There are three stages of progress Forte often observes—and even encourages—as people set out on their Second Brain journey. Those stages are remembering, connecting, and creating. To start, just clear your notes inbox and decide on your priorities for the week. From there, you can add other steps as your confidence grows. It’s called PARA – a simple, comprehensive, yet extremely flexible system for organizing any type of digital information across any platform.

But what if there’s a way to not only stash more data but also whip it out when you need it? And what if you could free up mental real estate for, say, brilliant creativity and swift problem-solving? Overall, Building a Second Brain bisa jadi buku yang berguna buat kasih fondasi awal untuk lebih organized. Penerapannya gimana, bisa kita otak-atik sendiri, nggak mesti plek-ketiplek ngikutin formulanya Tiago Forte juga. Bukunya gue kasih 8/10 karena sebagai penganut kadang analog kadang digital, kasihan yang analog berasa nggak disebut bagusnya apa. Hahaha. Ada juga beberapa part di buku ini yang kesannya repetitif buat gue. In the next couple of chapters, I’ll show you how the practice of creating a Second Brain is part of a long legacy of thinkers and creators who came before us—writers, scientists, philosophers, leaders, and everyday people who strived to remember and achieve more. Then I’ll introduce you to a few basic principles and tools you’ll need to set yourself up to succeed. Part Two, “The Method,” introduces each of the four steps you’ll follow to build a Second Brain so you can immediately begin to capture and share ideas with more intention. And Part Three, “The Shift,” offers a set of powerful ways to use your Second Brain to enhance your productivity, accomplish your goals, and thrive in your work and life.

Second brain ini nggak hanya berguna untuk saat ini, tapi juga untuk diri kita sendiri di masa mendatang. Jangan habisin waktu untuk cari aplikasi note-taking yang sempurna sebagai second brain. Masing-masing punya kelebihan dan kekurangannya.

People from all walks of life have benefited from a Second Brain

If you don’t use a digital notes app, get started with one now. But I know that choosing your notes app can feel overwhelming and paralyzing. But as long as you view your work through the lens of areas, you’ll never quite know just how much is on your plate. Looking at the list above, how much of a workload does “Hiring” represent? It could be anything from a part-time hire every 6 months to filling 50 positions this quarter. The second two steps of using your ESS are to refine your notes to their most important parts and use them to create something (these are the distill and express steps of Forte’s CODE system). These steps are part of the contraction mode of the creative process—they’re designed to narrow the scope of your information and propel you toward the completion of your goals. Share your journey as you’re building your Second Brain. There’s nothing more effective for adopting new behaviors than surrounding yourself with people who already have them. Guess what? You’re in good company. This is a worldwide conundrum. We’re swimming (sometimes floundering) in an ocean of data daily.
