Welcome to the PKM Vault, a comprehensive and structured resource dedicated to mastering Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). This repository is designed to be used with Obsidian, a powerful note-taking and knowledge management tool that excels in linking and connecting notes using markdown files.
The PKM Vault is organized using the Atomic Notes strategy, meaning each note focuses on one concept or idea. This structure is designed for clarity, ease of linking, and reusability. Inside, you'll find information on PKM strategies, tools, techniques, and case studies to help you build or enhance your own PKM system.

By leveraging this tool, you can easily explore relationships and patterns between PKM topics in this vault.
