Today we’re announcing PARAZETTEL V5 - this issue will tell you what that means (AI-enabled, making your note-taking purer), and how you can get your hands on it.

The PARAZETTEL V5 update

After a break of almost nine months since the last major update, PARAZETTEL V5 is coming!

And this version’s going to be all about AI (controlled, limited and completely optional, don’t worry).

There’ll be downloadable files to start building an agent’s second brain in the template, as well as an entire module added to the PARAZETTEL course to help you do this on your own terms, to the extent that you like.

I’ve become more and more convinced that correct use of AI in PKM actually makes the entire process of ’note-taking’ more pure.

We used to have to spend time with busywork, admin tasks, organising our notes and remembering the insights from them.

Now AI can do all of this for us, and resurface the right ideas at the right time. Our jobs now, only have to be capturing events, ideas and insights, and then turning these into output. AI can be handed the admin and organisational work inside of these two events.

And so how does one get their hands on the PARAZETTEL V5 update?

— for people who aren’t Premium yet…

I’ve put together a limited-time bundle - you can get everything inside of PARAZETTEL Premium (V5 update included), for a one-off price.

This means no recurring payments and to cap it off, there’s a money-back guarantee too.

When you click below, see the offer and join, you’re going to get the best of my expertise from taking notes minimally, based entirely around the same system I used throughout studies, online business and more.

Taking notes in such a variety of contexts puts me in the best position to show you what’s useful and what’s not in a world full of marketing, smoke and mirrors. Believe me - the reality of a good system is much simpler than you realise.

Anyway - if you want to get hold of the limited-time offer (the price is going up once the vault update’s actually out), then click the link below…

An update on the Minimal Note-Taking book

Part of the reason that I’m releasing PARAZETTEL V5 is to give you a good resource before I turn my focus more to the Minimal Note-Taking book, so that I can finish writing and get it into your hands.

Once the book is out, it opens the door to more personal work — setting up systems for individuals, whether professionals, business owners or creators.

Either way, once the PARAZETTEL V5 launch is done, you’ll hear a lot more from me (including videos and other inside scoops) about the book and the publishing process.

Content notifications, and the reality of AI in PKM

We’ve returned to regular notifications of new content this week, so in this section now, you can look forward to the 1 or max 2 pieces of content that have resonated with the internet at large in the given week.

As for this week…

Now although AI’s the way to take your note-taking to the next level, you’re going to be wasting your time if you don’t have a good repository of personal notes, life documentation and general ideas to work from.

This video goes into more detail about the three sections of my vault that are absolutely fundamental to nail, before we do anything with AI - the Zettelkasten, Periodic Notes and an Inbox.

I’ve also started posting a little more over on Twitter, using it as a testing ground for my shorter ideas, learning which ones have traction.

I’m still low on engagement on that platform though, so head over there and hit follow if you’ve got an account!

That’s all for this week, thank you for sticking with me - the universe of PARAZETTEL is rippling.

We’re upgrading slowly, making the right decisions, keeping things simple. There’s a lot more to come!
