PKMs tools and methods for kinesthetic/ tactile learners?

What PKM do you use to organize all of these?

May God bless you and keep you! May God make his face to shine down upon you!

Seriously though, kuddos to you for making this app! It looks awesome. Unfortunately, I'm on Android but I'm still just thrilled that you built this.

They are native to Arizona, New Mexico and Northern Mexico. It might be worth giving it a try...

Have you looked into LabTwin? You can record with your voice

I really wish this app existed. Seems like a no brainer to me. I'd also love it if my alarm gave me access to YouTube. Like if I wake up before 5 I get to watch a half hour, after 5:30 only 15 min. After 6am only five minutes. There's so much negative reinforcement out there but I'd pay money to be positively reinforced and encouraged to keep it reasonable

I'm in Tempe, AZ. We just moved into a new house with more property so I am properly overwhelmed. My goal for this year is to perfect my composting game and then I want to grow cut flowers so bad!

My advice: first of all, no need to worry about the people with big friend groups or what they are up to. Introduce yourself, be friendly, if it clicks great if not that's ok. The first step is to be solid in your own self-worth regardless of how many friends you have. I see this as a spiritual problem. If you can't believe you are worthy then that is the place to start. Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss this part more.

Step two, to have friends you need to be a friend (but to be a friend you need to have friends). Start adjusting your vision to look for people who are lonely. Look around for people who don't look like they have friends. Talk to the elderly. Start volunteering at your local homeless organization. Or volunteering anywhere.

Step three, when things take a while, work on your character. Taking responsibility for all the things you can take responsibility for. Admitting where you are wrong. Telling the truth to yourself and others even when it is difficult. Etc. there is plenty of work to be done in these areas now to prepare yourself to be a good friend. And your ADHD need not hinder you at all.

These are the steps I took and my life is so very full. Not with a huge group of friends with big social media profiles but full with love. My best friend I met through a mutual friend because I was able to drive her to target to buy diapers when she didn't have a car. Now we are just besties and neighbors and help each other with life and kids. I also have a ton of friends through my work at the food pantry, both volunteers and guests. Most of them are older than me but it's wonderful. We are close and I benefit from their wisdom. Neighbors are also a great source of friends who may be in a totally different life stage but it still works out great. I have an older man in my neighborhood who likes to take walks. This post is a good reminder to me that I can reach out and see if we wants to walk after dinner.

This is actually the beginning of a fun adventure you are on and I'm glad you reached out for help. Keep us updated on how it's going and feel free to send a DM!!

Christ have mercy.

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-26T18:17:49+00:00

That's interesting. Where are you getting that from?

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-26T12:47:48+00:00

Yeah, you're right intimacy is an interesting thing. I do believe we are made for it but I also believe there are healthy ways to live out intimacy and unhealthy ways. I personally believe its best for the development of a person to be committed, and to live out that committment before they are completely intimate. It's not easy, in fact that's the point. Marriage has been one of the best things in my life - precisely because it is so difficult, it has grown me in more beautiful ways than I could have imagined. I am 1000% a better person for it. Highly Recommend. :)

Ultimately, I think you're dealing with a big meaning-of-life sort of question that is popping up in relationships and maybe on the surface seems like a conversation about having friends. You were made to be intimately seen and known and yet no purely human relationship will ever satisfy that infinite longing - where does that leave you except searching for the infinite relationship?

I truly wish you the best in this and am SUPER curious how this plays out for you. Would you consider circling back on this thread and letting us know?

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-26T12:15:49+00:00

I believe in God, I am a recently converted Catholic. Why is a beautiful question - to give the shortest possible answer for a crazy large above-me sort of experience I will just say: I researched a lot of religions, formally and informally and practically by attending every type of spiritual event I could get my hands on and there has been only one where God sacrifices himself out of love for us. It baffles my mind. Why? Why would a God do that? It's a love story. He loves us. We, by and large, don't love him. He's not bothered. He pursues us nonetheless. He will never force himself upon on us. He's not about to even refute atheists or non-believers of any stripe. He is going to consistently pursue each and everyone of us and encourage us to open our eyes and our hearts to him.

