A Flexible Framework for Managing Life Knowledge
The PathMaker app is organized around 5 primary tools and a content repository. These tools are interconnected yet serve distinct purposes:
- My Journal – Capture personal reflections, emotions, and daily thoughts as they arise.
- Insight Manager – Manage and organize your key life insights and experiences.
- Decision Manager – Apply your knowledge to make thoughtful, intentional decisions.
- Mindfulness Manager – Reflect on how your experiences and decisions shape your personal growth.
- Life Book – A searchable, living archive of your journey—everything you’ve documented, organized in one place.
Each tool enables you to create structured ‘cards’—entries related to specific knowledge gained (Insight Manager), key decision points (Decision Manager), or personal observations (Mindfulness Manager). You can search, sort, and update these cards at any time. Each tool also guides you through a simple process, helping you capture insights in a meaningful and consistent way.
Keyword Search & Tagging: Stay Organized and Discover Patterns
Once you’ve added content to your cards, PathMaker makes it easy to find what you need. Use keyword search to instantly locate any entries and add flexible tags to organize your life knowledge in ways that matter to you.
Standard Tag Types:
- Persons – Who was involved
- Events – What happened
- Locations – Where it occurred
- Dates/Times – When it happened
- Reasons – Why it happened
- Process – How it came about
Unique Tag Types:
- Bucket List – Track your dreams and goals
- VIP – Remember important people
- Biography – Capture someone’s story
- Autobiography – Document your own life story
- Life Changer – Mark transformative moments
- Path Blocker – Highlight what holds you back
- Path Accelerator – Note what propels you forward
- Danger Zone – Flag situations that lead to unhelpful patterns
- Self-Talk – Capture internal dialogue that influences your journey
These tags help you quickly locate key information and also reveal patterns over time—helping you make more informed decisions and reflect with greater depth. Standard tags focus on factual context, while unique tags add a layer of personal insight.
The PathMaker Way: Transform Knowledge into Growth
The true value of captured knowledge lies in how you apply it. PathMaker guides you through a structured process to make your insights actionable:
- Reflect – Identify how this life knowledge applies to your journey.
- Inquire – Explore further through discussion, research, or personal insight.
- Document – Record your findings and determine how you’ll use them.
- Plan – Translate insight into intentional steps forward.
- Adjust – Monitor your path and refine your direction as needed.
“The person who fails to plan is planning to fail.” — Paraphrased from Winston Churchill
“We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.” — Paraphrased from Thomas S. Monson
All of these actions are seamlessly supported within the PathMaker App—empowering you to live with clarity, purpose, and flexibility as your knowledge grows
