When it comes to PKM, it's important to embrace that there’s no one app fits all approach.
I created a process that focuses on using different tools for different contexts.
My approach aimed to choose at least 3 apps in each category, focused on fitting the Apple ecosystem which involves my iPad/iPhone/Mac/Watch OS.
It may seem like a lot of tools and contexts, but I gave up the perfect note-taking system and seemed to find a happy-medium for my personal knowledge management app stack as follows:
