Welcome back to PZTL,
It’s another busy week, with a lot to share, across many domains of the business, including new content, pushing an old offer and a new home for these newsletters.
We’ll start with what happened about 24 hours ago…
Book-writing workshop & Insider access

We held a workshop to introduce the initial outlining and research strategies I’m using to prepare this project, including the Obsidian plugins and Claude Code prompts and processes.
It was free to attend live, but now the recording is only accessible to Minimal Note-Taking book Insiders.
This is a small group (limited to 20 places, with several already filled) who’re helping me with the publishing process.
By joining, you get eyes on my strategy, exclusive chapter drafts that nobody else will see, and a physical copy of the book mailed to you when we publish, that will mention you by name in the acknowledgements.
Head to the following page to get access to the Minimal Note-Taking Insider group…

Get a limited hardback copy of the book and exclusive access to snippets, drafts and more, with your name in the acknowledgements...
There’s new Premium content on the way next week as well…
Building and maintaining a website in Obsidian
We’ve had people ask questions about how to use Obsidian and Claude Code to build a website.
So I’m putting together a module about it within the Claude Code x Obsidian segment of PARAZETTEL Premium.
There’ll be more details about this in the near future, but just know you’ll have a chance to access these resources for free before you commit to joining.
Stay tuned!
The argument for a physical scratchpad
This is my content offering for the week - after all the discourse about Claude Code and AI at large, I thought it high time that I explained how I step back from all the shininess and ensure that my brain still operates from the perspective of idea generation, rather than prompt generation…

There's no such thing as notebook zero, and that's why it works...
And finally…
A new home for the PZTL newsletter
We’re sharing the weekly letters on Medium now instead, rather than inside the email list.
But don’t fret - they’re all still going to be posted on the https://PARAZETTEL.com/letters page at the same time, so that you can read it even though you’re not a Medium member.
This email list will remain open for new content releases, like upcoming workshops or course updates, and will be where you can receive the insider scoop on the best deals within PARAZETTEL.
So you can follow PZTL on Medium, even myself if you don’t already, and you’ll still have this newsletter in your inbox every week, with a more integrated tie-in for new content (from videos to articles).
Thanks for reading! Check out the linked stuff in this issue, it’s an important one.
See you next week from PZTL on Medium,
– Theo
