Ok so maybe I didn't really instigate a self-help group to help me with filtering through the fifty billions tonnes of information I get and am supposed to go through every day. Literally I had a think about how and where I get information from and why I am such a technophobe when it comes to all things networked...
Email - it is the bane of my existence!!! I am forever filtering and never getting to the end. It gives me heartburn just thinking about it. Oh and I have a student one and a work one....
SMS - have I gotten back to that friend that messaged a while ago????
Facebook and its stupid connectivity - I don't know how, but it got my mobile number and now sends me updates of people putting stuff up about everything. What they had for breakfast, the latest fad in parenting, their fake photos (oops did I say that?). How do you filter that?? Oh and because I had to use Facebook for work, it now emails my work email address to tell me how many posts have been received on certain sites. I DON'T CARE.
Web 2.0 Tools - The list is tooooooo long to mention but let's just say that all of these email me too.
Journals email me too
Twitter - it emails me too
Oh then there is the good old fashioned just searching for normal information on the net - I have to filter that too.
So lots of stuff to filter. You can see why I was not really interested in more things to have to filter and remember passwords for. I am one of those weirdo people who actually like to talk to real people in real time. AND when I don't want to talk to people in real time, I don't talk to them. HOWEVER, with being so connected I still get random updates and messages and email and phone calls. I don't know why people don't know that my filter has broken and that is why I am not texting them back. My filter has no more capacity, or maybe it ran out of filter granules. Anyway... my point I am trying to make is that I need a system to help to filter. After reading all of the information for week two, I am going to attempt to make my connections to the content, to help with my filter.
STEP 1: Develop a Personal Knowledge Management Routine
STEP 2: Follow that routine
STEP 3: Work out what I need in my tool belt to help me follow that routine
STEP 4: Don't lose the plot
STEP 5: If all else fails, press the emergency shutdown button (the big red one).
In all seriousness though, I have had a think about my PKM and have it below.
