The internet is a minefield of note-taking apps, systems and general confusion, but you don’t have to let it affect you.

There’s a way to build a note-taking practice that doesn’t require trying hundreds of these ‘solutions’, and can be applied at exactly the scale that you need to work effectively.

It comes under the name of Minimal Note-Taking, and this is what you can learn in my new book!

But first of all…

Why a book?

It’s a fair question. The first thing we launched was an Obsidian vault template, and then we moved to a community with video courses to keep everything centralised.

So, it might seem like a step backwards to write a book. But I don’t think so.

After all, this entire business is built upon long-form writing. I shared articles here on Medium for months and months before I earned a single dollar.

And so to me, it makes sense to honour that by writing a book. To put the best of the ideas that I’ve explored, and more, into one place. One superior resource for Minimal Note-Taking and personal knowledge management.

What will it be about?

In truth, I’ve not written much of the book’s contents yet. We’re focusing on pre-launching (more below), with plans to keep writing once this is all sorted out.

But the idea is to create a one-stop guide to effective note-taking, no matter the app or system.

Minimal Note-Taking as an idea has underlined almost everything I’ve talked about on this Medium page and my YouTube channel, after I first mentioned it in August 2023…

I believe it to be the real most important part of note-taking, rather than the system and app that you use, or what you use the system for.

The book’s going to teach you these principles and a framework for taking notes simply and effectively that will last you not until your system breaks or your app goes out of business, but for your entire life.

How to get the book yourself…

By going to PARAZETTEL.com/book, you can read more, watch me launch pre-orders and get your hands on one yourself.

Over the pre-order launch weekend you can secure your future copy for $6.99, after which you’ll be able to do so for $13.99.

And by pre-ordering or signing up to the updates email list, you’ll get loads of inside content, including vlogs, around the process and lifestyle I’m living to put this together for you.

It’s the largest life project I’ve ever embarked upon, and it’s going to be a great growth and progression experience for everyone involved.

Thank you so much for supporting the ideas and insight that I’m sharing around note-taking and PKM. It means the world that I can work upon this.
