706: Building A Second Brain (Part 1 of 2)
If you've enjoyed our past content on Getting Things Done, and you're looking ways to improve and/or simplify your organization system, this show is for you!
Guest: Alex Bell was the teenager I had mind when I first started this whole School Sucks project. Struggling through school and variety of personal challenges, he was the kind of person I hoped to reach. He discovered School Sucks Podcast in 2009, when the show was about three months old, and he has been a listener since then. He then became a supporter, and then a contributor, and now even an advisor.
We first connected in Salem, MA in 2017, and since then we've become very close friends.
So today Alex is back in an advisory role, to help me look at some ways to implement Tiago Forte's "Building A Second Brain" organization and productivity system. We'll talk about what we've already done, and how much further I should go.
We do an overview of the entire methodolgy, but then we'll focus in on two of the key concepts: PARA (projects, areas, resources, archive) and Progressive Summarization (for creating more actionable and accessible notes).
