The average human life is 4,000 weeks.
How many of yours have already slipped by?
What if nothing worth remembering got lost?
Think about the last month. The wins, the lessons, the moments that mattered. How much of that can you actually access right now? Most people lose 90% of their lived experience within weeks. Your daily journal captures it all: timestamped logs, morning reflections, evening reviews. Weekly and monthly rollups show you patterns you'd never notice otherwise. Without a system, you keep making the same mistakes. With one, every day builds on the last.
What if you never drop a ball at work again?
Every meeting you attend, every work connection you made, every task you commit to: captured, organized, and surfaced exactly when you need it. Your meeting notes process themselves. Your tasks sort into a board that knows what's overdue, what needs discussion, and what's waiting on someone else. No more scrambling before a 1:1 or forgetting what you promised last Tuesday.
What if your curiosity actually led somewhere?
You bookmark articles. You save YouTube videos. You tell yourself you'll get to it later. But later never comes. What if every article, video, and podcast got automatically processed into structured notes with key summaries, and tagged references? A living library where what you consume turns into something you can actually use: connected ideas, researchable knowledge, and outputs that build on everything you've learned.
This is not just a Second Brain.
This is a Second Brain that talks back to you.
You've probably tried Notion, Roam, Evernote, or even Obsidian before. It didn't stick. Not because you lacked discipline. Because the system couldn't keep up with your life. Two things changed everything:
Obsidian is where you think
Your Obsidian Vault extends what you're capable of thinking. Your links surface connections your brain forgot it made. Your structure holds context across weeks and months that your memory never could.
- Your mind doesn't stop at your skull - this is extended cognition
- Links surface connections your brain forgot it made
- Structure holds context across weeks and months
- If your vault got deleted, you'd lose a part of how you think
Claude Code keeps it running
Claude Code handles the grunt work so you never have to. It processes your meeting notes, logs your day, files your sources, manages your tasks, and maintains the structure so you never have to stop thinking to do maintenance.
- Processes meeting transcripts into structured notes in seconds
- Logs your day, files your sources, manages your tasks
- Builds custom AI skills that work exactly how you need
- Maintains the system so you never stop thinking to do admin
The thinking happens in the doing. When you decide what to capture, how to structure a note, what connects to what - that's you building your operating system. Let AI run wild without understanding what it's doing, and the tool stops being an extension of your mind. 📖 Read the full article to learn more
That's why this cohort exists. We teach you how to use both, so the structure reflects how you think and the AI amplifies it without replacing it. You stay in the loop. The system stays yours.
"Claude Code removed all the friction that killed every one of my previous attempts of building a Second Brain. The capturing and retrieval just became a non-event."
Watch Gene and Dee talk about the system Gene built, from daily logging to AI-powered note processing and automations.
Gene is a mid-career professional at a tech company in San Francisco. He'd been through the full PKM cycle: David Allen, Tiago Forte, Notion, Todoist, Capacities. Nothing stuck. Then he combined Obsidian with Claude Code. In 3 weeks, working evenings and weekends, he built:
Life Area Hierarchy
Covers Health, Career, Social, Wealth, Leisure, and Personal Development.
Daily Operating System
Logs his entire day with timestamps, photos, and reflections.
Meeting Processing
Turns transcripts into structured notes, action items, and follow-ups in seconds.
Task Management
Sorts work into Today, Overdue, Discuss, Follow Up, and Inbox.
Source Pipeline
Captures YouTube videos, articles, and podcasts into connected knowledge notes.
Life Reviews
Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly reviews with heatmaps and life charts.
Travel & Events
Travel journals, event logs, recipe collections, and location databases.
8 Custom AI Skills
Handle the repetitive work so the system practically maintains itself.
4 Sessions. Your System. Built With You.
This is a live, hands-on build over 4 weeks. Not a course where you watch videos and hope for the best.
By the end, you'll have a working personal operating system customized to your life.
Get Set Up
Before Session 1, follow a self-paced setup course to get Claude Code set up in your Obsidian, so you arrive to the workshop ready to build from minute one. You arrive ready to go.
The Foundations
Set up Obsidian with a structure designed around your seven life areas. Learn the foundations of how Claude Code works with your vault and use it to set up your first daily note, understand day logging, and see the templating system that makes everything consistent.
You walk away with: A vault with Claude Code connected and ready to capture your life, with structure, templates, and your first daily note.
The Automations
Go deeper with Claude Code: process meeting notes, log activities, file media source notes, and manage tasks automatically. Learn how to build custom skills so your AI assistant works exactly how you need it to. By the end of this session, the admin work that used to take hours will happen in seconds.
You walk away with: Custom AI skills running, meeting processing automated, source pipeline built, and the friction that killed every previous system gone.
Your System
Fully customize your vault and Claude Code setup to your specific use cases. Build the workflows that matter to your life, then present your system to the cohort. Learn from how others built theirs, not just from us, but from people with the same challenges as you.
You walk away with: A fully personalized system you built yourself, peer-tested ideas from your cohort, and the knowledge to keep evolving it.
Q&A and Troubleshooting
Drop in one week after the final build session to ask questions, troubleshoot, and share what you've built with the group. Get real-time feedback from both of us and your cohort peers.
You walk away with: Answers to your toughest questions, refined workflows, and the confidence to keep evolving your system on your own.

Built for People Who Think for a Living
This cohort is for knowledge workers, creators, and lifelong learners who are tired of letting information, ideas, and memories slip through the cracks.
You don't need to be technical. You need a system that actually keeps up with your life.
This is for you if:
- You've tried multiple PKM systems and none stuck
- You feel overwhelmed by information coming at you daily
- You want to capture your days but journaling always falls off
- You're curious about AI but haven't found a personal use case
- You want a system that grows with you instead of fighting you
This is not for you if:
- You're looking for a quick fix or a magic template
- You don't want to invest time building something meaningful
- You're happy with how you currently organize your life
Built by practitioners, not theorists.
Learn from people who've actually built this and lived with it every day.
Dee
PKM Systems Builder · Construct by Dee4+ years building personal knowledge systems and helping others build theirs through his YouTube channel and private coaching. One of the first practitioners to integrate AI into the PKM workflow. He brings the methodology, the teaching structure, and years of insight into what actually works when real life gets busy.
Gene
Knowledge Worker · Tech Industry ProfessionalSpent years in the PKM cycle, buying courses, trying apps, building systems that collapsed under their own maintenance. When he combined Obsidian with Claude Code, everything changed. In 3 weeks, he built automations that replaced multiple apps and saved hours every week. He brings the perspective of someone who was exactly where you are.
What people are saying
"I was hesitant about adding yet another tool when I was already overwhelmed. What changed everything was realising this system actually simplified my life rather than complicated it. It's become the one place where everything clicks into place."
"At the beginning, Obsidian is just a tool and you need someone to show you how to actually think it through. Having Dee explain the fundamentals with practical examples tailored to my own needs made all the difference. It's supposed to save you time and it does."
"This course has been an absolute game changer. Turning Obsidian into an intelligent personal assistant with Claude Code is something I didn't think was possible. I've automated tasks I used to dread and my whole workflow feels different now."
The Gap Between the Best Version of Yourself and You Is a System.
You already know what a good life looks like. You know what habits you want, what goals matter, what information is worth keeping. The gap isn't motivation. It's infrastructure. This is the infrastructure.
First cohort launching in April 2026.
