Independent researcher and coach. Author of “Experiment and Exploration” and “How to Take Smart Notes”.
I am currently phasing out my coaching on Zettelkasten to focus on my next book. At the same time, I am developing an online course to make the key lessons more readily available (in English and with optional Chinese subtitles and support).
In less busy times, I offer one-on-one coaching/counselling sessions, helping clients overcome struggles in their everyday lives and supporting them on their personal development journey. I am a trained systems therapist who works with clients from vastly different backgrounds in person and on Zoom. Until recently, I volunteered in this capacity at the career centre of my alma mater, the University of Hamburg.

How to Take Smart Notes
The key to good writing and thinking lies in the intelligent organization of ideas and notes. This book helps students, academics, and other knowledge workers write insightful texts and continue learning for the long run. Since its first publication, this book has sold more than 100,000 copies and has been translated into eight languages.
