We have so much information available within the reach of our information. We read more than anyone else ever did. We consume information more than anyone ever did. But how much of what we read do we remember? How much of what we consume helps us to move forward in our lives?

If you are not using any system to store those ideas and information, I guess it's a mere percentage. Because our brains are forgetting machines.

If you want to remember the ideas, inspirations, and information that you have gained through reading and experience, you need a system that can help you do so.

In this story, I will take you through the fundamentals of building a second brain and how you can use those fundamentals to create a second brain in any note-taking app of your choice.
