One of the most annoying problems I face in my life is information overwhelm. I read all these books, listen to podcasts and watch YouTube videos and don’t feel like I’m taking anything away from what I’m consuming. That is until I came across the concept of the second brain what we’ll be discussing in this episode of ‘Book Club’ with Tiago Forte’s ‘Building a Second Brain’.

One of the Best Videos I Found. Thanks Ali.
can someone tell me where ali is from? my guess is, he is from bangladesh
Thank you
What is the difference between hard work and smart work?and how to do smart work???
The easiest way – not to consume all this shitty information every day. Like this useless video, for example.
I sometimes use Apple Notes as well
Why u speak só fast brother
I’ve been putting nice videos and links in the “pocket” app from Mozilla, but I’d like to expand it
hi, which cam do you use ?
You’ve gotta dewrinkle that shirt G. ⚡️
Ali, please add on your apple notes "Don't shave Beard….Ever"
5:22 having fun, yeah right…
What negative impact has practicing medicine had on you?
i'm a non english native, seeing you talk seems like i'm fast forwarding the video 😅 amazing content tho!
" So I read all these books and get overloaded with information " and to fix this I'll read another book about reading to many books and getting overloaded with information. Haha 10/10
انشأ لنا محتوى متعلق بتسلسل الأفكار أثناء المحاضرة
and why don't you use omni focus? It's built for that purpose
forgive me but you talk too fast, makes your video uninteresting despite being capturing ….i don't know if its my video audio that is on speed or something but i doubt
Have you read women who run with wolves by clarissa pinkola estes ? ❤
Outstanding ❤️
WHY TALKING SO FAST???
Very interesting video, however I felt exhausted by the end. Can you slow down.
I need third brain to follow your speaking speed.
The key is not to complicate things, keep them simple
6:10 Damn, someone is really starving from ideas
4:03 Varys enters the chat
I really like the idea about categorizing by actionability. Makes so much sense. I have so much stuff categories by topic but I never re-visit them.
Hey Ali please speak slow man, I watch your video in .75x
The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can.
I keep drawing big ole hairy ass dicks on every page. I'm personally not getting much out of the notebook but some slight therapeutic benefits
Thank you! 💘👍
Super video, as I have notes everywhere! I know want them all in one area.
Please make video to how to make mental map of any topic
You are speaking too fast..
I swear I thought I had the video at x1.5 speed :O
Your videos are always very insightful.
Thank you.
I will rebrand and revive my YouTube Channel next year.
I love your content so much, I would take my subscription to heaven!
Talk slower dude
Could you explain how you use the filters in your gmail?
I would love to see how many people help you in the background, I'm sure you don't do everything yourself, like editing, uploading, designing, or what whatever you do around your business, and how much time you spend time doing your business compared to doing everything yourself.
Hello Ali, Any tips on mind-mapping in conjunction to the second brain concept?
It's nice to see how ideas that you get thanks to different inner processes are captured and shared by other people different than you with different backgrounds and context. Today I discovered that spontaneously I have created my own second brain exactly as it is said here without any external inspiration. Awesome how ideas work!
