Explanation
A Me Note is a special type of note in a knowledge management system dedicated to documenting information about yourself. Unlike notes about external topics, the Me Note focuses inward, serving as a personal reference and self-reflection tool.
**What to include in a Me Note:**
- **Personal information** - Key facts about yourself for quick reference
- **Health information** - Medical history, medications, allergies, conditions
- **Personal challenges** - Ongoing struggles you're working through
- **Strengths and weaknesses** - Self-awareness documentation
- **Core values and beliefs** - What matters most to you
- **Goals and aspirations** - What you're working toward
- **Personal history** - Key life events and milestones
- **Contact information** - For emergencies or reference
**Benefits of maintaining a Me Note:**
1. **Self-awareness** - Writing about yourself promotes reflection
2. **Quick reference** - Medical info, emergency contacts readily accessible
3. **Pattern recognition** - Track recurring challenges or themes
4. **Goal alignment** - Keep personal objectives visible
5. **Legacy** - Document your story for future reference
The Me Note complements other personal notes like daily journals and the Top of Mind note, but focuses specifically on documenting who you are rather than what you're doing or thinking about at any given moment.
