PIM is different for everyone...
So I have yet to find the PIM solution that fits the way I think, work, behave, and interact with the information around me. After thinking for a while that maybe I was just crazy, I’ve come to the conclusion that the PIM concept is really just different for everyone. The reason I think that the “Personal Information Management” idea breaks down is that everyone has a different “Personal Information Model” that is unique to their life, circumstances, and goals. I find it a constant struggle to try to bend tools to fit the way I work and live. With the thought that there just plain isn’t a tool out there that is going to fit, I need to revisit how I might meet my information mgmt needs. Maybe I’ll ramble about all the stuff I’ve tried later and all the nooks and crannies of technology where I expect a solution to fit .
