Howdy! You're receiving this email because you've previously taken my [free 4-day beginner course on using Obsidian](https://free.johnmavrick.com/obsidian-templates)🧠 I've filled the lessons and templates with a lot of resources and actionable advice, but in reality, I feel like it's still only satisfied a fraction of my vision for what a second brain can achieve. **The truth is, I want to create a life operating system that does so much more.** I want to share in-depth tutorials and workflows for all the other apps I use with Obsidian like Todoist, Toggl Track, Readwise Reader, and more to help people build robust yet easy to use productivity systems. I want to share a fully fleshed out philosophy for productivity and life optimization that helps you sustaintabily work towards meaningful goals based on your values and ideal self. And so, after obsessively consuming content from thought leaders and experimenting with my own workflows, I'll be sharing my learnings in my new weekly newsletter… Digital Self-Actualization ✨ **Learn how to leverage productivity systems, digital tools, and high-performance philosophies to cultivate a meaningful life that explores your full potential 🌌** If you're curious to learn more about the above, you don't have to do anything! You'll shortly be receiving (hopefully) weekly emails. If you're not interested, you can unsubscribe now at the bottom of the email, but I think you should at least wait for the first email ;) It's going to be a subtle but huge perspective shift in the way you see productivity. I'm super excited to explore this topic more, and am open to hear any suggestions or ongoing problems you may be having that you would like answered from these emails 😊 **P.S.** Fellow YouTuber Aidan Helfant and I are doing a raffle for one student to get [Obsidian University: Your Secret Weapon At School](https://shop.johnmavrick.com/obsidian-university) for free 🤩 Obsidian University is a premade student vault with a tag-along video course.
