#Personal Knowledge Management
Personal Knowledge Management is where I write about how I organize notes, papers, code, and ideas across long running projects. Maintaining a usable personal knowledge base has always been an essential part of my scientific workflow, but it is constantly evolving due to new tools and methods as well as changing habits. Posts tagged this way explore such tools and systems for note taking, archiving, linking, and retrieval, as well as practical experiments with Markdown based workflows, reference managers, and automation.
