And I am back on YouTube!

Let's talk about the common challenges every note-taker faces when trying to create a knowledge system that works for them.

In which step are you in this journey?

If memorisation was real learning, Alexa would have a PhD by now.

I used to think knowing something meant I could recall it on demand.

In school, I was great at storing information. I would memorise it, recall it for the exam, and then… forget everything.

I have been using AI a lot these days for copyediting. It is excellent for that, but I found one problem though.

It is taking away my voice.

You wouldn’t let a stranger live in your house. So why let them occupy your mind?

If a random person knocked on your door and asked to move in, you would say no.

But every day, strangers move into your mental space — rent-free.

I never imagined I would be reading about the "extreme points of Butan" on my insomnia nights 😅

So it doesn’t matter if you're a company in the US, China, or elsewhere. DeepSeek should be a cue to pivot HARD toward investing in far more efficient methods of AI development. Even if you care nothing about community & climate impacts, it’s just better business. 19/

Today I officially emigrated from X — and it feels good 😊

"I want membership to feel like a warm hug"

If someone is feeling cold on a "corner" then something needs to change — it's not a community anymore.

If it feels like a warm hug then we are doing it right

I usually analyse and detail everything, but this time "a feeling" is the best explanation

新年快乐 🎆

Coming soon..

I lived last night one breath at a time.

Having #StormÉowyn shaking the whole house was super scary 😬

This week I entered "hermit mode".

Emails and messages are piling up, but I hope to come out of it with a fully self-paced course soon.

Modules 1 and 2 are coming together nicely 😊

3 years ago I started a newsletter on a whim.

Someone suggested and I had something I wanted to fix:

A mindset (and culture).

The name has changed, I built a business around it, and yet the initial passion remains the same:

Proving that research can be easy.

The smallest habit — writing down a single thought each day — might become the most life-changing thing you ever do.

Here are real comments from participants at the 100 days of note-taking challenge

🧵

You don’t need a fancy app, a perfect system, or multi-coloured highlights to succeed at note-taking.

All you need is 15 minutes a day.

Let me show you how.

🧵

We don't know where our research path will bring us, but the beginning of the path is right there.

Just under your feet.

What will be your next step?
