A comment on Personal Knowledge Management Is Bullshit.

I use Windows Explorer. Simple folder names like work, with subfolders for employers. Another folder for car, identity, one for medical, another for my son with subfolders for reports, pictures he drew, etc.

I can find anything very quickly. When search fails me because I forgot a vendor name or something, I just navigate the folders.

No software required other than what comes with Windows.

Exactly!

My GF's grandmother was very confused when we didn't know what database (sic!) she has on her computer, she said every computer has it... and then she has shown us her perfect categorization of documents into folders... We (both programmers) felt very dumb that day :-)