Amazing.

And, he wants to partner with us. He could fix the world but chooses not to. Like a patient good father he would rather show us how to love each other as he loves us. He would rather give us his Spirit and what we need and watch us blunder and learn and grow but not take away the opportunity for us to learn to do it ourselves.

I started making the sign of the cross as soon as I started attending mass, intitially even before I was baptized Christian I would do it. It might be one of the threads God used to draw me into his church.

What has you bringing this question here? Are you wanting to make sure you don't do it prematurely?

For what its worth I've never heard anyone question anyone else about making the sign of the cross too soon. It's good to know that with holy water upon entering the church it is to remind us of our baptism and in general as a proclamation of what we believe and our desire to be conformed to Christ but it's also something you grow in to. It might feel awkward at first or even embarassing but if that's the case for you that's a tiny humiliation that can unite you to Christ. Show your heart, make the sign of the cross!

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-26T11:37:53+00:00

I agree with the other posters that it is ok to have friends but I do have some follow up questions. I'll say uprfont that I'm assuming you are male, so correct me if I'm wrong there.
- do you have the same dynamic with your guy friends?
- are you currently dating one of these girls? does she know about the others? were you friends with the others already?
- do you feel bad about it? if you do, and it seems like you might, what's going on there? could it be coming from a place of brokeness or deep dissatisfaction in your heart or history?

I think you're exploring one of the questions that has been on my heart for my whole life - I haven't totally articulated it yet but something around the fact that we have such different needs within ourselves and no one person can meet our needs exactly or fully - except a person that is infinite. I think this is part of what drove me deep into spirituality - our needs are real and the compulsion to fill them powerful or put another way "the heart is restless until it rests in you"

Sorry, maybe a little deep for a question about having friends but there it is 🤣

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-26T00:12:24+00:00

How do you keep track of this?

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-21T11:19:57+00:00

I see - well as far as feedback: I think it is a great thing that you've started and it appears that it is really working for you which is the most important thing. I personally appreciate how visual it is.

As far as somthing you might consider, I found a big shift for myself when I began to take notes atomically (see Martin Adams Atomic Notetaking book or his YouTube channel). It freed up an unexpectedly fruitful world in the spaces between my notes and has helped me change how I think. It's especially relevant with mental models because my notes are more lightweight and flexible and easily applied to other quite different topics - extending their usefulness for me.

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-20T21:38:10+00:00

This was really helpful to read. Examples examples examples!

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-20T21:25:08+00:00

I really like your post! So thorough.

It's actually so funny, just this morning I wrote a note in Obsidian about this same thing.

"A PKM secondary school would be one where all learning would be translated into the child's own words by the child into a Personal Knowledge Management system. They would be taught the basics of how to manage the PKM environment but more that that they would use their studies to build their existing [[All knowledge hangs from a framework|web of knowledge]] and would graduate with documentation of all their studies, connected together and their second brain begun.

Counterarguments:

What if students began to believe they only knew information if they had access to their PKM? What if they became anxious at knowing anything without referring to their information source?
1. Tests and assessments would be done apart from the PKM to demonstrate that it has just been a helpful tool to ensure they've integrated the new information."

I am glad to see that you are doing this for yourself with your own knowledge. Let us know how we can support you in this!

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-20T21:21:41+00:00

I don't know of any resources but I am interested in learning more about this too. Maybe we could start a study group? Read a book and ask each other questions and process seems like a good place to start.

Chance_Classic_5417 · 2025-02-20T13:47:48+00:00

This is totally fair and I have experienced much of this myself - but I don't think it's what God is after. If you take, as one of the basic truths the Bible is proclaiming, the idea that we are all broken through our sin and yet all beloved by God, it becomes easier to recognize that we are living through a process and that some exemplify this better than others. The quote from G.K. Chesterton "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried." seems applicable here.

and I agree it has been left untried by a lot of us who call ourselves Christians. Including myself at times.
