@cthulhu2478 Год назад

I feel like Notion helps her design/see how her brain works and how it makes connections through life. She's able to talk as fast as her thoughts, it's overwhelming but very impressive. Also she seems extremely in tune with her thoughts and who she is. The way she takes notes must have taken years to master. It's refreshing to see someone working WITH her brain, instead of fighting and going against it. Understanding how your brain works is probably the most powerful tool you can have in this world.

As a person who works in the fire and building codes for my job, we use the analog style of reference titles, chapters, sections, and subsections. Elizabeth make me think of my zettlekasten in this way and I was so excited to think about how to incorporate it! It’s something that makes a lot of sense the more you get into it and really helped me get towards making those connected, conflicting, and crazy relations she was talking about. Thanks for posting Forte Labs team!

Elizabeth is amazing! Thank you so much Elizabeth. I've been wanting to apply PARA or second brain but always failed to incorporate it into my current note taking system. It turns out, with my ADHD, her notes and my notes look more similar, especially compared to complex PARA system with some Notion advisors. (I'm also using Notion, so naturally I'm drawn to them - and shame myself for not being able to make it work). Also shoutout to Tiago who balances the conversation with his warm tone, summary, that helps us to understand what's going on. Also, I watch on 1x here. Hihihi. Thanks you both! Will definitely check Elizabeth's page, also a medical doctor here!

@alvynTC Год назад

Its fascinating how she speaks about it, pure passion. Actually, I am more simple than this system. For me is most useful simple capture to the task manager and then decide / organise. Jeff Su has made nice video. Regarding the note taking system, I use mostly Apple Notes and starting to use the Drafts as quick note system > when I then transfer the note to the apple notes if its worth it. Drafts are cool, because they have app on apple watch where you can just instantly dictate the note. I am thinking about learning the Obsidian because many people recommends it , but will see....

@userMB1 11 месяцев назад

This video inspired me to re-evaluate my own work style, however i couldn't stop thinking whether she realizes this system only exacerbates her memory problems (which she most likely thinks it's worse than it is). Because why memorize anything if you just can store it? I recommend a simple habit of just rereading notes once a week. The ones that are read 5 times are going to be read once a month. After 6 months of reading said notes now only once a year. Ymmw ✌🏻💯

@timmeeyy2103 Год назад

Great video! With regards to notion or apple notes: Is someone else also super annoyed by the fact that neither notion nor Apple Notes have the feature to return to the last seen section of a page (like OneNote has)? Especially when you're using information frequently (such as at work), this makes it way less usable, or am I missing something?

Hey Tiago. Are any of these collections of notes on Notion public? I would love to analyze such a dataset of ideas.

@FutileGrief Год назад

She’s so structured I thought she might end up being an Architect style! Classifying everything under precise statements isn’t really discoverable I think. It is incredibly structured. If it were gardening she would be using tags and let the information sort itself out when the time came she needed to retrieve that information. don’t you think?

@gpwahyunanda Год назад

I don't know about using tags effectively in Notion because it is not quite user friendly when using tags in Notion, unlike Obsidian. Notion is designed for architect so it is what it is. Using tag make it more overwhelmed

The thing that many people do not realize is that Elizabeth is gifted and often, what many of us do not realize is that we will never be able to achieve what she says, as to her information comes much easier than to an average person. Not saying that she does not put in the effort, but most people who would put in the same amount of effort wouldn't be able to achieve things to the same extent as her

@Mr.Opinion Год назад

what no one talks about is deciding what goes into the second brain. Your real brain has a natural mechanism of remembering and forgetting. Until you update the second brain with this necessary mechanism you will inevitably waste time putting things into your second brain that you never need or you never forget (meaning it bogs down your second brain). I am trying to find this balance when building my own second brain, but it is challenging.

@nicrobb Год назад

I believe Tiago addresses this well by initially framing things with the 12 favourite problems exercise. Then further culls the info by using the lens of collecting info related to a particular project (something you produce that has a definable end/finish). So all info is usable at least once... It can then be called upon at a later date if the information is archived/ or put into a 'resource' (depending on how you structure your 2nd brain) Any info you're recording not related to a current project is a waste of your energy. Why consume something with no intended output? This is a productivity system after all..

@zetizahara Год назад

@@nicrobb My impression from watching the video is that it would be great to collect all the creative ideas I have at random moments together so I could easily access them when I'm put on the spot for ideas and my mind inevitably goes blank.

@nicrobb Год назад

@@zetizahara I totally understand and have been in the same position.... Even now. I really have to focus on being project focused.... And even more focused on working /researching one project at a time. I find the 2nd brain system more effective for me by keeping my focus narrow and intentional. Otherwise I bookmark everything. Admire you if you can make "broad focus" work without feeling over whelmed.

Leaving this comment incase anyone else like me stumbles upon this. I believe the creating cards and linking stages are separate, as you can create a bunch of cards from content you read and dive in whenever to derive topics and new connections from them. This might be why Elizabeth mentioned processing 2-3 times a year, I think she's processing *cards* 2-3 times a year.

@CaueCastro-dg2hv Год назад

I see the benefits of a having a method of note-taking in the sense that I waste a lot of random reading time that doesn't really stick. However, it would be beneficial to bring in the potential downsides of talking about a 'second-brain' as if our current brain somehow fall short of its capacity to store necessary information. Our memory stores information based on a complex link of beliefs, emotions, experiences, stress, relationships, health, etc....if all of our memory gets 'boxed' into a set of external data references, it might lead to a FOMO based on a fabricated need that doesn't match with our real human needs. I'm using personal experience and common sense here, so I might be wrong
