Building a second brain

Building a second brain, from Tiago Forte.

Essentially an information strategy. A way of capturing, connecting, and creating information and knowledge.

Perhaps more a form of personal knowledge management. It results in the construction of something akin to a personal wiki.

(What's the difference between personal knowledge management and information strategies?)

• remember (collecting the dots?)
• connect (connecting the dots?)
• create

an external, centralized, digital repository for the things you learn and the resources from which they come.

Progressive summarisation.

PARA. Projects, areas, resources, archives.

• don't just consume information passively - put it to use
• create smaller, reusable units of work
• share your work with the world
