Build a second brain you actually use.
Run by an AI engineer who built her own system on paper and Obsidian, not a productivity guru reselling tips.
The Challenge
- Notes scattered across five apps, none of them trusted.
- Every idea dumped into a chatbot, nothing kept, nothing connected.
- A reading list you never revisit and highlights you never reuse.
- The quiet sense that AI is making you faster and shallower at the same time.
- You collect constantly. You almost never create.
The Solution
Think by hand. Synthesize with AI. Keep what matters.
Most "AI productivity" advice tells you to pour everything into a model and trust the output. That is how you end up with a faster treadmill. The opposite works better: do your real thinking slowly and deliberately, often on paper, then use AI to connect, summarize, and resurface it inside a system you own. Deliberate input, intelligent retrieval, work that compounds instead of evaporates.
What it is
Four weeks. Four sessions. We build it together.
This is not a course you watch alone. It is a 1:1 engagement where we stand up your actual system, with your tools, your work, and your habits, and coach it until it sticks. You finish with something you use, not a folder of notes about productivity.
01 Audit & capture
Map where your thinking currently leaks. Design a capture flow that fits how you actually work, analog and digital.
02 Build your knowledge vault
Set up your knowledge base, we will use Obsidian, with a structure you will not abandon in a month.
03 Add AI layer
Wire in AI for summarizing, tagging, and resurfacing, deliberately, so it serves your thinking instead of replacing it.
04 Make it a habit
Weekly review, daily capture, and the small rituals that turn a system into a practice.
Honesty check
This is not for everyone.
It's for you if
- You work in or around tech and live in information all day.
- You have tried the apps and the hype and still feel scattered.
- You want a system you own, not another subscription.
- You are willing to do the thinking, not just outsource it.
It's not for you if
- You want AI to do your thinking so you don't have to.
- You're after a quick hack, not a practice.
- You won't put in 2–3 hours a week between sessions.
- You want enterprise tooling rolled out across a team.
Who runs it?
An AI engineer who works on paper. Hi! I'm Regina. I've spent my career in AI and cloud, at AWS and now Microsoft, building technical systems for a living. I also keep a fountain pen and a paper notebook within reach at all times, and I built my own second brain by hand long before "second brain" was a hashtag.
Join the founding cohort for:
The Second Brain Sprint
€1,495 €795
Founding price for the first 5 clients, in exchange for a testimonial and a short case study.
- Four 1:1 sessions over four weeks (video)
- A fully built, working knowledge system you own
- Your personal capture-to-AI workflow, documented
- Templates, prompts, and review rituals to keep it alive
- Async support between sessions for the four weeks
5 founding spots. When they're gone, the price moves to full.
No pitch. We see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll point you somewhere better.
What you leave with
By the end of the sprint, you have:
- A capture workload for paper, phone, browser and AI chats
- A working Obsidian vault or equivalent Personal Knowledge Management System (PKM)
- A reusable note template
- A weekly review ritual
- A prompt set for summarizing and resurfacing notes
- A written operating manual for your system
Questions
What tools do I need?
Most clients land on Obsidian, but we choose based on how you work. If you already use Notion, Apple Notes, or a reMarkable, we build around it rather than forcing a switch.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The AI layer can be as simple as a few good prompts or as deep as a local setup. We match it to your comfort level, not mine.
How much time do I invest in between sessions?
Plan for two to three hours a week. The work is building the habit, and that only happens by doing it on your own material.
Is this just for note-taking?
No. It's a thinking and output system. The goal is that you produce more of your own work, writing, decisions, ideas, with less noise.
What happens after the four weeks?
You have a system you run yourself. Founding clients also get first access to the community and group programs as they launch.
