Workshop 8 of Linking Your Thinking (LYT) has started welcoming and onboarding folks in advance of the first Super Session on Tuesday, June 14 at 9:00am (PDT)/16:00 UTS. During LYT 8, I will serve among a group of Facilitators helping students wayfind throughout the workshop. Community LYT is intended to be a sporadic series of essays related to my past and in-process LYT experience and perspectives.
PKM Planet
My first LYT was in Cohort 4a (Sept 2021). Onboarding eventually includes completing a PKM Planet survey, based on Nick Milo’s (creator and founder of LYT) PKM Planet explained in this video.
Therefore, the first time I took the survey was in September 2021 for Cohort 4a, then again as part of the previous LYT Workshop 7 in February 2022. Here is a comparison of the results.
Here is a comparison of both results.
Thinking Drivers
I took this survey back in Sept 2021. In comparison to current/Feb 2022, Thinking Drivers Idea-Driven and Output-Driven shifted up.
Feb 2022 top 3 drivers
Output
Idea
Relationship
Sept 2021 top 3-drivers (baseline)
Relationship
Idea
Improvement
INTERESTING to me (about the same)
Memory
Productivity
Thinking Styles
My Thinking Style flipped (from Sept 2021 to Feb 2022) from top-down to bottom-up.
And yes, I do think LYT has influenced my shifts in Thinking Drivers.
Relevance of context. Other influences are that I am involved in project activities where idea-driven is needed, and I am reframing my business endeavors.
On Productivity-driven, my guess is that the shift is partly because, from BASB/Building a Second Brain practices, I circled back on my PKM workflow, infused teachings and practices from LYT. I triaged my note-take/-make apps and continued toward approaching note-making (via adjustments in my capture + organizing process).
I am not surprised about relationship-driven.
Friends and colleagues often call me the brackish social swimmer (a coined phrase - brackish swimming - we use) - where I weave in and out of a variety of communities that often also may appear to be unrelated or disparate from one another.
And I naturally stay connected (directly or indirectly) with individuals or communities as well as ALWAYS connecting folks with each other, with tools and processes, and with communities of practice.
Whether you are part of LYT,
what do you imagine are
your thinking drivers and relative thinking styles?
