Do You Answer Yes To Any Of These Questions?

  • Do you want to get good grades in less time so you can focus on ACTUALLY enjoying college life and making memories?
  • Do you want to learn the best mindsets, methods, and tools for leveling up your notetaking and studying?
  • Do you feel there is an overwhelming amount of information, and you don't know how to organize it all?

    John Mavrick and Aidan Helfant, creators of Obsidian University, experienced all these issues until they discovered their secret weapon at school: Obsidian.

Obsidian Will Revolutionize Your Notetaking -
It Changed Ours

We used to take notes in the same way as every other classmate, which made us Cookie Cutter Students.

As a result, we didn’t like school learning. There was no personality, no spunk, no pizzazz in our learning! In school, we were forced to do endless assignments, tests, essays, quizzes, and homework. We tried using Google Drive, Evernote, Notion. None of these apps helped us take notes and study in a way that helped us break from the Cookie Cutter Mindset.

Instead of learning for the sake of learning in itself, we learned to get the best grade on the test.

Because learning was so boring, we distracted ourselves through dopamine-filled activities like video games to escape from school life.

‍The real world tasted like plain broccoli, while games were serving us a delicious pizza.

That was until...

We found Obsidian.

‍Obsidian empowered us to craft a unique personal knowledge base that scales across semesters.

‍Unlike most other notetaking systems, Obsidian acted as a personalized Wikipedia. We could link notes to other notes.

For the first time, we could connect learnings from separate classes together and across semesters.

‍Suddenly, we could add our unique perspective to our notes.

‍Nothing was stopping us from connecting notes from psychology to those on biology. Notes from Computer Science to those on productivity.

Combine that with a thriving community, incredible customization, and local file storage, and Obsidian became our go to notetaking tool.

And so, binge-playing video games stopped being an issue.

Obsidian made our school and self-learning the most fun game imaginable.

Now, we both have 1000+ hours invested in learning how to take more effective notes and study. We want to help you learn in a fraction of the time it took us.

Are you ready to take the leap?

Ehh, I Don’t Feel This Course Is For Me

So you might be thinking, I like some of the aspects of the course, but I don’t feel it resonates with my specific needs.

You might fill into one of these categories:

  • You are an intermediate to advanced Obsidian user
  • You are in the STEM field
  • You are in high school
  • You are in graduate school
  • You don't have the financial means to do the course

If you are in any of these positions, then some of the aspects of the course and vault won’t apply to you. You might even want to consider exploring if there is another Obsidian course that hits on your specific problem.

‍But you can still get immense value from taking the course.

If you’re in STEM, you will be less likely to link notes between classes. But linking notes from semester to semester will still be important. Classes often build on each other. You’ll learn how in the course. You’ll learn also learn to use the PAS method of notetaking. And the BIG mistake most STEM students make while lecturing notetaking.

If you’re in high school, first off, WOW! What I would do to have started thinking about my notetaking back in high school. You might find some areas of the course difficult. But thinking about taking better notes while in high school will set you up for college.

If you’re in graduate school, the course will give value to help in research and writing for your thesis.
