    I appreciate the recommendation of the book, although I have not had the opportunity to try it myself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it!

    very nice. Is Notion is the best tool for creating a second brain?

      I recently created https://www.swizo.app/, which is a useful tool for organizing ideas if you want to try it out.

    Thx for sharing - will check out the book. Are you 100% all-in on Notion? I looked at it but as best I can tell it doesn't have the backlink tracking aspect which seems pretty crucial for making sense of the web of connections. Two I'm investigating for this are https://obsidian.md/ and https://reflect.app/
    Would be curious if anyone has thoughts on either of these apps or anyone knows if Notion is planning to add the backlink tracking aspect. cheers

      If you're looking for a tool to help with mindmapping and connecting ideas, I recently created https://www.swizo.app/, if you want to try it out.

    For those curious about building a second brain, personal knowledge management and related topics, check out my blog; I regularly write about those: https://dsebastien.net

    I've also created the Obsidian Starter Kit to help folks get started more quickly: https://developassion.gumroad.com/l/obsidian-starter-kit

    Interesting concept (my first time seeing "Second Brain") and definitely will explore/read more about it (I'm a Notion fan myself :p) Thanks for the share!

    ps: the url in the video description might be wrong at the time of writing this comment

    Do you use any notion specific features to make your second brain easier to navigate?

      I think building a second brain will need to be as easy as writing a post-it note before it can achieve mainstream popularity.

      My workspaces inevitably become a mess, and revisiting a topic is difficult - you have to explicitly search to find your previous thoughts on a subject. Unlike my own brain, there are no connections being made automatically.

      I think semantic search is the solution. That's how our brain works - when thinking about something, the brain automatically finds related memories.
