Black Friday Promotion: Last Chance to Join Building a Second Brain

My favorite scene in all the Harry Potter books is when Harry uses a “Pensieve.”

A Pensieve is a large, enchanted dish into which wizards can pour their memories, so that they can later be “re-lived” in full detail:

(Here’s a 5-minute clip from the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in which Harry plunges into one of these preserved memories)

Dumbledore explains why he finds the Pensieve so useful: 

“Very useful, if like me, you find your mind a wee bit stretched . It allows me to see once more things I’ve already seen. You see, Harry, I’ve searched and searched for something, some small detail… Every time I get close to an answer, it slips away! It’s maddening .”

[image error]

Can you relate to Dumbledore’s frustration? I sure can. 

It’s so frustrating to feel like your mind is crammed with too much information, and somehow at the same time, to not be able to find that one important detail when you need it most.

Dumbledore explains how the Pensieve works:

“One simply siphons the excess thoughts from one’s mind , pours them into the basin, and examines them at one’s leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links , you understand, when they are in this form.”

A magical device that perfectly preserves any thought or memory, forever and in full detail, so you can revisit and reflect on it at your leisure…

Now wouldn’t that be nice?

Have you ever felt like your brain would burst if you tried to cram one. more. thing. into it? Have you ever found yourself unable to think clearly because of that constant mental noise? Or unable to solve a problem you knew you were capable of solving, if only your mind was free of clutter? 

Imagine if any time you found yourself with too many “excess thoughts” you could just “pour them” into a trusted place outside your head. And know with certainty that they would be perfectly preserved, forever, so that you could relive them anytime you wanted.

But did you notice the second part of Dumbledore’s explanation?

Not only is the Pensieve useful for gaining relief from excess thoughts, it can also be used to “spot patterns and links.” It is a powerful tool for insight. 

In other words, after you experience the relief of offloading your thoughts, you can use what you’ve collected to think more clearly and communicate more persuasively. 

The Pensieve is a perfect metaphor for the environment of information overload we all live in today. We have too many thoughts and ideas and not enough time to properly think about them. But we can’t just ignore the incoming flow, because we also have a desperate need to understand patterns and connections to produce results in our work.

Think of how much more you could get done if you had a “helper” at your side, relieving some of the burden of remembering all the information you need to do your job. And imagine if this helper was also a thought partner, surfacing relevant ideas right when they were most useful.

What would a modern-day Pensieve look like? One that uses technology, not magic?

I call it a “Second Brain,” and helping people create one for themselves is the purpose of my course Building a Second Brain. Like the Pensieve, it works as an extension of your memory, saving the ideas overflowing from your mind and preserving them for future retrieval.

Also like the Pensieve, a Second Brain doesn’t just give you relief. It also gives you power – the power to understand how your ideas fit together and how the past has shaped the present and future. 

Next month is the third anniversary of the launch of Building a Second Brain. Since then, more than 1,200 students have taken the course, tens of thousands have read the blog posts, I’ve been interviewed on more than 30 podcasts, and I’ll soon kick off a world tour in partnership with the up-and-coming productivity app Notion.

Every day I hear a new story about how these ideas have changed the way people work. Every day I hear more about the impact that having a Second Brain has on their daily lives.

But the truth is, we are just getting started.

With the official launch of our online school Forte Academy, we are doubling down on online, cohort-based courses as the very best way to learn in the 21st century. Following our 8 pillars of education, we are creating a powerful model for online learning that prioritizes community, accountability, actionability, and feedback.

The question guiding our efforts is, “How can we design an online course that is impossible to fail?”

This question has inspired tons of new ideas and possibilities. We are considering everything from templates and guides, to new case studies and live demonstrations, to new forms of support such as coaches and accountability partners.

We will be debuting a new, completely revamped version 10 of the Building a Second Brain course in a few months. It will include numerous improvements based on everything we’ve learned over the past three years. But in order to make these improvements, we need to temporarily close the course to new students. 

On Dec. 6 at midnight Pacific time, we will shut down new enrollments until Spring 2020. 

