Map #38 - Personal Knowledge Management Concepts (2025-2065) - A Speculative Lens

Map 37: How to organize a collection of books about writing fiction to use them effectively in a revision process. See the accompanying blog post.

Map #36 - Word Map
It may be the first time I work on a map that is just exploring a word. This really started with the verb "to percolate" in English, which is a word I think about often and like. While I don't go around saying that "I'm percolating", I do often feel that thoughts need time to percolate and mature before I try to articulate them on paper or out loud. Of course, a map can support the percolation and so can writing.

Map #35 Food for Thoughts
This is about the trail of thoughts that started with a scan of a WEF report on food and water systems leading to reflections on pivots and resilience. Combining that with the Unlocked podcast with Madelyn Blair resulted in the blog post about Knowledge and Resilience and I ended up writing the blog post about Pivots and Pathways.

Map # 34 - French Soundtrack Composers (Revisited)
See the original Map #1, and the associated blog post. Updated 8/29/24

Map #33 - Topic Map using tagging in TiddlyMap
In this case the topic selected for the map was "Insight Mapping" and the nodes refer to individual notes captured in TiddlyMap while the connecting lines (edges) are the relationships. Some of them are journal notes and you can see one book. The only relationship shown in this map is a topic tag, which means that all nodes on the map were tagged with the "Insight Mapping" topic. This is representing a very small fraction of all the nodes (1500+) and relationships.

Map #32 - Brainstorming around Waste Management and Technology Solutions within a system

Map #31 - George Mason University - ODKM Program
A Map of the KM and Collaborative Work class I teach

Map # 30 - Questions to Ask When Starting a New Job

Map # 29 - First 100 Days on the Job - Horizontal Layout

Map # 28 - First 100 Days on the Job - Circular Layout

Map # 27 - Networking (an initial attempt at mapping a simple causal loop). This implies and does not sufficiently represents the learning process that is required to make this a positively self-reinforcing loop. It could as well become a negative experience.
