There are four essential capabilities that we can rely on a Second Brain to perform for us: 1. Making our ideas concrete. 2. Revealing new associations between ideas. 3. Incubating our ideas over time. 4. Sharpening our unique perspectives. When we brainstorm or think it's not necessary that our ideas have to be on the top of our mind. Ideally you want to have notes and thoughts ready to draw upon. ---- [[Building a Second Brain]] (Tiago Forte)
