It's worth it.
Previously I would save notes and never use them. Now my notes are set up in a way that I get more projects done. Having reference material progressively summarized makes collecting ideas and shaping it into a deliverable way easier. Loading context for a project is way easier with a system like this, it makes an interruption much less painful.
The other benefit of taking the course is the forum, plenty of smart people to meet, discuss pkm and other ideas.
