Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential by Tiago Forte

4.0

I found Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte quite useful. There are a lot of helpful tips which can be used by people depending upon their work, the amount of reading they do, how much data they save and amount of time they have to implement the ideas given in the book.

The idea of the ‘second brain’ is to have enough space in our minds for more creative and fulfilling endeavors. We don't need to remember everything. What we find useful can be saved in our digital notes. We can use different criteria to store these notes according to their usefulness. While taking notes we should be brief and try to synthesize our notes from other categories for deeper insights. I have been taking notes digitally and physically for some time now and I think this would be a useful read for people who are struggling with digital clutter, or who are trying to be more productive or creative.
