Despite the writing quality and the intelligent approach, I found that the added value for me was quite limited. Probably because I realize that I am already quite advanced on that curve and that my homemade systems actually rival or exceed what Forte has to offer.
His method revolved about CODE (Capture-Organize-Distill-Express) which I see as GTD principles applied to Knowledge management. Although Forte pays his homage to David Allen, I see CODE as nothing more than an extension of GTD. It would be worth an extra chapter in GTD rather than a stand-alone book. The Second method presented is PARA (Projects-Areas-Resources-Archives) which clearly originates from classifying files in Windows Explorer, and I find obsolete in the cloud world where we mostly manage digital notes that can be easily linked and tagged. In that, August Bradley’s PPV (Pillars-Pipeline-Vaults) is I believe infinitely superior.
So all in all, good ideas and a good start from someone starting from scratch in personal knowledge management, but the techniques presented are not the powerhorse I expected, given Forte’s success and media exposure.

Weak points
