Storing information is super important for knowledge management, but you also need to understand why you’re keeping it. By clearly writing down why your notes are important, you immediately give them context and meaning. This not only helps you remember the information better but also makes it much easier to recall why you found it important later on. Adding a simple “motive” field to your notes can really help. This ensures you pause to consider why you’re keeping something, leading to more conscious knowledge management.
Documenting your motive also helps you handle information with less stress and more focus. You become more aware of what you store and why, which improves your overall knowledge management. By using this approach, you can not only organize your notes better but also extract much more value from all the information you gather.
