Episode notes
Second Brain as a System
- A second brain isn't a single tool, but a distributed system like personal finance.
- It's a collection of apps, websites, and even people, not a monolithic entity.
Intentional Knowledge Management
- Building a second brain is about intentional and systematic knowledge management.
- It's a spectrum of improvement, not a binary have/have-not state.
Personal Finance Parallel
- Tiago Forte compares building a second brain to personal finance awakenings.
- He cites "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "You Need a Budget" as influential resources.
