Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential by Tiago Forte
informative
medium-paced
5.0
Very decent book on digital note-taking and the Zettelkasten method. I'll probably use some of the things that were mentioned since they don't seem to make sense to me, but that doesn't take away from the book as a whole.
An example of the things that don't make sense is the folder-based note-sorting method PARA. We already can retrieve notes almost instantly with tags and keywords, so unless the need for separation is needed (for example to separate work, life, school, etc.), why would we spend time sorting them according to PARA at all?
Neverthelesss, the book was insightful and there was quite a lot of things to take away from it. The author also encourage taking the parts that resonates with you and forget the rest, and I tend to agree with that.
