Building a Second Brain is about the holistic creative process, from writing something down in the first place all the way to turning it into your own creation. One of the chapters in the book is dedicated to how to organize digital content using a technique I developed called PARA.
The enthusiasm and interest around PARA have been so intense that Tiago decided to write an entire book about it. It's shorter, only about 1/3 the size of BASB, and is filled with colorful illustrations and stand-out quotes to make it as easy to understand as possible.
Think of The PARA Method as the "implementation guide" to your Second Brain. If you've found the concept of knowledge management compelling and want to give it a try for yourself, there's no better place to begin than by organizing the ideas and knowledge you already have lying around.
There is no single organizing technique or approach I've found more powerful in a shorter amount of time than PARA. I've seen it transform people's relationship with digital information in LITERALLY seconds countless times.
Tiago has packed everything he has learned about how to implement PARA successfully – guidelines, best practices, do's and don'ts, examples, case studies – into this mini-book so you don't have to rely on trial-and-error as he did.
You don't need to read Building a Second Brain to implement and benefit from PARA. If you've been looking for an actionable way to start building your own Second Brain, this is the best possible starting point.
