Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them. Your Second Brain is for holding ideas, not hoarding them. Remember: You can’t iterate on unrealized ideas.

The Paradox of Daily Content Creation: You have to believe what you share provides more value than the time and effort it takes to create. But you also have to accept people might not value what you create as much as you do.

How to be productive, inverted: • Multitask • Avoid breaks • Allow interruptions • Say yes to everything • Do everything yourself • Check email notifications Being productive is simply doing the opposite of these.

Getting things done is not a result. It’s a byproduct. Avoid productivity hacks. Instead, master daily habits that make getting things done inevitable.

Following good advice is often limited to the available time we have. The challenge, then, isn’t following good advice but deciding the extent to follow to achieve the desired result.

I have a rule for creating content: "Turn up. Turn down. But never turn off." Turn up when feeling inspired. Turn down when feeling demotivated. But no matter what, don't lose momentum. "Turn up. Turn down. But never turn off."

I use Notion AI to help me decide whether to read long-form articles. How? I clip an article I might want to read later into Notion. Then, I ask Notion to summarize the article. If I see a sentence I like, I read the article. Simple but effective.

Freedom is one of my favorite subscriptions. I use it to: • Block time-wasting websites before bed • Prevent me from leaving deep work • Help make productivity a habit And the best part? It costs me less than $3.50 a month.

Having a digital commonplace book is a must-have. Here’s how to get started: • After reading a book, move your notes and highlights to a Notion page • Highlight the big ideas • Then, with each revision, bold the best of the best highlights Hope that helps.

How to Repurchase Your Time: • Determine low-value tasks that suck your energy • Transfer those tasks to someone who enjoys them • Fill that extra time with high-value tasks that light you up and make you more money. Audit. Transfer. Fill. Repeat.

Three kinds of tasks help us excel at work: • Tasks we love • Tasks we excel at • Tasks that add the highest value That's it.
