"Building a second brain" has been useful for developing more self awareness.

Journaling too.

But the note taking part of the second brain system is groundbreaking.

When you take notes on ideas that resonate with you, or tasks you have to do, you remember more.

And that frees your mind.

You can rest now.

See, productivity is about doing less, not more.

It's about doing more of the important, and less of the unimportant.

If I take a note on a thing I have to do, I take a note, and I know I'm going to look it up later and schedule a time to do that task.

Believe in the system, and rest.
