I've been passionate about Information Management (IM), Knowledge Management, and PKM for [more than 20 years](https://pkmjournal.com/25-years-of-personal-knowledge-management-from-scattered-ideas-to-networked-thoughts-661e06855839). As an author, blogger, knowledge worker, and entrepreneur, I needed solutions to store and organize an enormous amount of information. Over the years, I've explored, used, and advocated many tools. I have settled on Obsidian, but the techniques I rely on can be applied to many other tools as well. I've spent months refining and perfecting my Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system, and have spent countless hours tweaking my approach. I've published various articles to share [some](https://pkmjournal.com/personal-knowledge-management-organization-c42c5da3c878) [ideas](https://pkmjournal.com/25-years-of-personal-knowledge-management-from-scattered-ideas-to-networked-thoughts-661e06855839) [about](https://dsebastien.net/blog/2022-04-19-single-source-of-truth) this. My system combines the Zettelkasten approach, the PARA method, the Johnny decimal system, and other ideas to create a solid basis for my work as an author, blogger, and content creator. I am very involved in the Personal Knowledge Management community, for which I'm building products, communities, and creating content to help newcomers as well as more advanced users get further. I have created the [Obsidian Starter Kit](https://obsidianstarterkit.com/), the [Personal Knowledge Management Library](https://developassion.gumroad.com/l/PersonalKnowledgeManagementLibrary), the [PKM Journal](https://pkmjournal.com/), the [PKM sub-reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/PersonalKnowledgeMgmt/), the [PKM Slack community](https://dsebastien.net/pkm-community), etc. I've decided to dedicate more of my time to coaching PKM enthusiasts and share what I've learned so far. During the coaching session(s): - We will explore the concepts, techniques, and best practices that I rely on daily and recommend - I will guide you through what I consider to be a well-structured, scalable and maintainable Personal Knowledge Management system - I will explain my workflows and processes to you - I will (try to) answer all the questions you might have - I will remain available after our session if you have questions, need advice, or help After the coaching sessions, I will remain available to answer additional questions. ## Testimonials "Sébastien thinks everything from first principles, the systems and ideas we discussed are well thought from multiple angles and I'm going to integrate them in my own specific setup" **— Adrian Craciun (via mail)** "I just had a coaching session with Sébastien Dubois on how to use Obsidian for my atomic essays, and it was an incredibly helpful experience. Sébastien's expertise with Obsidian is evident from the start, and he has a remarkable ability to understand my need and to explain complex workflows in a clear and concise manner. Throughout the session, Sébastien provided super practical tips and strategies that I could implement immediately. He walked me through the process of organizing and linking my essays from Evernote, making my writing and linking process much more efficient and structured. His guidance on how to leverage the power of Obsidian's features of dataview and project view plug in was particularly valuable for creating a content database Sébastien's approach was client oriented and tailored to my needs, making the session feel personalized and highly relevant to my specific goals. I left the session feeling more confident that I am on the right track. If you're looking to enhance your writing process with Obsidian, I highly recommend a session with Sébastien." **— Anonymous**
