Welcome back, we've got a jam-packed issue this week, so I'm not going to hang around. We'll be talking about PARAZETTEL Foundations, as well as the new content of the week and a new home for the PZTL newsletter. Let's start with the former... PARAZETTEL Foundations starts tomorrowOur new flagship program goes live tomorrow, so today's the last chance you'll have to be involved. We walk you through building an effective note-taking system that's actually aligned with your work and your goals. That's the difference between this and the old PARAZETTEL for Obsidian template - you're building something that works for you from scratch, rather than me taking an educated guess at what you need and dumping it in your lap. You build the 'Foundations' better because you're the one who's actually put them together. If you want to be a part of this, we've still got slots open until the end of the day, and I'll tell you the truth - we're closing for the roll-out, and I don't know how long things will stay the same after the fact. I'm envisioning a free community setup for PARAZETTEL, where I have a small, concentrated group join Foundations in a separate location, so that I can give more personal assistance to people about taking notes well, calls and live sessions and the like. So, if you want in for what's definitely going to be the best return on investment for the run-through, you can join Foundations with the button below and I'll see you on the inside for starting tomorrow!
New content for the week
https://medium.com/obsidian-observer/how-to-change-your-life-with-note-taking-15a95044b137 I wrote this piece almost to mark the transition between offering the PARAZETTEL template and the PARAZETTEL Foundations program. You see, I rounded things off nicely after PARAZETTEL V5 back at the start of June, but there wasn't really much hint as to what I was going to be offering next as my newer instalment of education. This article is there to bridge the gap, and it starts to outline some of the most Foundational (again, sorry) ideas that I've developed whilst in the space, the ones that have had most impact in 'changing my life'. And, finally, we've got a new home for the newsletter! PZTL's new homeMy problem with the original newsletter setup was that it was too integrated and too hidden into the website. I'd also have to write for the website, and then port the stuff over to Kit, reformat, add clicks and all the like. Now, we use Kit directly to host the PZTL newsletter over on letters.parazettel.com, where you can sign up and read (a few) back issues. We're also keeping most of the back issues private for now, because I'm trying out a few different incentives to join the newsletter, with one of them being content exclusivity - if you don't subscribe, you don't read. That kind of thing. Right now, I like it. The formatting is quite simple, and you're quite limited with design and presentation, which suits me otherwise I'd spend my whole life trying to tweak and correct things.

Aside from this, that's this week wrapped up -- If you want to be a part of PARAZETTEL Foundations, you need to join before the end of the day. Other than that, we'll be back to normal broadcasting next week! See you then, -- Theo More from PARAZETTEL...

Welcome back to PZTL, Today our main update is that we're publishing the Introduction to the Minimal Note-Taking book. At the time of writing I'm on the back of a FlixBus back to Bristol from London, having spent the weekend shooting photos for an event. This weekend was supposed to be the publish date of the entire book, but I need a couple more weeks to get everything together, so we're now publishing on the weekend closest to the 3rd anniversary of the flagship PARAZETTEL for Obsidian...
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...
