Knowii community: get your bearings

Knowii is where everything else I make connects: people, events, recordings, the knowledge base. Learn the map before you open a single course.

What it is

Knowii is the hub. Courses, kits, workshops and tools are the spokes. If you only ever watch the videos and never show up in the community, you get maybe half of the value. The other half is asking a question when you’re stuck and getting an answer from me or from someone who was stuck at the same place three months ago.

Where to find it

Log in at knowii.net (Circle). Knowii members get their invites from me personally, within 24 to 48 hours of subscribing. Nothing yet? Write to sebastien@developassion.be.

The map, so you don’t wander:

Public (every tier and visitors): Announcements, Start Here, Introduce Yourself, Inspiration, Wins & Celebrations, Public Events, Featured Resources, Books, the Affiliate Program space, and the topic discussions (Knowledge Management, Theory, Journaling, Obsidian, Tools, Knowledge Work, AI, Content Creation, Zen Productivity).
Knowledge Builders: their own discussions, Systems & Workflows, Challenges, Ask the Community, and the Events and Office Hours archive with every workshop recording.
Knowledge Masters: their own discussions plus Masterminds (AMAs, group coaching).
Product spaces: Obsidian Starter Kit with OSK Discussions, Knowledge Worker Kit with KWK Discussions, Voice AI with Voice AI Discussions, and the Courses area with Courses Support & Discussions. The discussions spaces are where support happens.
Links in the sidebar: the Knowledge Base, Concepts, the PKM Wiki, the tools site, and the mobile apps.

Do this first

Fill in your profile. One sentence about what you do, one about what you want to fix. That’s enough.
Post in the introductions space. Say what brought you here and what your notes look like today (scattered apps? paper? nothing?). This is the single best predictor of whether you’ll still be here in six months. People who introduce themselves stay.
Bookmark the events calendar. Live sessions are where I answer questions in depth.

Then

Read the Start Here space. Short, and it explains how I want the place to work.
Browse the events archive for your tier (see the events module). Recordings of every masterclass are there for Knowledge Builders and Masters.
Open concepts.dsebastien.net and notes.dsebastien.net. Thousands of linked notes, the whole OSK user guide and all the theory, free. Don’t try to read them. Use them like a dictionary when a course mentions something you don’t know.
Look at the current monthly challenge. Joining one gives you a deadline, and deadlines are how things get done.

Check in, don’t wait for notifications

Two honest caveats about Circle. Notifications don’t reliably go out, and the weekly roundup email it sends is thin compared to what happens inside. If you rely on either, you’ll miss most of it. Open the community once or twice a week on purpose. Start with Announcements: that’s where I post what’s new (releases, events, changes to your products). Then the feed.

Worth knowing: I share the work I do in there very regularly. What I’m building, what I changed in my own system, drafts, experiments, the things that never make it to the newsletter. The community sees it first, and often only.

Skip it if

You can’t skip it. Even if you bought a standalone product, the community is where updates get announced and where you’ll find the people using the same system as you.

What it leads to

The rest of your path. Come back here every time you finish a module and post what changed for you. Writing it down is half the learning.
