The Art Of Constructing A Second Brain: Dive Into The Proverbial Pool Of Knowledge Management To Better Sort Tedious Information, Manage Your Time, And ... Learning And Cognitive Excellence)
You don’t need to pay for a personal assistant. We can help you build one.We’ve all been constantly reminding ourselves not to forget our wallet and keys.
When it’s time to head out, our brain seems to remember everything except those.
But let’s not jump to conclusions and put all the blame on our cognitive abilities.
After all, there’s only so much our brain can remember at a given time.
In fact, according to American psychologist George Armitage Miller’s The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, short-term memory lasts about 15-30 seconds.
And short-term memory can only hold seven pieces of information.
In times like these, we all wish we could afford a personal assistant to remember all the minute details of our day-to-day endeavors.
What if we told you that you could build your very own personal assistant, intricately designed just for you, at a low cost?
This book is an all-encompassing self-help guide that helps you get there by laying out all the nitty-gritty of building a second brain—an efficient and effective knowledge management system.
According to the Technology Services Industry Association, over 70% of companies predict a 20% increase in productivity as a result of effective knowledge management.
That’s not to say that knowledge management is only suitable for big corporations.
Truth be told, if you’ve been creating a checklist on your phone’s inbuilt notes app or a sticky note on your fridge, you already have a knowledge management system in place.
We’re here to show you how you can utilize tools already at your disposal to refine your approach to knowledge management into a brilliantly polished gem.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll discover inside the
Google’s simple yet effective goal-setting methodology (that you can apply to your personal life!)How to use gaming elements to turn your plans into epic adventures (reaching your goals doesn’t need to be boring)How Netflix uses its intricate knowledge management system to keep you satisfied (AND save the company about $1 billion a year!)Four free and easy-to-use note-taking apps to elevate your knowledge management system (you can use any or all based on your needs)How to keep a knowledge management system alive without killing off traditional physical sources of information in the digital ageThe one extremely common thing that can lead to increased unhappiness, a negative work environment, and decreased productivity and creativityA brilliant CODE for effective and efficient note-taking and organizationWhy you shouldn’t create a rigid knowledge management system—employ a mix of these six flexible elements instead…and much, much more!
We’ve come across numerous books on knowledge management that teach the power of organization. But much to our surprise, they are filled with tenuous technical jargon and rigid systems.
While other books lack certain credibility, focus, and organization, this book makes up for all of it—tenfold.
It doesn’t simply present you with a rigid system to follow mindlessly; this book presents a myriad of possible solutions for readers from all walks of life.

This source was well written but generic. I had already read too many of the sources authors summarized and was really hoping for something more or greater depth. This book did not meet my goals, but might be what someone completely new to these ideas wants.

A Good Companion Book to Tiago Forte's Books.
Al! In all a good summary with relevant expansion where helpful. Will refer to it and a couple others as I build my own Second Brain system.
