Yes. I quite enjoyed it as it was much more practical than the book (making it a great complement), particularly if you use Obsidian. Worth the cost.
Thanks!
Would it be heresy to say it looks interesting? Partly because he uses Obsidian and Zotero and because he takes a minimalist attitude toward Obsidian. Sonke Ahrens is a good marketer: his course is the price I'm indifferent to paying. Maybe a bit over.

The price for his course is a bit rich for me, particularly as I am not an Obsidian user. Half what he is charging would be more in my ball-park.
It's about 6.5 hours worth of contents, so $300 USD doesn't seem that bad with added benefits (like free future updates, community access, etc.). The contents seem too tied to the peculiarities of Obsidian, however. For that, the course doesn't appeal to non-Obsidian user like myself.
On second thought, I'm inclined to agree with you. I suspect that How to Take Smart Notes omits the practical details that the course covers, but I wouldn't know without taking the course. If his course could cure Zettelcrastination, then I just might fork over the dough.
