AI notes and a second brain

About this course

This course is about no longer forgetting the important stuff and making your notes actually work for you instead of turning into a graveyard of entries. It solves a specific problem: note-taking systems usually get abandoned by week three, and old notes are impossible to find or use exactly when you need them.

The course follows the note lifecycle — capture, process, retrieve, output — grounded in real habits: the five-second rule and a single entry point, capturing from meetings and reading, turning raw notes into atomic ones, AI-assisted processing through compression and questions, links between notes, a 20-minute weekly review, and turning your archive into a draft text in an hour.

It's for people who've tried keeping notes and quit, as well as people starting from zero who want a system that outlasts three weeks. You'll need access to your existing notes — most tasks are built on them.

What you'll learn

• Build a minimal system with three places instead of fifteen
• Capture thoughts from conversations, meetings, reading, and voice in five seconds
• Turn raw entries into atomic notes in your own words
• Use AI as a processor: compression, questions, key points
• Build links between notes and declutter the archive on schedule
• Query your archive and assemble a topic dossier out of scattered notes
• Run a 20-minute weekly review and retain knowledge through repetition
• Turn notes into a finished text or decision in about an hour

What you'll end up with

• A capture loop running for seven days with a single entry point
• A processed archive — at least fifteen raw entries in a title-statement format
• A topic dossier built from the archive, with eight answered questions linked to source notes
• A finished text of 700+ words assembled from your notes, plus a certificate on paid plans

Not for people looking for a magic app that does it for them — you'll build and test your own system on your own notes.
