Hi, I’m Nick Milo.
I’ve spent the last 17+ years using digital notes to create and grow a fitness boxing into an international company, produce two independent feature films, become a TV and film editor, and—perhaps most importantly—to calm my thoughts and make better sense of the world around me.
I’ve tested and stretched the limits of linked notes in the “real world” from:
- the fitness industry 🏃 to the film industry 🎬
- the football field 🏈 to civil engineering 🏗
- strength training 🏋️ to the boxing ring 🥊
- public speaking 🎤 to content creation 🎨
What I’ve learned is this: Being effective at managing knowledge is a superpower—and linking your thinking supercharges it.
The frameworks I teach can unlock your ability to work with ideas in a way that is fast, flexible, and future-proof. I’ve taught thousands of people with great results. That’s because these principles are flexible enough for you to shape to your personal needs—no matter what you want to do.

“Before the LYT workshop, I had already participated in a BASB Cohort where I was able to build a great system already. But I got stuck, and overwhelmed about how well I built it! I was paralysed and couldn’t move it forward..
During the LYT workshop I was able to overcome this feeling/sensation through the thoughtful questions and supportive community.
Now I have a daily practice of coming into my PKM system, take notes of the day and whatever sparks my interest, no pressure, simply show up!”

but I can’t do anything with it!”
Is this you?
If you’re trying to work with ideas but you feel stuck—or something feels “off”—it may be because you’ve been taught to focus on the wrong things.
So what are the right things?
Collecting a new idea does not equal KNOWING a new idea, or being able to effectively work with it—or even explain it to others. If you take anything away from these words, remember this:
We don’t need more knowledge every second. Instead, we need to get better at developing the knowledge we already have.
You can’t get to yours, if you’re always just highlighting theirs! The trouble with chronic note-takers is that they never get the part where they’re doing their best thinking.
Where do you think your unique perspective comes out? From bolding and highlighting the words of other people, or from writing your own thoughts and making the insights yourself? We need you to be your best self.
We need you to share your unique perspective with the rest of us.
If you want to get things done, learn GTD. If you want to build a rich universe of ideas that you develop throughout your life, learn LYT.
If you want a course on project management, take one of the million courses on that. But if you want to improve how you actually work with ideas (not just sort them into folders), then learn LYT.
Hey, I get it. We have to get things done. But look around. You’ll find everyone kneeling at the alter of “tasks”, “projects”, “tracking”, and “getting things done”.
Somehow, we gave up the inherent joy of thinking, as its own reward. We stripped away the soul of inquiry and replaced it with soulless efficiency. Can you even remember a time when you felt calm and joy jumping into your notes? Because…
Ironically, it’s when you stop exploiting and start exploring, that you generate some of your best ideas and insights!
You may not know this, but you have a choice. You don’t have to serve your task manager. Take the power back. Choose to be led by the carrot of curiosity over stick of a task list.
Put down the highlighter and slowly step away! Once you do, something amazing happens. You open a space to think—to connect—and to generate your own insights.
Multi-step highlighting techniques encourage the habit of “collecting without processing”. In practice, this means you’ll save many articles, and process few. This creates a PKM system where 99% of the stuff in there are someone else’s thoughts, not yours.
It disconnects you from your own thinking and creates a sterile thinking environment devoid of joy.
This is the “Fall of the Note-Taker”: Too much note-taking kneecaps your best thinking and harms the long-term health of your PKM system.
The future will favor the Note-Maker. Note-making is where you are creating the most personal meaning and value.
If you are merely clipping articles and filing resources, folders are fine. But in truth, that’s less “Knowledge” Management and more “Information Resource” Management.
And maybe that’s what you want.
But if you care about knowledge, ideas, and making leaps of insights; then you simply must learn how to link ideas in a powerful and future-proof way.
Once you start linking ideas together, you cross the threshold, and there’s no going back. Your neurons are firing like they should and you are spending more time doing your best thinking. It feels good, doesn’t it?
Looking back, you laugh at how silly it was to try to do PKM without linking. Oh, Life!
Powerful thinking systems have an uncanny knack for creating serendipity. Now, in Obsidian, there is a new way to catalyze your ability to make insights: Bases. If you can use Bases well, it will enrich your entire writing and thinking experience. Everyone who joins this specific LYT Workshop will get access to our Bases Masterclass.
- Downloadable LYT Bases Pack (13 bases, 40 views)
- Custom saved workspaces for “dynamic links”
- Live exercises to set up your custom Bases
