Building a Second Brain
I had heard this phrase around the internet and was intrigued. A second brain? Sign me up! I watched some youtube videos on it and then found out there was a book. I checked it out and it is basically a way of organizing your notes so you can find them easier. I take alot of notes and sometimes I don’t remember where I put hem.
Creating a Knowledge Bank
What to capture??
- Highlights from Books - Capture those from Kindle books or use ReadWise to automatically send you daily snippets of a couple of your highlights.
- Quotes you hear or read and their source
- Bookmarked webpages
- Meeting Notes
- Images you find
- Book Summaries from books you have Read
- Summaries from Videos you have watched – make those youtube hours more meaningful and memorable!
Criteria for collection mentioned:
- Does it inspire me?
- Is it Useful?
And I want to add:
- Do I want to find this again?
- Do i want to keep this forever?
And having it written down, frees my mind up from trying to remember it.
