In today’s world overflowing with information, it’s no longer just about consuming knowledge - it’s about organizing it meaningfully. Whether you’re a student, professional, or lifelong learner, building a second brain a trusted external system to store, retrieve, and connect ideas is becoming more essential than ever.
How do you manage your information?
Do you prefer the feel of handwritten notes, or have you shifted to powerful digital tools like Notion, Obsidian, or Evernote? I use obsidian!
This screenshot is from my obsidian vault showing how my notes are interconnected!
Personally, I’ve found that linking notes across topics rather than keeping them in isolated silos can be a game-changer, especially in fields like healthcare, where knowledge is vast, interconnected, and constantly evolving. For example, linking a note on a rare disease to notes on relevant drugs, case studies, or even patient experiences creates a living, breathing network of insights you can build on.
In the end, it’s not just about storing information. It’s about creating a system that helps you think better, learn deeper, and act smarter.
What’s your approach? Let’s share and learn from each other!
Yeah, sure! I’ll prepare and share it here, or I can share pre-existing videos from YouTube. Before that, I would recommend you read a book called “Building a Second Brain” by Tiago Forte for more insight into this idea.
Hahaha! well, the screenshot is showing just the overall view (the graph view), I usually declutter it using tags, so yeah, it’s never been confusing, actually it will be fun to use!
