What is this?This is an workshop about Journaling that was recorded in the Knowii Community. Check out the full list here.During this masterclass, we’ve dived deep into the practice of journaling, covering both theory and practice.🚀 Join Knowii as a Knowledge Builder or Knowledge Master and get this workshop PLUS all other recordings, future live events, exclusive community access, and SO much more!You know that feeling when someone asks “What did you do this week?” and you just... blank?I used to reach the end of months feeling like I’d been busy all the time but couldn’t point to anything meaningful I’d accomplished. Worse, beautiful moments with my family would slip away, forgotten in the rush of daily life.That changed when I started treating my journal not as a diary, but as my personal “operating system”.Here’s what I discovered (and what you’re probably losing right now)Every single day, you have moments of clarity, breakthrough ideas, and experiences that could fuel your growth for months. But your brain literally can’t hold onto most of it.Right now, you’re losing: Those “aha!” moments that hit you in the shower or during your commute Insights from conversations, podcasts, books or articles you read that could change how you approach your work Small wins that prove you’re making progress (even when it doesn’t feel like it) Beautiful moments with people you love Clarity about what actually matters vs. the noise Without a system to capture this stuff, it just... disappears. Forever.Why most journaling advice doesn’t work (and what I do instead)Most people think journaling means writing “Dear Diary” entries about their feelings. That’s not wrong, but it’s missing the real power.I use journaling as the foundation of how I organize my entire life. It’s where I: Capture ideas before they vanish Track progress on what matters Hold myself accountable to my goals Process experiences to learn from them Build a knowledge base that grows over time Find balance between work and leisure Remember what matters This isn’t theory. I’ve been refining this system for over a decade while managing multiple jobs, my company, writing books/articles/newsletters, building and growing communities, developing software, ... It works crazy well. It scales well. And it helps me strive while staying stay sane. It brings clarity, focus, peace and joy to my life.What you’ll learn in this deep diveWhy your brain works against you (and how to work with it instead)I’ll show you the science behind why we forget so much, and how simple journaling techniques can hack your memory and decision-making.The complete system I actually use Daily notes that take a few minutes here and there but change everything “Interstitial journaling” to capture insights without breaking flow Weekly, monthly, and yearly reviews that compound your growth and knowledge How to hold yourself accountable without feeling guilty Ways to preserve beautiful moments you’d otherwise lose ... Real tools and workflowsYou’ll see inside my actual system. I’ll show you exactly how I set up my daily notes, what I capture, questions I ask myself, which tools I’m using, and how everything connects.How it all fits togetherThis isn’t just about journaling in isolation. I’ll show you how it becomes the foundation for better productivity, clearer thinking, and a more intentional life.Who this is forThis will resonate if you: Feel busy all the time but struggle to see your progress Want to be more intentional about how you spend your time Have great ideas that you forget before you can act on them Wish you could remember and build on your experiences Are tired of feeling like life is just happening to you It doesn’t matter if you’ve never journaled before or if you’ve tried and given up. This approach is different.What’s includedWhen you get this workshop, you’ll have: 80-minute video recording where I walk through the complete system live The full system visualization I used during the presentation: a comprehensive diagram showing how everything connects (this alone took me days to create) Complete show notes with the session agenda and key takeaways Access to the knowledge base (hundreds of interconnected notes) from my personal knowledge system: every single concept, method, and technique I reference gets you a direct link to the full explanation, connected to many other ideas that you can dive into if you’re ready to go further (e.g., about Personal Knowledge Management) Real examples from my actual daily, weekly, and periodic notes (anonymized but authentic) You’re getting the keys to my entire knowledge base, the foundation of my own system.Why I’m sharing thisI genuinely believe that most people are living below their potential. Not because they lack talent or drive, but because they lack systems to capture and build on their experiences.I’ve been fortunate to think about sustainable and scalable systems for many years. First for designing a life I love. Second, through my work as a system engineer, software developer and solution architect. But also as an entrepreneur, applying my approach to diverse challenges such as creating/growing my own company, building startups, writing books, articles, newsletters, knowledge systems, ... None of that happened by accident. It happened because I developed systems to stay clear on what matters, track my progress, and learn at every step.Journaling is the foundation of all of it.If you’re ready to stop living in reactive mode and start building something intentional, this workshop will show you exactly how to begin.Here’s a Visual overview of the presented system:While exploring this complete system, I have discussed: The journaling practice The problems it addresses & its benefits The approach I recommend What it looks like in practice How this approach relates/integrates with... Knowledge Management Knowledge Work Learning Personal Organization Productivity ... How to get started How to develop your own practice Tools you can use ...

