Personal information management (PIM) is self-explanatory as it is.

This also includes managing [[id:ccb3bc14-a801-4ed0-b066-50b1bcd853aa][File metadata]], [[roam:Note-taking]], library management, and much more.


* Practicing information management

While there's no correct way to practice PIM but to start:

- [[id:66337935-420c-40e6-81a6-f74ab0965ed5][Maintain your own digital library]] which can make managing personal belongings from your personal photos, academic libraries and references, and your anime collection all the more easier.

- While not a good one, the 3-2-1 rule is a good starting point for practicing backups.
  The rule is simple: 3 copies of your data stored in 2 media (e.g., internal hard drive, external storage) with at least 1 of them stored offsite of your computer (e.g., remote location, cloud service).

- Start to manage [[id:ccb3bc14-a801-4ed0-b066-50b1bcd853aa][File metadata]] but only for the most relevant resources.

Update the files for convention Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way. 2021-04-01 16:08:15 +00:00			`#+title: Personal information management`

Update PIM notes Hmmm... I can't seem to escape to take notes abou note-taking. But then again, note-taking is a form of PIM. 2021-05-07 04:08:40 +00:00			`#+date_modified: "2021-05-07 11:50:54 +08:00"`

Reformat the wiki Create a unified format for my wiki. Unfortunately, since most of my notes are created on a whim and I don't care much about metadata at the time, the timestamps are only approximations from my memory. 2020-09-08 21:28:33 +00:00
