Turn Note-Taking into a Tool for Thought

Standard productivity tools manage tasks, not ideas. They ignore a fundamental truth of intellectual work: We do not write because we have thought; we write in order to think.

Drawing on fifteen years of refinement, this book introduces the Slipbox System—a robust method to capture, connect, and develop knowledge. It transforms the simple act of taking notes into a powerful engine for intellectual growth.

Use this system to:

Transform Reading: Turn passive consumption into permanent, useful resources.

Think with Paper: Offload mental heavy lifting to the page to solve complex problems.

Dissolve Writer's Block: Treat writing as a daily dialogue with your own ideas, not a final performance.

Grow Incrementally: Build an "external brain" that evolves with you, day by day.

Turn your scattered notes into a system that thinks with you.