When enrollment opens again, there will be a few major changes:

The price of the course will increase from $499 and $699 to $799 and $1,199, for the Standard and Premium Editions respectively, which will allow us to invest in every aspect of the learning experience
The course will no longer be available in a self-paced version – only as a live cohort offered two times per year in the Spring and Fall, to ensure we can offer full support and accountability to each and every student
Each live cohort will be extended from 4 to 6 weeks to allow more time for students to integrate what they’re learning, managed by a new full-time Course Manager
We are launching a scholarship program for disadvantaged students with demonstrated need, by application

By increasing the price, giving all students accountability and a schedule, limiting the number of times we offer the course each year, and hiring our first full-time staff, we will be able to dramatically elevate the value we offer. This will ensure as many students as possible complete the program and gain the benefits of a Second Brain for themselves. And by offering a scholarship program, we will be able to continue to serve students with demonstrated need.

A final note on the Pensieve: according to Wizarding World, “Pensieves are rare, because only the most advanced wizards ever use them, and because the majority of wizardkind is afraid of doing so.”

I’d say the same is true of Second Brains – it is only the smartest, most ambitious, most advanced knowledge workers who invest the time to make sure all their reading and learning doesn’t go to waste. But unlike using the Pensieve, there’s nothing to fear when we undertake the process of building one together.

One last chance to purchase at the current price

I’ve never done a Black Friday deal, because I’m not a big believer in impulse purchases. But I know that many of you have been following the evolution of this course for a long time, and I want to give you one last chance to jump on the Second Brain train at the current price.

When you purchase between now and Dec. 6, you’ll have lifetime access not only to the current version of the course (released just last month with numerous new features), but also to every future update, AND all future live cohorts. It’s like an all-access pass that never expires, that you only have to pay for once.

We are now at the cusp of not only a new year, but a new decade. As I see all the offers and promotions flying around this week, most of them for products that will start losing value the moment they arrive, my question for you is “What better investment in the next decade of your life could you make besides upgrading your ability to make use of what you know?” These are the last 30 days of the decade – what else do you plan on spending them on?

Enter your email below if you’d like to hear more about this Black Friday offer. I’ll send you one email per day from my series 7 Lessons BEFORE You Build a Second Brain, my recommendations for how to get the most value out of the experience, and reminders about the two events below. There might even be some extra bonuses

Introducing Forte Academy

Since 2013, we’ve helped thousands of students hone their professional skills through our courses in productivity and personal effectiveness. We’ve seen them gain knowledge, master new skills, and take on new perspectives that have had a profound impact not only on their careers, but on their quality of life.

Now we are kicking things up a notch, with the official launch of Forte Academy, an online school for professional development in the 21st century. We are combining our courses into an integrated curriculum for modern knowledge work. This will allow us to radically improve the student experience, making it more consistent, rigorous, and impactful.

The Opportunity

Technology has reached a critical threshold: many of the most powerful tools available no longer require technical expertise to be used effectively. With the explosion of information available online, anyone with a computer and the willingness to learn can build a website, design a database, make illustrations, publish a blog, or deliver their services remotely to anyone in the world.

To be able to harness these incredible new capabilities, certain skills and knowledge are required: best practices, mental frameworks, daily habits, rules of thumb, tacit skills, and empowering beliefs are just as important as the tools themselves. But this “tacit” knowledge is scarce, confined to a few technology hotspots and exclusive professions. 

Those who know how to effectively consume, organize, interpret, and share their knowledge will be best prepared to take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities opened up by the Internet. The mission of Forte Academy is to democratize access to these skills – to offer the best professional education in the world designed for the modern, connected era. And by doing so, to enable people to unlock their full potential.

Who We Serve

We serve knowledge workers: professionals who manage large volumes of information in their daily work, and use it to produce real-world results. We exist to help these people perform their work more effectively. Our training is designed to empower them to act with confidence and clarity in their work while avoiding information overload, stress, and missed opportunities.

We offer a series of online courses, including Get Stuff Done, Building a Second Brain, and Write of Passage, which together make up a curriculum for high-performance knowledge work. Our online programs are supplemented by a variety of other educational formats—books, videos, articles, essays, podcasts, and subscriptions—as well as in-person workshops.

These programs equip knowledge workers with practical skills such as task management, habit formation, knowledge management, goal-setting, and modern writing. And they deliver not just information, but the frameworks, habits, and mindsets to deploy them effectively. We teach these skills alongside technological tools that can be used to amplify and extend them.

How We Teach

Forte Academy is an interactive learning community where people of different ages, backgrounds, and learning styles come together. We believe in a practical, hands-on approach to learning. That the process of learning is iterative and experimental, not simply about memorizing facts.

