Just a simple Hi from me!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say hi from Sweden to everyone - my name is David and I am a seeker of a PKM system. I have tried many, and been back and forth about different ideas. Somehow though, I tend to circle back to the idea behind the JD-system. Funny, somehow, because it’s sort of the opposite of where all the new technology is moving with auto-everything and AI.

Oh, I am an Excel entertainer/content creator and educator (mostly in Swedish), and BI consultant running a small consultancy firm with my wife (also it consultant).

Anyways - just saying hi here! I look forward to digging into the forum!
Best regards,
:: David
Stockholm, Sweden

Wow you had me at Excel entertainer, is there content in English I can view?! I’m so intrigued.

@johnnydecimal will probably chime in later on the whole PKM subject :wink: Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite lol. You could start by reading this bit he wrote earlier.

Welcome to the community :slight_smile: !!
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask them here on in the discord.

I just want links to these Excel pieces. Videos? Please!

Welcome. I hope we can help. I think JD is a pragmatic solution to some of life’s problems — see the link that @_fj kindly shared.

We try not to be dogmatic; to be flexible. So hopefully there’s something here for you. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your reply, see - this is where it really gets interesting - I think! Because I would love to have a system where I could store both the shoe sizes of my children (I can not for the life of me remember, and it’s also a moving target!), like “straight facts” like that. But also save loose thoughts I get after listening to a podcast, or when I am out and about and stumbles upon a cool fact or something that I would like to just write down to not loose it.

well - I do publish a video with a short Excel tip every Thursday, and have done that for 364 Thursdays straight, so - given that it’s Thursday today - this is my latest video:

And it gives you a perfect opportunity to practice your Swedish :laughing:! (…however, I assume that YouTube translates my handcrafted subtitles so that you at least can get some kind of feeling what it’s all about! :joy:)
