Second Brain

A system to organize, store, and quickly retrieve all the knowledge I’ve accumulated, from career to hobbies.

What is a Second Brain?

My second brain is where I store everything I’ve learned and experienced. It allows me to quickly find notes on any topic — whether it’s about work, travel, or personal projects.

A second brain provides:

• Structure → Avoids sifting through unorganized notes.
• Speed → Quickly locate important information.
• Scalability → Handles knowledge growth without chaos.

How is My Brain Organized?

I use the P.A.R.A method to keep things simple and avoid folder bloat.

Areas

• Holds ongoing parts of my life (e.g., finances, travel, hobbies).
• Notes here are evergreen — things I may return to repeatedly.
• Examples:
  • Vacation budget history
  • Video game or movie notes

Resources

• Stores my knowledge library: articles, podcasts, images, personal notes.
• Organized using the Zettelkasten method to create a connected map of knowledge.

How I Take Notes

When writing notes, I always consider:

What would my future self need to remember?

This helps me focus on the essential takeaways rather than unnecessary details.
