct purposes and should remain separate. If PKM project becomes inactive, move implementation docs to 200-area/Personal Development/ (ongoing learning responsibility) and keep course references in 300-resources/.