Our live courses—Building a Second Brain and Write of Passage—are taught in cohorts of students who meet via video-conference at pre-scheduled times. On these live calls, we engage in discussions, ask and answer questions, reframe limiting beliefs, examine case studies, demonstrate tools and techniques, and provide feedback on students’ work. This is not a passive experience—we expect every student to attend, to participate, and to make an active contribution to the learning of the whole group.

You’ll meet your instructors first as teachers, but more importantly, we will be coaches, consultants, designers, and collaborators. As coaches, we keep students accountable for completing concrete projects and provide feedback on the results. As designers, we curate a structured, yet flexible environment where everyone is challenged but also gets the support they need. And as consultants, we advise them on customizing their own learning process. 

Most importantly, we support our students in the big-picture questions that are more important than any individual subject: what matters to them, where they’re going, what they need to get there, and the impact they want to have on the world. Self-paced courses are effective for learning simple tasks, but for transformative learning, students need a community of fellow learners who can provide the accountability to see it through. 

We are taking Forte Academy to the next level next year. We will be expanding our programs, adding staff and support, and continuing to build an educational curriculum designed for modern knowledge work. If you want to be part of the future of professional education, enter your email below and join our community.

The Creative Process Workshop

We’ve developed a live, in-person creative writing workshop called The Creative Process. First prototyped in New York City, we’ve since delivered it in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Arizona, with many more cities around the world planned for the coming year.

As the name suggests, this isn’t just a workshop to help you write better. It provides a window into the nature of any kind of creativity in the age of information abundance that we now live in because of the Internet and technology. The goal of the workshop is to demonstrate what it feels like to do work with a creative process that allows you to consistently produce your best creative work.

Workshop description

The Creative Process Workshop presents a radical new approach to writing in the Information Age.

All of us are now being called to do more creative work, to generate new ideas and insights at a breakneck pace. But the volume and complexity of information that we have to manage have become totally overwhelming. If we continue to rely on our own mental abilities to keep track of it all, we’re going to struggle to keep up while our peace of mind suffers.

In this workshop, we’ll take you through a writing experience that will reshape how you view the creative process in the Information Age. Instead of starting with a blank canvas and trying to come up with something good, we’ll start with an abundant supply of interesting ideas. The smartphone in the pocket can energize your writing life. Social media can be a source of learning, not just distraction. You can save your ideas in an external tool that you trust to resurface them when you need them.

We call this tool your “Second Brain,” and we’ve taught more than 1,000 people from more than 60 countries how to create one for themselves in our online course Building a Second Brain. In this workshop, we’ll combine the most powerful principles from that course with writing techniques from Write of Passage, a modern writing course taught by David Perell.

In this workshop, we’ll show you why the writing process is not as mysterious as it seems. We’ll take you through each step in a fast-paced sprint: finding an idea, researching, organizing ideas, sorting through notes, and putting the pieces together into a finished product. This isn’t your typical writing workshop. It is a dynamic and interactive experience that will show you what it feels like to fully leverage technology for creativity.

Our medium will be writing, but the lessons apply equally well to any kind of creativity. By changing your relationship with your ideas, we’ll show you how to avoid writer’s block, clarify your thinking, establish domain expertise, and dramatically expand your creative output.

Join us for The Creative Process, and rediscover your creative potential using technology.

Why Now is the Time to Build A Second Brain: 7 Trends Driving the Note-Taking Revolution

Illustration by Mark Weaver

We are living in the midst of an Informational Apocalypse.

The volume of information we’re exposed to every day continues to explode without regard for the number of hours in a day. “Information overload” has evolved from a narrow preoccupation to a pervasive state of mind. Every minute of our day has been colonized by information consumption. And yet the apps, newsletters, podcasts, and notifications keep coming. 

Instead of empowering us and setting us free, this explosion of information has left us more stressed and exhausted than ever. The staggering number of choices we make every hour has left us inefficient, indecisive, and ineffective. One school of thought advocates for “digital abstinence” – turning off our devices, locking away our computers, and cutting off internet access. Yet our lives are now intertwined with the digital world. We can’t just “turn it off.” 

Fortunately, we are also seeing signs of a Note-Taking Revolution.

Academic disciplines such as Personal Information Management (PIM) and Knowledge Management (KM) with strong theoretical foundations have been around for decades. But the combination of the two disciplines – sometimes referred to as Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) – is much newer, having emerged from library science in the late 1990s. 

