Right now it feels like a lot of extra work to do it right. So I just postponed watching valuable content, because I need it to watch while taking notes. It is different to when I just watched videos and felt smart for a minute. Only to forget about it in a week…

    I don’t have the energy to watch everything right away, but I can just send it to a Read/Watch It Later area or copy/paste the URL into a “to be processed later” area.

    I feel like sometimes I watch something to actually learn about that thing whereas other times it’s more about being entertained and I found the topic interesting.

    I find having the annotator plugin for my PDFs helps, as I can make my notes in the first pass including explicitly making all the links I want to to other documents.

    Previously I’d do a quick read through and then a very detailed read to make notes manually. Finding the energy for the 2nd step was sometimes a challenge.

    I’ve been wondering the same thing! I really like the idea of having a pkms, but… getting it set up seems like such a huge, insurmountable amount of work and I get overwhelmed because it sounds so exhausting and I don’t know where to start. ADHD and chronic fatigue and brain fog are likely at play here, lol. (But those things are a big part of why I want a pkms! Argh!)
