100 Days of Note-Taking: Do you want to join us?
|
Hello [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], Would you like a FREE Walking Tour? π This is a practice I have loved since my student days when I travelled on a low budget. Whenever I arrived in a new city, I would look for a FREE Walking Tour. The idea is simple: you get a tour as good, if not better, than those paid ones out there. At the end, you decide to pay how much it is worth based on the value you received and your ability to pay. This business model really resonates with me, so I want to bring it into the digital world. β Introducing FREE Walkthroughs π If you are eager to learn something new, join me on a journey, and at the end, you can decide how much it is worth to you (even if it means zero). So here is the first programme I am launching: β 100 Days of Note-TakingTaking notes consistently is hard. Taking valuable notes consistently is even harder. So, why not get some support to build the habit? The year is quickly coming to an end. Starting on September 23rd, there will be exactly 100 days left. Instead of postponing your journey, letβs use this opportunity to build a new habit before the year is over. Join the 100 Days of Note-Taking, where we will explore different note-taking methods. I want it to be more than βjust writingβ β each day, for 15 minutes, we will take one meaningful step forward in your learning and research journey. Also, I miss gathering the note-taking community π Here is the plan: β From September 23rd to December 31st: Every day, you will receive a daily prompt (Guided Tour) or a theme (Self-Guided Tour) to exercise your Active Note-Taking skill. Themes (and prompts) will be related to self-awareness, self-expression, building expertise, research, and growing your knowledge portfolio. β How it works:

You will be in good company π People I know from X, LinkedIn, YouTube, WhatsApp, and personal friends (even my husband was invited!) will be joining. You wonβt be alone β but why not invite your own friends and family to join as well? Just ask them to subscribe below. β
(Just write 0 in the price box) β If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. Talk to you soon. Until then, take care. Bianca P.S.: The most voted topic in last week's issue was "Research Roadmap for non-academics" so I guess that's our next FREE Walkthrough π β β |
