Information.
Genealogists and family historians are swimming in it all.of.the.time. You have many ways of managing all of that info you consume. What if I told you that you probably have not even begun to wrangle it all as best as you could? Strong words, eh?
With strong words come strong conviction.
You see, I have recently purchased the book “Building a Second Brain” by Tiago Forte and I’m so excited!
What even is a “Second Brain” you ask?
A “Second Brain” is a personal knowledge ecosystem you build to capture info you consume. You build it purposefully with a goal of organizing that information, understanding that info, with intention to make it easier to re-share and present it to the world.
And isn’t that what we do with our interests in genealogy and family history? From our family tree work to the way we organize our family photos & artifacts, there are many ways we can benefit. I’ve implemented a Second Brain system in the past year and cannot speak highly enough of it.!
If you would like to learn more about the concept, and gain insight into how it can help you with your organization, I welcome you to follow along with me as I read Tiago’s book and share my key takeaways. I’ll share some insights on how what I learn can be relevant for you as a genealogist/family historian.
