Welcome back -- and please forgive the slightly late broadcast -- today I'm going to be running you through a little bit of a roadmap for PARAZETTEL, what's going on in my own life so that you can understand what's on my plate and what's coming next. To start, it's an update on the book... ⚠️ Minimal Note-Taking book pushed back to mid-September I was originally launching the Minimal Note-Taking book this upcoming weekend, but there are a few reasons why I've chosen to move it back.. First -...

Welcome back to PZTL -- this week I wrote some articles, kept pressing on with the book manuscript and perhaps most strangely, locked myself inside of Obsidian. Here's the scoop... Locking myself inside Obsidian... Just the other day, when I was coming back from the gym, I had this bright idea to up the stakes for a YouTube video, and come back to releasing content over there with a bang. The raised stakes in question were essentially to use an app blocker (the strictest app blocker might I...

Welcome back, we're edging closer and closer to the Minimal Note-Taking book launch, and first and foremost let me say thank you to everyone who's already pre-ordered. It's not long now, and I can't wait for you to get your hands on the first edition. I'll keep you updated via email about any changes to the launch date, but right now we're still projected for that end-of-the-month weekend of the 28th - 30th. Thanks for remaining patient as I put this piece of work together. I can't wait to...

PZTL 026 - Big time articles + more Foundations Welcome back to PZTL, and our new look! I hope you like it - I realised that we were still cruising with the ordinary design, when we have the scope for looking a little more put together and professional (at least when it comes to the newsletter). So, earlier this week I took an hour or so and put together this new design. We'll still be talking about the same things, just a lot more stylishly. Aside from that, let's get on to this week's...

Welcome back, This week I’ve got one major announcement and a little update on a personal front, about the week that I've just finished in northern Italy. Let’s start with the biggie… Introducing PARAZETTEL Foundations For a long time, the Intro Course for the Community and its members was sparse and uninformed to say the least. I recorded it out in Vietnam, sleep-deprived and a little disoriented, and it served as my main introductory route into the private ecosystem (i.e. the email list and...

The last few weeks have been rather scattered. I've been working with ProseLab a lot, travelled to France for a short while, and have found little time to share updates within the PZTL newsletter. That being said, you might have read my email a couple of days ago about the book and where it stands, but I made you an offer - we'll start with that, in case you missed it... Get the Minimal Note-Taking course when you pre-order the book I've decided, in the wake of discontinuing the PARAZETTEL...

This weekend I’ve been launching PARAZETTEL V5, and from tomorrow, it’s going to be closed to new purchases. Here’s why I’m doing this, and a link to get in, if you’ve missed everything so far… PARAZETTEL V5 We’ve been building the same product for almost three years now, since I started writing about the topic of PKM back in early 2023. It’s become a treasure trove of knowledge, however it’s going to keep getting older as the months pass, the app updates and new changes to the field of...
