  • 71 Lessons

Are you ready to transform how you think, create, and organize your ideas? This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of visual thinking through 49 self-paced video lessons (+1 containing the Demo Vault). You'll engage with an actual book, The Extended Mind, guiding you to process its insights into a Book-on-a-Page, creating permanent notes, and developing a final presentation to tell your story.

While in the course we'll use tools like Obsidian, Excalidraw, and Readwise, the concepts and techniques you learn are transferable to many other platforms. This isn’t just about learning tools; it’s about mastering visual workflows that will enhance your note-taking, thinking, storytelling, and personal knowledge management (PKM).
