Creating a KB takes a lot of effort. However, it also gives a significant output when a critical mass of notes1 is collected. For PKB, this is the birth of insights2. For CPB, it is the preservation of knowledge accumulated within the company.
In my case, I started seeing increasing output after taking notes almost daily for four months. The volume of PKB was about 500 notes with over 1 million characters ↩︎
Be sure to save the context in which the links between notes you made. It is from the links, and not the information itself, that insights emerge ↩︎
