From Chaos to Published! An Actionable Course for Prolific Creators
All your ideas, writing and content in one place. The Zettelkästen Method is perfect for writers and content creators who want to become prolific.
FOR YEARS, I struggled to organize my ideas, scattered across countless apps, devices, and notebooks. I tried everything—digital planners, OneNote, Evernote, Roam Research—you name it. Still, my writing remained chaotic and disconnected.
Then, I discovered a hidden gem: a smart note-taking system that writers have quietly used for over 300 years. After implementing this little-known method from Germany, I couldn't believe the transformation. My articles and books practically wrote themselves!
Zettelkästen is a 17th-century German word that translates as "slipbox." But you don't need a crash course in learning German to figure this out. Any creator can use this simple but effective note-taking system.
Famous writers and thinkers built personal slipboxes to store THOUSANDS of categorized notes and ideas. These writers and thinkers turned their ideas into public works like articles, speeches, and books. Writers have used the Zettelkästen Method for hundreds of years, but don't let its age fool you.
Today, comedians, literary writers, bloggers, content creators, and even a US president use variations of this method to write everything from speeches to stand-up routines.
And with modern tools and AI assistants, it's easier than ever to amplify your ideas. When you combine the Zettelkästen method with AI tools like ChatGPT, you'll create content that's no one else can generate or copy.
The Zettelkästen Method is even more valuable now than in the 17th century. I use this system daily to write online using one or two affordable apps, which I demo in the course.
This method allows you to organize your ideas and writing in just 30 minutes a week. It’s ideal for CREATORS in every niche or industry.
And this method will help you stand out from the deluge of AI slop slop polluting the net
