The best strategy for note-taking comes from this Jordan Peterson monologue.

When asked for his advice on effective communication, he said,

Thankfully, there's an alternative way. (No CSS required!)

👇 But before we start, I have one question for you...

The first time I saw Obsidian, I thought it was a programming app. 🤣 Did you also get that vibe?

It felt cold. Distant. Nerdy.

DAY 14/30

I've spent 7 days reading Niklas Luhmann Estate's docs on his Zettlekasten, (so you don't have to.) 😅

Here are 5 surprising truths I found.

Not impressed? I don't blame you.