Although various books and papers have touched on certain aspects of PKM over the last 20 years, there wasn’t yet a practical approach designed for individual use. My online course Building a Second Brain is designed to make Personal Knowledge Management available to every knowledge worker who thinks for a living, with a practical, step-by-step system that fits into their daily lives.

 

There are seven trends I believe make it essential for every knowledge worker to create their own “Second Brain” – a trusted archive of their most valuable knowledge and expertise saved outside of their head: 

Digital notes have become mainstream
Organizing is on the rise
Online education is exploding
We are in a golden age of content
We all work in the gig economy
Millennials are taking leadership positions
Mental health is becoming a central preoccupation

Digital notes have become mainstream

After years as a niche product, digital notes apps have finally become a mainstream category of software used by hundreds of millions. The launch of the iPhone in 2007 gave everyone a “digital notepad” they carried around with them at all times. Evernote launched around this time, riding the smartphone wave to become the default notes app on the devices of more than 200 million people as of 2018.

The technology has now been commodified and made available to anyone with a smartphone. What’s missing is a framework for how to use these tools. I speak to many people who use digital notes every day. Many of them have years of experience and consider themselves “power users.” Almost universally, I hear them say they don’t know how to best organize their notes, don’t have confidence they can find them when they need them, and fear that all the effort they’re putting in is going to waste. I don’t know of another category of software of this size whose users are perpetually so dissatisfied.

We are now in the midst of the “second wave” of notes apps. Digital note-taking has evolved from a tiny niche for writers and academics to a daily practice for nearly every knowledge worker. This new generation of note-taking and “idea capture” tools are flourishing in the market pioneered by Evernote, including Notion, Bear, Simplenote, Agenda, Zoho Notebook, Notability, GoodNotes, Drafts, and many others. Meanwhile, the default notes apps made by technology giants, such as Apple Notes, Google Keep, and Microsoft OneNote, are receiving major upgrades as notes become an essential feature of every device. These free apps come pre-installed on the computers and mobile devices of billions of people. 

It is effortless to download an app, create a note, and jot down some ideas, but it is not at all clear what to do next. The popular “Inbox Zero” concept gave people a framework for email management starting in the late 1990s. The rise of Getting Things Done (GTD) in the early 2000s provided a framework for task management, launching the “personal productivity” revolution and a tidal wave of productivity apps. But there exists no similar framework for knowledge management – organizing our thoughts and ideas to be able to access them in the future. 

Organizing is on the rise

The incredible popularity of Japanese organizing expert Marie Kondo and her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up has continued to fuel the dream of “organizing” all aspects of life. Kondo has demonstrated that organizing our homes and possessions involves so much more than putting things in neat rows. It is a practice of introspection and personal growth that can actually bring vitality and fulfillment into our lives.

I am constantly asked, “Are you the Marie Kondo of the digital world?” There is an incredible hunger to apply the same principles of simplicity, elegance, and ease to the digital world, where we now spend more than 11 hours per day on average. By organizing their digital lives, people gain not only a sense of calm and peace of mind, but entirely new capabilities. They massively expand their ability to organize their ideas and put them to use in their projects and goals. Organizing information is not an end in itself – it is a gateway to a new world of creative self-expression and personal effectiveness.

Online education is exploding

The past few years have seen tremendous growth in online learning, including Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered through platforms such as Coursera, Udacity, Udemy, and edX. The online education industry as a whole is growing 28% per year, and is expected to reach $133 billion by 2023. As a comparison, this is about the same size as the global film industry in 2018. As popular as online courses have been, there are serious concerns over whether online learners successfully complete them. Few students seem to have the organizational and self-management skills needed to structure their own learning in the absence of accountability systems such as tests and grades. They are not equipped with the “meta” learning skills of note-taking and idea management needed to take advantage of the abundance of educational resources online.

The most popular MOOC of all time, Learning How to Learn, has more than 1.7 million enrolled students. Yet even this course focuses on theoretical models of learning, not the practical skills of note-taking and organizing. One of my course participants once commented, “This is the course people should take to be able to take advantage of all the other courses.” A Second Brain will allow online learners to fully take advantage of the wealth of learning resources they have access to online.

We are in a golden age of content

The entire internet is becoming a source of learning. Though online courses are widely available, you no longer need to take a class to learn a new skill – just download a free PDF, watch a YouTube video, or follow thought leaders on social media. This universal, 24/7 access to knowledge is wonderful, but also overwhelming. We are constantly told to “take notes” on what we learn in school, but no one actually teaches us how to do so effectively. Digital note-taking is an essential life skill in an age of abundant content – how to extract an idea you encounter from the stream of media you are consuming and save it for later use even if you don’t know exactly what that use will be.

