HOW TO BUILD THE SECOND BRAIN

How many brilliant ideas have you forgotten? How many insights have you failed
to take action on?

We feel constant pressure to be reading, listening, and watching informational
content. And yet, where has all that knowledge gone? Where is it when we need
it? Our brain can only store a few thoughts at any one time. Our brain is
for having ideas, not storing them.

Building a Second Brain is a methodology for saving and systematically
reminding us of the ideas, insights, and connections we've gained through
experience. It expands our intellect using the modern tools of technology and
networks.

1. BORROWED CREATIVITY

Instead of starting from scratch, you can use other people's ideas and put them
together with your own, and create something that benefits you.

That way, you spend time creating what you need to reach your goals, instead of
wasting hours trying to start from zero.

Example:  If you use Notion, you may know that the templates created by notion
users can be used and personalized by others.

2. THE CAPTURE HABIT

Our mind is fragile, therefore every idea, thought or information that interests
us must be captured and recorded either manually or digitally.

Example: When reading a book, listening to a podcast, or any activity about a
certain topic, if you find something that resonates with you should save it and
use it.

3. IDEA RECYCLING

Reusing our own ideas in several projects is an activity that can be very useful
to us since we not only relate the new information with what we already have but
in this way we avoid starting a project with a blank mind.

4. PROJECTS OVER CATEGORIES

When capturing an idea, instead of categorizing it in a folder, it is better to
join it with other documents that have a clear objective such as a project or
activity.

Example: You want to be more productive, gather all the ideas that help to that
end.

5. SLOW BURNS

Although you could finish a project, task or activity if you focus on it for a
long period of time, this does not mean that you should do it.

You will end up exhausted and limited to advance one project at a time. Instead,
dividing your schedule into different activities and repeating them every day is
more convenient.

Example: Instead of cramming all night, studying a few hours every day is better
for our health and more effective.

6. START WITH ABUNDANCE

Do not start with a blank page, when dealing with a new topic, you may have read
or saved some information that is related to it, therefore you can use these
papers or researches that you did to start and have a better vision on the
subject.

7. INTERMEDIATE PACKETS

Known as a block of content or information in an essay. It is like a section or
paragraph in the paper, you can take them and use them in other projects.

If you can, memorize the blocks of information that can help you in the future
so that you can insert them whenever you want.

8. YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT YOU MAKE

We can see, listen, and read all kinds of things that interest us, but at the
end of the day what we are going to be left with is everything we do with that
information, whether it is a summary of these materials or some other activity
such as writing your opinion or thoughts about it.

9. MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOUR FUTURE SELF:

Create documents or files that your future self can easily understand, use your
own words, make mind maps, or do your own summaries because you will most likely
forget everything you are learning now.

Example: The infographic at the beginning is a good example, it synthesizes the
concepts and activities involved in building a Second Brain.

10. KEEP YOUR IDEAS MOVING:

It doesn't matter how much information you're storing in your second brain if
you don't put it into practice, it's useless for it to be there accumulating.

Example: We all know that exercising is good, but not all of us practice it.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to
anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

“

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is
creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a
learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

“

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest
to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

“

provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

“

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics
you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

“

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas
and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and
happier.

“

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of
information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

“

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to
questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at
work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
