### Inspirations
This was built upon influential PKM, productivity, and life design resources like:
- [[Building a Second Brain]] by [[Tiago Forte]]
- [[Second Brain]]
- [[CODE Method]]
- [[PARA Method]]
- [[High performance Habits]] by [[Brendon Burchard]]
- The journals and metrics I track in [[My daily note workflow]] and [[Weekly Reviews]]
- [[How To Take Smart Notes]] by Sönke Ahrens
- [[Zettelkasten]]
- [[Conceptual notes]]
- [[My Inputs/My Books/Getting Things Done|Getting Things Done]] by [[David Allen]]
- [[Getting Things Done Task Process]]
- [[Tasks]]
- [[My Inputs/My Books/Slow Productivity|Slow Productivity]] by [[Cal Newport]]
- [[Periodic reviews]] to promote [[Attention-centred productivity]]
- [[Linking Your Thinking]] by [[My Prominent People/Nick Milo|Nick Milo]]
- [[Maps of Content (MOC)]]
- [[Note-making]]
- [[Pipelines Pillars Vaults]] by [[August Bradley]]
- [[My Alignment Philosophy]]
I decided to create my own highly opinionated system to integrate the different benefits and use-cases into one, [[My Digital Galaxy]] 🌌
## Questions
### Why is this a paid product
I resonate with the idea of [[Give the solution, sell the implementation]].
This system could not have been possible without the ideas from the books I took inspiration from, so I don't think it's fair to paywall information.
I want to contribute to this [[Collective learning pursuit]] by also making things as accessible as possible to promote [[Learning in public]], which is why I've shared my notes in [[USV Documentation]].
And so, I'm charging for my personal implementation of these principles in a ready-to-use package to help people set up the same systems in a fraction of the time. This comes with additional support and setup guidelines to personalize it to your needs, which would not be possible to give to everyone if I were to offer it for free.
Your support helps me continue focusing on [[Why I create]] :)