What is this?Transform any AI into your personal ghostwriter that writes with your exact voice, style, and expertise using this proven step-by-step system.🚀 Join Knowii as a Knowledge Master and get this along with SO much more!Who This Is For✅ Perfect if you: Create content regularly (articles, essays, newsletters, social media posts, etc) Want to scale your content using AI without losing your unique voice Spend too much time editing AI slop-generated content Have products or services to promote through content Want to build a sustainable content creation system ❌ Not right if you: Never create content or have no interest in writing Prefer to write everything manually without AI assistance Don’t have existing writing samples to analyze Are looking for a “magic button” solution without any setup Stop Using AI Like a Dummy. Start Training ItYou’ve tried them all: ChatGPT. Claude. Gemini. But every time, you feel the same frustration: “This doesn’t sound like me at all.“The AI gives you generic text, content that could apply to anyone. You spend more time editing than you would writing from scratch. I’ve been there as well, but that was a long time ago!Here’s the problem: You’re using AI like everyone else—throwing random prompts at it and hoping for magic to happen. But that’s not the way it works!The solution? You have to TEACH AI to write like YOU.What If AI Could Capture Your Exact Voice?Imagine opening your AI assistant and getting content that: ✅ Sounds like YOU ✅ Uses your signature sentences and personality quirks ✅ Understands you and your unique perspective ✅ Knows your content strategy and helps you create highly relevant content for your target audiences ✅ Knows your business, your brand, your products and services, your audience, etc ✅ Creates content across all your formats (articles, essays, newsletters, social media posts, scripts, ...) ✅ Evolves over time Sounds too good to be true? Well this isn’t fantasy. It’s exactly what I’ve built for myself. And now, I’m showing you how to do the same.The System You NeedAt this point, my AI Ghostwriter has helped me write hundreds of pieces of content: notes, articles, newsletters, podcasts, course scripts, emails, letters, etc.I’ve spent months perfecting this system and approach. I’m relying on it daily, and thus I know from experience that it works flawlessly. The cool part is that I’ve documented it all along the way, and thus I can teach you how to create the same for yourself.This isn’t about better prompts (though you’ll get those too). This is about creating an AI Ghostwriter that understands you and your needs.Why This WorksMost people make these mistakes: ❌ Using generic prompts hoping to get unique content ❌ Starting over with new prompts for every piece of content ❌ Settling for “good enough” content that needs heavy editing ❌ Abandoning AI because “it doesn’t work” My system fixes all of this by: ✅ Creating a comprehensive description of your personality, writing style, rules, content strategy, content types, and more! ✅ Training AI to adapt to your style, not the other way around ✅ Building a system that delivers high quality results and improves over time ✅ Establishing consistency across all content types What’s IncludedYou’ll get the complete step-by-step guide you can follow to create your own AI Ghostwriter, including: Clear explanations Many AI prompts you can use to help you create the documents you need Document templates Advanced techniques for power users 💡 Bonus Resources Private community access for questions, updates and knowledge sharing Real examples taken from my own implementation Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Do I need deep technical skills to implement this? A: No. There are advanced options for power users, but the core system works with simple copy-paste/upload on any AI platform.Q: Which AI platforms does this work with? A: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, NotebookLM, ... Basically, any AI that accepts custom instructions and/or file uploads.Q: How long does it take to set up? A: Basic setup takes 2-3 hours. Advanced implementation with Model Context Protocol (MCP) can take a weekend, but the time savings compound quickly.Q: Will this work for my niche/industry? A: Yes. The system analyzes YOUR writing samples, so it works regardless of your topic, industry, or content type.Q: What if I don’t have enough writing samples? A: Start with what you have. You can still add more later. It’s not a showstopper.Stop settling for generic AI responses. Start creating content that sounds like YOU.

Dev Concepts e-book collection. Your guide to the fundamentals of software development

Who is this for?You are just getting started with IT and software developmentYou want to discover key concepts and expand your knowledgeYou want to understand different subdomains of IT like Architecture, Design, Coding, Front-end/Back-end development, Security, Infrastructure, Project, and Product ManagementYou want to progress and become a senior developer or a technical leaderYou want to learn fast from trusted sources, and avoid wasting time with low quality contentIT and software development are vast and complex topics. You could spend your entire life learning, and not yet know all that much. They’re also ever-evolving and ever-changing. You are busy, and you don’t want to miss out on key concepts. Given how many low-quality resources are out there, you want to avoid wasting time figuring out who you can trust with your time.What is this?I’ve been passionate about computers, IT and software development since I was 7-8 years old (30+ years ago!!). I’ve spent countless hours learning about new things. I’m a proud software crafter, coach/mentor, open-source contributor, freelancer, CTO and founder. I’ve been working for more than 15 years in the industry, and have explored many areas of IT. I’ve been a technical leader for both back-end and front-end, and developed software frameworks for large financial institutions. I’ve worked as a solution architect, led large projects and teams, managed critical IT infrastructure, went deep down into IT security, and founded my own company. These experiences gave me a unique perspective on the field.Daily, I help junior developers who often find themselves overwhelmed with an endless number of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools. In 2021, I started working on the Dev Concepts collection, a series of 12 books to help even more developers avoid feeling overwhelmed, and show what to focus on for maximum progress and impact. That project is huge, and I realize it will take me a few more years to deliver all those books. Meanwhile, I have curated a huge collection of resources about the topics I want to cover in the books.The IT Concepts Wall is a Trello board that I keep expanding, week after week, with resources about IT that I think are useful and valuable to learn about. The content that I curate comes from trusted sources. They cover the whole spectrum, from juniors to experts. There is a lot to learn in there for everyone.What’s included?If you buy access to the IT Concepts Wall, you’ll get access to the Trello board I continue to build for the Dev Concepts collection. You can use these resources to take a shortcut and learn key concepts you need to know about.The IT Concepts Wall contains thousands of resources. You can explore those at your own pace to learn everything about IT and Software Development.I update the wall each week with new links and ideas. And I will continue to do so in the coming years.
