No One-Size-Fits-All Second Brain
- There isn't one "right" way to build a Second Brain; it's personal.
- Copying someone else's system verbatim won't work unless your life, goals, and learning styles perfectly align.

- Many people mistakenly assume a more formal, rigid system is better for knowledge management.
- Informality can foster spontaneity and unexpected connections, essential for a Second Brain.

- Avoid making your Second Brain too rigid, as it can stifle creativity.
- Find a balance between structure and flexibility to allow for serendipitous connections.
