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

4.0

Good techniques -- I especially thought both PARA and Progressive Summarization look very helpful, and I'm immediately setting out to adopt both of them in my own notetaking.


That said, the book could easily be trimmed down way more. Personally found it suffering from the Wadsworth Constant problem. Maybe check out a good summary video of it, see if that helps you before choosing to read the whole book.


The one thing I do find this book to help with is that it's pretty inspiring: I might read random sections in the morning (especially from the last couple chapters) to prod me into being more productive.
