I’m reminded of this image whenever I’m tempted to jump on a new PKM system. Obsidian has been just fine for what I needed. Plain text sync, entries based on atomic knowledge per Andy Matuschak’s advice. As I’ve transitioned to another career space, it has been helpful to just write short form blog posts on Wordpress to track ideas. I’ve been reluctant to add business ideas into my chemical/eng obsidian knowledge base but I think it should be fine. K.I.S.S. really goes a long way with sustainability.

Interesting framework for executive presentation

Start by brainstorming your proposal into a series of arguments that support your answer. Once you’ve written them all down, group them into related arguments. Shape those groups into three top-level arguments, with up to three sub-arguments supporting each of those top-level arguments. Recursively apply this approach, ensuring each argument summarizes its at-most-three sub-arguments. Order the arguments within each group by descending importance.
