It is amazing how deeply and thoroughly you take over new things. Many of us would have a lot to learn about your study techniques. Thanks for sharing!
❤Had to pause the vid to tell you how much you are appreciated! I'm overwhelmed with gratitude as I appreciate the gift that you are to my life. I've mentioned before that you've developed a magical ability to make the highly complex approachable, but I haven't adequately expressed my deep appreciation for the countless hours you've put in to make it appear magical. 🙏 Thank you!
Im in MBA school and had to take a Management of Technology class. In chapter one of the MOT book, it briefly discuss OPM/OPM and I was completely lost...and it's the first chapter! Your video and notes are extremely helpful to a non-technology focused student & working professional. Thank you for sharing!
Just wanted to stop by and let you know I’m thankful for discovering your TH-cam and enjoy the way you distill complex concepts into something that’s easier to understand. Keep up the amazing work!
thank you - your videos were a touch over my head and forced me to focus and really learn. I found myself being fascinated by the subject and now digging deeper into the OPM subject and your videos! great job teaching us all.
Zsolt, I enjoy all the techniques that you share with us. This I found specially useful to deeply analyze complex problems. I´ll start studying this technique for future problem solving.
For an exploration of Systems Thinking itself and what it means to think in systems I highly recommend the book The Grammar of Systems: From order to chaos and back, by Patrick Hoverstadt. It puts in perspective how systems methodologies such as OPM, system dynamics, soft systems and viable systems models tie in with 9 systems thinking patterns identified by the author - emergence, holism, modelling, boundaries, difference, relating, dynamics and loops, complexity and uncertainty - some of which you've touched on here in your OPM discussion. The 9 "how to thinks" are good reminders when implementing any methodology to keep you aware of the "boundaries" of that method itself and understand you can cross back and forth over those boundaries as necessary, at least in your thinking as you develop your models. I'm no expert in the space, so hopefully I've explained this right. Hoping to do a book-on-a-page for this one to help me grasp it further!
This is so helpful and I look forward to using the ideas and methodologies for personal and work knowledge management. I think this is gonna help me to start using excalidraw more :)
Dear Zsolt, You have drawn a beautiful scheme (11:14). A model is a simplification and deconstruction of the reality. The main trajectory ""research question-content-notes-knowledge base - the answers of the question (including the journal article)"" is not explicit enough. The hidden empirical circle can be translate to a Ishikawa Diagram including your blocks and processes. A manifestation of Occam's razor. Your scheme leads to fundamental questions: - What is the centre of this scheme? The knowledge base or the PKM-framework? - Could the knowledge base be a source for the content? Should it be placed next to the blocks Video, Blog and Book or should these blocks be connected with arrows to the knowledge base? - Can an improvement idea be a pitfall, because there is no feedback between the processes designing and structuring? - Is the process organizing and the block catalogue necessary, if the PKM-framework is a selfindicating unit (ceteris paribus) consisting of the blocks template to zettelkasten? - if data curation is the whole traject of finding the appropriated data to a research question until the provenance of these data, why is the process gardening necessary if it can be subsumed to the data curation? The left side of the eclipse curating is to be implemented with a multiple choise of processes and the rightside contains the blocks of note-taking. The left- and the rightside of eclipse are connected, which can be compared to an old telephone exchange. Cheers genius

Szolt, what is the main purpose to use the object-process methodology in a PKM? - to guide a robot? - to guide domotica? - to rewrite your YAML-scripts, which you use to rule your PKM?
I'm trying your approach for visual thinking after 10 years learning and forgetting things as SE. I wan't to thank you a lot for your videos I believe it's crucial. Just one question about this text near arrow head (0, 1, +, m) - how do you make them? The only option I found in Excalidraw is usual arrow text but it creates additional point for the arrow path that's not convinient
Really enjoyed your take on simplifying complex ideas through effective knowledge organization. Your discussion has me thinking about how invaluable digital tools can be in structuring our personal and collaborative spaces. I have my favorite tool that beautifully aligns with the architect, librarian, gardener, and writer roles you mentioned. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the importance of choosing the right tools to complement our unique ways of organizing and interpreting the world around us.
I believe choosing the right tool is important, but sticking to the tool that you have chosen is even more important. It takes time to learn and effectively use a tool, not to mention the information loss when you are migrating to another. My recommendation is to stick to a tool for at minimum 5+ years, unless you run into an unacceptable blocker (like I did with Roam Research, where it turned out data security was not as high on their agenda as it is on mine). I used TheBrain for almost 2 decades, had a short 1 year flirt with Roam before landing with Obsidian. I don't plan to move for the next many years. I left TheBrain because they were absolutely closed off to plugins and I wanted something like Excalidraw inn Obsidian. I think ownership and longevity of data is much more important when choosing a tool than our primary disposition of being a Librarian, Architect, Gardener or Writer. Our preference will anyway influence how we use the tool.
@@VisualPKM I really appreciate your points on sticking to a tool and the need for data security. Thanks for this insight and the engaging discussion, as it’s opened up new ways for me to use my tool more effectively. I look forward to learning more from you. Cheers!
I love your videos and this niche, beacuse i automate business processes. BTW I am Hungarian too. Please create a video about Chatgpt and AI automation, I am sure, it would be viral. If you want i can help.
Thank you for doing the Dictionary. However, I like to point out that typically the Rectangle stands for Object. Not Thing. As stated in the wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Process_Methodology
As the example shows in this video, Excalidraw is easily portable to Excalidraw.com. Roam and Logseq are a different issue as they have much older version of Excalidraw. If portability is your main concern you can configure the Obsidian plugin to auto export SVG and/or PNG of your drawings so you can keep a rendered copy for safety.

People will be learning Object Oriented programming with this without knowing 😊
Merci Zsolt's pour tous ces outils !

Great. Thanks for the suggestion. I see the book got very good reviews. I've put it on my reading list.
Como siempre, ayudándonos a seguir creciendo, muchas gracias
One my favorite videos of yours. A bit philosophical, a bit geeky, nevertheless very deep and thoughtful.
This chart is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thank you for your videos 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing

Thanks. I will correct that.
Done. If you open the new link in the video description it will take you to the corrected dictionary sheet. Thanks again!
Muito semelhante a linguagem archimate que uso em alguns trabalhos. Usa os conceitos de linguagem natural Subject-verb-object.
excellent
Can obsidian excalidraw plugin easily transform to other platform like roan research, logseq if you want to ? I'd like to know its portability.

Why the freaky pics
I take it you did not like the pics... I thought they added some fun to an otherwise more difficult topic.
