Gut Talk Newsletter tackles these challenges every issue — using real knowledge management examples to help you not just understand, but actually do it.
Hello,
I'm Xiaochang, someone who has used Heptabase for 3 years and organized 1000+ knowledge cards.
Years ago, I was the worst "screenshot hoarder"—I read plenty of books and collected thousands of articles, but when I actually needed to use them, I couldn't remember anything.
Later, I realized the problem wasn't my memory, but that my "knowledge management approach was wrong."
This newsletter is where I take the detours I've made and organize them into a letter every week, sent to you.
Every Thursday, see you then.
