The Road to Macstock Conference and Expo takes us to a conversation with someone we always learn from, Mike Schmitz of Practical PKM. Mike discusses his workshop that will focus on personal knowledge management, intentional living, and journaling for personal growth. He emphasizes translating complex concepts into practical applications, using vision and values for guidance, and the benefits of journaling with tools like Apple's Journal app. Transitioning to his Macstock presentation, Mike explores mind mapping for idea development and organization, highlighting its use in creative workflows, and stresses the importance of finding tools that suit individual preferences.
