I don’t have a problem with PKM as a referencing tool.
But step 2 “Organize → Place in buckets or categories” creates all sorts of problem:
When you delegate your info into existing categories, at least 2 problems arise:

2. Low cognitive load: the struggle is essential for encoding → more forgetting.
