This weekend’s workshop is fast closing in upon us! And like I promised last week, I’ve written a little introduction to the topic…

Claude Code x Obsidian: Time to Stop Ignoring Al in PKM?
After keeping my distance, Al has crept into my workflows, and I thought you should hear about it...
During the workshop (free to attend for everyone on this list), we’ll cover what Claude Code is, how to set it up and how to start using it for notes, as well as a few of the use cases that exist for the tool, and how to start using Skills (i.e. packaged prompts) for more extensibility
This combination of Obsidian and Claude Code is taking the knowledge management side of the internet by storm, and although I’m traditionally very slow-moving and skeptical when it comes to things like this, I’ve been sucked into using these two myself.
And in the workshop, I want to show you how.
In other news…
Time for a health kick…
Right now, as I knuckle down in Da Nang, Vietnam, for another long(ish) stretch of living here, I’ve found it’s been difficult to keep my physical health up.
It felt as though, even though I’d not been training or exercising particularly hard throughout my travels, that I was still pretty much keeping good shape.
Well, that’s changed in the last month or so - I must have crossed some invisible activation energy of negligence, because my appetite has dropped, and I’ve become noticeably slower and weaker in the gym.
Aside from this, mentally, I’m feeling good - working on PARAZETTEL all the time keeps me fulfilled, and it means that there’s always something to be getting on with, but I know that mental health ties in very heavily with physical health.
If I don’t keep my body running running, there’s a break in the links of the virtuous cycle that keep both it and my mind happy, and I won’t be able to continue working at the level I am right now.
And so that’s why I’m getting back on track. I’ve got a membership for the closest gym, and I’m stopping as many extra-curricular activities so that I can invest more on good food to nourish me. My appetite was way off in comparison to normal, and this was one of the leading signals that something had changed significantly in my body.
But I’m not too worried. Work in the morning and early afternoon with gym later was how I made most of my progress across my life in the past, so I just need to jump back on to this rhythm.
Aside from workshop prep, I’m putting the courses and session resources up as pay-once options as well, to give you all more flexibility to access the resources you think will help you the most.
More about this next week, when the process is complete!
See you then,
