New Year, New Second Brain?

A new year is at hand! As the autumn ended and the winter arrived, I’ve continued using my three biggest productivity tools in tandem with one another: my bullet journal, second brain, and pocket notebook (which I will refer to here as a memo book to distinguish it from a “full-sized” notebook).

Bullet Journal & Second Brain – Making Them Work Together

The Bullet Journal: The Beginning of My Journey It was around January of 2022 when I really paid attention to the Bullet Journal. It seemed like a tremendous tool to bolster my personal productivity and keep my life organized. What’s so unusual is that I had heard about the system in passing a few years…
