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

4.0

Forte's Second Brain concept seems useful, and he provides examples for implementation. The most useful metaphor I found was the kitchen one for PARA: Projects as the current pots on the stove, Areas of responsibility as the fridge, Resources as the pantry, Archives as the freezer. We wouldn't put frozen fruit, fresh fruit, and orange juice all in the same place in the kitchen just because they're all fruit-based; similarly, our notes should be grouped by where we'll need them, not where we found them.
