Building a second brain (the easy way)
The art of building a second brain was popularized by Tiago Forte. Building a Second Brain (BASB) is a methodology for personal knowledge management that emphasizes the idea of using digital tools to extend the cognitive capacities of the human brain.
The central premise of the building a 2nd brain note-taking method is that our brains are not optimized for the kind of information overload we experience in the modern world. They are not meant to remember and process the vast amount of information we encounter on a daily basis. Instead, we can use digital tools to create an external, digital "second brain" that can store, process, and retrieve information on our behalf.
This video walks through how to apply this note-taking method to your own note-taking app. This will show you how to easily build a second brain.