As technology evolves, expectations around our access to information change as well. We now expect most of our data will be permanently saved and instantly accessible via “the cloud.” How do we reconcile the total accessibility of our digital lives with a concern for the security of our most private thoughts? By creating private repositories where we save the data that matters most to us. Repositories that we control and that only we can decide to share. This is the Second Brain.

 

Creatives work in the gig economy

An increasing percentage of the modern workforce is made up of freelancers, independent contractors, entrepreneurs, and makers. The tools of creative production, from cameras to software to social media, have been completely democratized. This has fueled a “gold rush” of people creating new things and sharing them more easily and for free online. Whether as a full-time job or a side hustle, millions are redefining themselves as “independent creators.” We all now work in or work with those in the gig economy..

But this newfound independence has created a desperate need for strategies and frameworks to help structure the work environment. In the absence of offices, a fixed work schedule, and a manager looking over our shoulder, creators have had to develop their own creative process. They need to follow their own rules and routines to be able to consistently produce their best work, manage multiple projects, and manage the balance between work and life.

At the same time, work is becoming more flexible and location-independent even in the most traditional corporations. Teams of collaborators that span cities, countries, time zones, companies, and even industries are now the norm and not the exception. The hidden requirement for such work is documentation – work must be saved in a visible, tangible, and understandable form before it can be shared across the world. Respected companies such as Amazon and Stripe espouse a “text-first” culture where everything gets written down to encourage clearer thinking and communication. This practice will spread throughout the business world, as more and more companies rely on mobile, distributed teams to get things done.

Millennials are taking leadership positions

The largest generation in U.S. history is taking the reins of business and government – the Millennials. They are the first “digital native” generation and expect to work in a mobile, flexible, digitally savvy way. Digitally saving information is second nature to them, and organizations that don’t allow or facilitate this behavior will lose out on the best available talent.

Millennials are taking professional and leadership roles while machines are becoming more capable than ever. Pervasive fears of “robots taking our jobs” obscure a central finding of research: the best performing teams are made up of humans and computers working together. Studies have shown that having internet search engines available at all times decreases our ability to remember facts. But instead of treating this trend as evidence of cognitive decline, we could embrace it. If computers perform so much better than humans at memorizing detailed facts and figures, we should let them have that job. This leaves more mental capacity for the work only humans can do – creativity, communication, and innovation.

Income inequality among white-collar workers is growing, and increasingly, mere access to information makes no difference in their performance. The ability to manage one’s ideas and reliably turn them into concrete results will be critical to standing out. Having a Second Brain will enable a new generation of knowledge workers to make their creativity a reliable engine of insights – one that combines the best qualities of humans with the best qualities of machines.

Even in our personal lives, we will increasingly feel the need to save the information that defines so much of our lives. From photos to messages, emails, documents, notes, and beyond. We will seek solutions to curate the best of this material in a single, centralized place we control. People of all ages increasingly value relationships and experiences over possessions, and so much of our relationships and experiences now take place online and via digital media. A Second Brain is a digital vault where those precious memories can be stored safely forever.

Mental health is becoming a central preoccupation

Recent trends in mental health also underscore the need to save our memories outside our heads. The population in most developed countries is declining, and populations are rapidly aging. What if we could save the memories of our parents and grandparents in a durable, external medium? What if we could provide thinking tools to help them make the best of the time they have left, even if they experience cognitive difficulties or conditions like Alzheimer’s? 

Even for young people, ADD and ADHD have been diagnosed among wide swaths of the population. The ability to sit still for long periods of time and meticulously memorize facts is increasingly challenging. We need better tools for allowing us to think and create even as attention spans dwindle. 

Now is the time

Alongside all these trends, the world continues to change faster and become less predictable. Traditional career paths no longer make any sense, communities and neighborhoods are fragmented, and the culture is full of conflict. More than ever, people need to be able to make sense of what is going on around them and, to draw in the information that educates and enriches them, without getting overwhelmed or unduly influenced. 

A Second Brain allows you to manage your informational environment. To create a buffer against the onslaught of ads, notifications, incoming messages, and distractions, while also selectively pulling information in to be examined, digested, and made into better models. In an era of information overload, our Second Brain gives us a powerful tool for shaping the flow of information through our lives and redirects it to create the life we want to live.
