🚀 Cohort 5 starts on August 19. 📔 We will be summarizing Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse into a book-on-a-page

In this video, I provide a summary of Sönke Ahren's book, How to Take Smart Notes.

A high-resolution PNG version, plus the standalone excalidraw file, and the Obsidian-Excalidraw .md version of this BoaP are available here: https://ko-fi.com/s/fe15f3e8f7
