What Type of 'Chaos' Is Yours?
90% of people get stuck at one of the first three, and each has a solution
Screenshot Hoarder
Saved 3,000 screenshots but can't find any. 'I remember seeing this' but can never search it up.
Isolated Notes
Written tons of notes, but there's no connection between them. Every card is an isolated island.
Output Constipation
After reading articles, you don't know what you learned. When you try to write, your mind goes blank.
Scattered Nomadism
Files are scattered across your phone, computer, and cloud storage. You never know where they are.
Three Days of Neglect
Organize for one day, then abandon it for three days. You bought 7 note-taking apps, and they're all empty.
Tool Hell
Notion, Obsidian, Heptabase... Two months and you're still choosing tools without starting to organize.
"I started from a complete mess too.
3,000 screenshots, 7 note-taking apps bought,
Didn't finish a single extra-curricular book before turning 30.
But I found the way."

What Our Students Say
Hear how people with the same struggles turned things around.
For the first time, having a system helped me stick with it. I had tried 5 note-taking apps before and given up on all of them, but Xiaochang's method made me actually use it for 3 months and I'm still using it.

Turns out I'm not bad at learning—I just never had anyone teach me how to organize. After taking the course, my Heptabase already has 200+ cards, and I can finally write my own articles.
Student B

What's amazing about Xiaochang is how she simplifies complex things. The S.H.A.P.E. framework finally helped me understand why things go there, not just how to use the tools.
