Your system is the thing holding you back

You're brilliant. You're ambitious. You thrive on tackling big problems and getting things done.

But while you're operating at full capacity, your knowledge system is holding you back.

  • You're rewriting the same idea in five different places.
  • You're searching three apps just to find a note from last week.
  • You're constantly context-switching because your tools don't talk to each other.

You deserve better.

You deserve a knowledge system that matches your intelligence and amplifies your capabilities – not one you have to babysit and manage constantly.

What you need is less system and more trusted assistant. Something that always has your back, knows where everything lives, and helps you move faster without thinking twice.

Why it keeps happening

Most systems demand way too much from us

Let's face it β€” most of us are stuck in systems that demand way too much from us. Endless tweaking, organising, and sorting just to feel on top of things. You spend hours maintaining your workspace, but it never seems to actually help you.

What if your workspace could work just as hard as you do? What if it could actually simplify your day instead of adding to the mental load?

Imagine a workspace in Tana where everything you need is at your fingertips β€” where capturing ideas is quick and painless, and your system does the organising for you. No more wrestling with endless folders or struggling to remember where you saved that note.

Your workspace should be your ally in your knowledge work, not another obstacle.

That's where Tana Fast Track comes in.

You deserve a knowledge system that works for you

Build a system you'll actually enjoy using β€” without the overwhelm

In Tana Fast Track we'll strip back all the complexity and overthinking that you've done so far in Tana and help you to build a high-performing knowledge system that is simple & effective at keeping you focused and in flow every single day.

And don't worry, I won't bombard you with 87+ Supertags, complex ontologies or any other mind-boggling features you'll never use.

Instead, we'll focus on six core workflows that work together to build a high-performing knowledge system. Plus these workflows are fully modular, so you can choose what you need and leave out what you don't.

The result? A fully personalised workspace that you'll truly enjoy using.

The templates you install

The Tana Fast Track Core Workflows

I've been building custom workflows for individuals & teams for over 12 years. I know the difference between something that looks fancy and something that people will actually use. So I've distilled all of this into 6 core workflow templates in Tana Fast Track.

They are designed to be modular. Install the ones you need, skip the ones you don't. This means your workspace won't get cluttered up with Supertags you'll never touch. Plus, each template is a base, designed for you to customise and adapt to the way you work, so your system feels truly yours.

Each template includes full setup & installation documentation as well as walkthrough videos to show you how to use each template.

Stay focused & on track with your work

Track everything you need to get projects shipped, never let another task slip through the cracks, and run a weekly planning workflow you'll actually like doing.

The new thinking

A next-level workspace needs a new way of thinking

Tana Fast Track isn't just about learning a new tool β€” it's about adopting a new way of thinking and working so you can truly build a next-level workspace. And for that you need more than just tips or tricks.

You need a new set of core philosophies that reshape how you approach your knowledge work & systems. These five core mindsets will form the foundations of your new knowledge system:

Daily Note First Thinking

Your daily note becomes the single source of truth. Capture everything that happens throughout your day, and effortlessly connect it to other spaces in Tana so you can always find what you need when you need it.

Minimum Viable Capture

Get things out of your head fast, without overcomplicating the process. Say goodbye to inboxes and endless sorting β€” just capture what's important and move on, with zero friction.

Automagic Organisation

Let Tana do the heavy lifting. You'll learn how to build a system that organises your notes for you, so you can stay focused on what matters instead of spending time manually sorting through information.

Just-In-Time Retrieval

Always have the right information at your fingertips, exactly when you need it. No more digging through folders or trying to remember where you stored a note. Tana's retrieval system will make sure you're always prepared.

Mise En Place Workflows

Treat your workspace like a chef treats their kitchen: everything within easy reach and perfectly positioned for your next task. By mastering this mindset, your workspace will become as efficient and smooth as a well-run kitchen.

And after that

When you're ready for an AI agent, the hard part is already done

An AI agent is only ever as good as the knowledge it can reach. Most people bolt one onto a mess and then wonder why the answers come back so generic.

Build the knowledge base first and your AI agent has something real to work with: your notes, your projects, your people, your decisions, all in one place.

You don't need to want any of that to get value from this course. A knowledge system that keeps you organised, focused and in flow is worth building on its own. But if an AI agent is where you're heading, this is the part that makes it any good.

Who Tana Fast Track is for

If you're busy and don't have time for YouTube rabbit holes, Tana Fast Track is most likely for you.

Tana Fast Track is probably not for you if you are looking for ontologies, want to debate over PKM tools or talk about the philosophy of knowledge management. We're here to get work done, simply.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply Tana invites for people who join the course?

Yes! Anyone who purchases the template pack or the course gets access to an invite if needed. If you need a Tana invite reach out to me after you've purchased via DM in the Circle community & I'll get one to you.

Tana updates often. Does the course get updated?

Yes! With each new update that Tana introduces I update the course modules either with a small text addendum or an extra video (or if it's a big update β€” a whole new module). Tana's own update notes are often quite technical, so I also break them down for what you can practically do with the update.

Is Tana Fast Track for beginners only?

Nope. Although we start with Tana fundamentals which are excellent for beginners, Tana Fast Track is for anyone who wants to build a daily driver system to help them achieve 'mind like water' β€” no matter if they are a beginner or pro Tana user.

Do I have to be technical to use Tana (or have a PKM background)?

Not at all. I'll walk you through step by step each of the fundamentals of Tana and the workflows. Depending on your level of technical abilities you can speed up or slow down at any time.

Do I need to be building an AI agent to get value from this?

No. This is a knowledge system course first β€” it's worth building whether or not there's ever an agent on top of it. If you do want an agent later, you'll already have the thing it needs to be any good: your notes, projects, people and decisions in one connected place.

About Me

Ev, your teacher

I've been coaching & building knowledge workflows for individuals & businesses for over 12 years. So I know how to create systems that people will actually use.

My approach is all about simplicity β€” breaking down complex ideas into easy, practical steps anyone can follow. You name an app, I've used it & built workflows with it.

You'll find that my teaching style is anything but dry or boring (check out my YouTube videos if you want to get my vibe!). And as one of the very first Tana Ambassadors I've got the full backing of the Tana team behind me.

Here's what some people have to say about my teaching vibe ✨
