    • tiago forte has really good videos on how to manage your second brain. he even wrote a book on it! i haven't read it myself, but his videos are really good.
    • jorge medina has really good notes on tiago's work here.
      • The core concept of the book revolves around the CODE Framework, which stands for:

        • Capture - Keep what resonates
        • Organize - Save for actionability
        • Distill - Find the essence
        • Express - Show your work
      • Another framework from Tiago is the PARA Framework, which stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive. He explains it in detail in his book “The PARA Method”; but the key takeaway is intentionality.

    • maggie appleton has some notes on tiago's work as well, you can read that here.
