This is the last chapter to this year's State of PKM. I hope this series leaves you with a clearer and empowered sense of how you can improve your knowledge management efforts.

First...why have you been reading every chapter of the State of PKM?

• Do you want to improve you relationship with Knowledge? (Chapter 1)
• Do you want a sustainable way to make sense of things? (Chapter 2)
• Are you frustrated by always losing your thoughts? (Chapter 3)
• Have you struggled with rigid file structures for your notes in the past? Did it cause friction and anxiety that led to a collapse of your system? (Chapter 4)
• Do you want your own, custom, digital ideaverse that not only supports and powers your thinking but grows and evolves over time as naturally as you do? (Chapter 5)
• Do you want to learn from—and alongside—others to accelerate your PKM transformation in an intensive but supportive learning experience? (Chapter 6)

Which of these resonates the most with you?

All of these aspects—that we covered throughout the State of PKM—are even more challenging in the Information Age.

Why?

Because the Information Age makes it too easy to over-consume.

So is the solution to take more notes?

To make more highlights?

No. Highlights are better than nothing but it keeps you from your best thinking, while it trains you to be a really efficient regurgitation machine.

You don't need more highlights, you need more insights.

This is another of The 6 Battlefields of PKM: Highlights vs Insights

If you want to do your best, most fulfilling thinking, you need to optimize for insights, not highlights.

This is why the LYT Workshop exists...

...to get you doing your best thinking, more often.

Why the workshop works

In the past 2 years, we’ve taught 8 workshops to 800 students in 63 countries.

No other workshop teaches a comprehensive, holistic, and sustainable way to use linked notes to support and power your thinking efforts—no matter what you are trying to achieve.

And when you experience the workshop, you will immediately sense the care and devotion to the details that we put into every part of your learning experience.

That's because we pioneered a new and innovative rubric for education that is known as Lean Forward Learning™. It provides educators with six principles to follow for effective and profound learning experiences:

1. Curated yet non-linear
2. Hands-on repetitions
3. Comfortably uncomfortable
4. Immersive
5. Measurable
6. Multiple avenues of engagement

In the State of PKM appendix, I'll show you how the LYT Workshop is designed around these principles.

The workshop also works because of four factors:

• The energy and interactions in the live sessions supercharge your learning experience, especially with the hands-on repetitions you get.
• The content delivered on the "what, why, and how" of linked notes exists nowhere else on earth in such a complete and holistic package.
• The accountability of kind members around the world helps to keep you enthusiastic and engaged in the learning process.
• The concentrated environment of the LYT Workshop delivers richly contextualized insights from the interactions between you, your fellow students, and the workshop's innovative learning environment—allowing you to greatly expand your cognitive capabilities.

Let's talk more about that last bullet...

Linking Our Thinking

Here's something that continually fascinates me: the people who are attracted to the LYT Workshop are the same people that help give it its massive value.

That's because the power of multiple people, in the same space, thinking through the same problems you are, actually works to extend your mind...

...because it allows you some access to everyone’s experience, which makes it easier to overcome each obstacle you experience on your way to creating your custom and future-proof ideaverse.

You’ll be rubbing digital elbows with doctors and dungeon masters, content creators and academics, authors and students, engineers and athletes—the thoughtful and the ambitious, the retired and the career-driven.

But in the workshop we all have something in common...

The LYT Workshop is the place for curious minds to meet—and together—level up our thinking.

Because when we link our thinking as a group...

...we supercharge our thinking as an individual.
