10 core Ideas explaining why you too, should start creating and using a 2nd brain
Borrowed Creativity - ideas and inspiraition you have picked up over time and saved down which you can combine into a super idea/business in fture
Capture Habit - brain can generate idea but the brain will not hold or remember for very long. 2nd brain is where you save it digitally
Recycling Ideas -By storing ideas in pieces, they can be used many times for future (ideas are not single use) e.g. when building different businesses, blog, tweet. Each idea is like a LEGO block
Projects over Category - Store notes by projects (projects which you may be working on, like “Accounting System”, “Govt. Funding Program”) and not category ( “Marketing”, “Fitness”)
Slow Burns - think of storing items or assigning tasks in small pieces, like “snacks/lego blocks” and not “main meals” - this help you achieve more and keep moving forward
Start with Abundance - if you collect small ideas and information over time, then with any project or task, you never start from “0”. You will always have some relevant info you can use in the 2nd brain
Intermediate Packets - Like chapters in a book, you can arrange your ideas from 2nd brain for any future projects by picking up and arranging all your relevant ideas/info into a logical flow
You only Know what you Make - You have to digest to learn. Reading a book and looking at news is all great. But to truly learn and keep the information, you need to “action”, e.g. write a “summary of ideas” or “key points” of the book.
Make your Life Easier -2nd brain idea is to do your planning work “now” to make your future life “easier”
Keep your ideas moving - Need to turn the saved information into an easily understood format when you revisit the ideas in the future. Otherwise, it may just be a collection of articles, references and books.
