Hey Friends,
One of the most surprising things Iāve learned over the years is to learn how to āBuild a Second Brainā. I have come to realise that it require a Ā deep mindset shift to create an effective knowledge management system.
You would think or just list the best practices, recommend a good app, and be done with it. But Iāve found that peopleās attitude toward information is one of theĀ most deeply entrenched belief systemsĀ in their lives.
Now, where did this belief system come from?
Probably, most of us have picked it up in school and college and had it reinforced at our jobs. We were often told these things:-
- Information isĀ scarce
- We have toĀ protect and hoard it
- We must never draw on theĀ ideas of othersĀ (thatās cheating)
- More research is always better andĀ we never have enough
-
Risks are manyĀ and opportunities few
- And that you have to study for many yearsĀ before you know anything worth sharing and many others.
In reality, the unconscious development of this Scarcity MindsetĀ holds us back from truly embracing the information abundance which we now have access to online.
Let me ask you a Question? :- What would happen if we toppled this belief system?
My Personal experience is that āBeing able to catch ideas as they come, is one of the most important things I could perfect. I build my second brain every single day for the rest of my career. This isĀ not a static database but is rather a living, breathing system of information and knowledge management.ā
Second brain is one of the best resourcesĀ because it gives me the freedom to easily consume information, organize it, and create whatever I want to create out of it. It taught me a fantastic way toĀ simultaneously learn more, and archive information, to be able to fully focus on one thing, all while keeping the information I have already collected readily available.ā
In the digital age we live in, you canāt balance as much information we take in every day without neglecting a few stalks or forgetting to water new ideas entirely.Ā This systems take care of that and introduce an entirely new way of processing that will incorporate into daily life easily.
What is the concept of āBuilding Second Brainā ?
ā
Building A Second BrainĀ is aĀ
methodology for saving and systematically remindingĀ us of the ideas, inspirations, insights, and connections weāve gained through our experience. It expands our memory and our intellect using the modern tools of technology and networks.Ā
This methodology is not only forĀ preserving those ideas, but turning them into reality. It provides a clear, actionable path to creating a āsecond brainā ā an external, centralized, digital repository for the things you learn and the resources from which they come.ā
The newly acquired deep mindset shift will give you the following new take on the information : -
-
Information becomes powerĀ when you act on it
- We canĀ outsource our memoryĀ to our devices or apps like ( Evernote , Notion, Drive Or I Cloud ).
- Creativity is aĀ collaborative, social activity.
- Publishing our work can beĀ easy and incredible fun,
- And that youĀ donāt need to be the worldās greatest expertĀ to have something to offer.
Seeing this mindset shift in action actually made me realize that we only truly change when we see someone else, someone like us, changing first. That is where the belief that change is possible comes from. Itās important to dismantle the old mindsetĀ that no longer serves us. And to rebuild a new, more effective one in its place.
My question for you is: - Are you ready to unlearn? Are you ready to create a system, which can help you in your Knowlege management ?
Have a great week aheadĀ
Joe
