So... you want a tool that automatically organizes your knowledge?

Stop.

What you actually want isn't to organize things,

it's to make things.

That's why we built Sublime different—a PKM (stands for Personal Knowledge Management, for the blissfully uninitiated) tool designed for creation, not just organization.

Tags don't make things.

You slap #AI or #philosophy on a card and call it “organized.”

But what happens?

Nothing.

No sparks.

Just a graveyard of dead ideas.

Tags made sense pre-AI.

They answered: “How will I find this later?”

AI search solved that—you'll find it.

Now, ask the real question:

“Why would I want to find this later?”

AI in Sublime doesn't auto-tag,

because context is king .

A quote about time might belong in “Essays on procrastination” for you, but for someone else it may belong in “Course on Entropy.”

Tags are generic.

Collections are intentional, and personal.

Not categories, but containers of purpose.

Instead of thinking: “How do I tag this?”

Think: “When will I need this?”

The right PKM tool doesn't just store your past.

It orients you toward future outcomes.

A question you're exploring.

A hunch you're developing.

A project that's starting to take shape.

Try it yourself.

Think of a project you're working on, a question you're fascinated by or a context you often return to, and make a collection for it.

Bad: #AI

Good: How will AI change user interfaces?

Here are some actual collections I have, and what purpose they serve(d):

“Creativity > Productivity” → Became an essay read by 30k+ people

“Dreaming of a better internet” → Became a zine that sold 500+ copies

“Good cold emails” → Private, my secret weapon for crafting messages strangers actually reply to.

“Prompting” → Go-to prompt library to get 10x more out of LLMs

“Phrases I love” → Private, my go-to when I need to break writer's block fast

The goal isn't perfect organization.

The goal is to make something wonderful.

P.S. This is the TL;DR version of a 2hr workshop I did on building a knowledge library for creative work. If you want to see this philosophy in action, watch the full thing here.
