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.

– Building a Second Brain: An Overview

Thinking like a curator is a kind of [[information strategy]].

[[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
