ABOUT ME
Maybe you're like I used to be...
You save lots of things but can't find them, learn lots but can't write about it, buy tons of tools then abandon them.
If you're experiencing these, this story is written for you.

Are you struggling with these too?
I save so much but can never find what I need
3,000 screenshots on my phone, PDFs piled on my desktop, 500 saved articles—all lost to the void.I know a lot, but I can't write about it
I feel inspired after reading, but my mind goes blank when I try to share. I end up copying others' words instead of having my own perspective.I've bought 7 note-taking apps and abandoned all of them
Notion, Obsidian, Evernote... each time I think 'I'll definitely stick with this one,' but 3 months later it's abandoned again.
Let me tell you how I got through it
CHAPTER 01
That Useless Version of Myself
Recommended 460x260px
At 18, I made the decision to drop out of university. For nearly two years after that, I did almost one thing—playing League of Legends. My weight hit an all-time high, and my family saidYou're fat, ugly, and stupid, you won't amount to anything。
During that time, I didn't even finish a single book. Knowledge management? Back then, the word 'management' had nothing to do with me.
CHAPTER 02
Meeting a Mentor—But It Was a Trap
Later, I started a business and met a highly respected mentor. To learn from him, I gave up my own brand and entered an 18-month 'intensive training program.'
His management style was—kneeling for one and a half hours, writing letters of repentance, complete isolation from friends. I didn't leave home for a year and a half, gained 15kg rapidly, and lost my hair.
I looked at the photo of my swollen red knees after kneeling, and suddenly I saw clearly—this isn't education, this is control.
TURNING POINT
💡 The Question That Changed Everything
'If I can be transformed by one mentor, why can't I learn from many teachers in the vast ocean of books?'
This question changed my life. I decided to stop learning to 'become important,' but insteadfor myself, for curiosityto learn.
CHAPTER 03
Finding Answers in the Sea of Books
Recommended 460x260px
I fell in love with 'the art of organizing,' transferring my ability to organize physical spaces to digital knowledge. I started with Notion, rewatching paid courses over 30 times. Until I discovered Heptabase—
It turned out I wasn't bad at Learning—I just never had anyone teach me how to organize and absorb knowledge. The moment I used Heptabase, my thinking was finally captured.
Now I organize over 1,000 knowledge cards with Heptabase. All that knowledge that once gave me headaches is now crystal clear on the whiteboard.
