I thought I was good at taking notes... I was wrong. In this video you'll learn about how to take smart notes, build a personal knowledge base or “second brain“ with note cards or a digital notes app like Roam Research. I'll share how I got started with proper note-taking, the difference between fast and durable notes, the QUICK framework, why I use note cards first (then Roam), and how it totally changes your creative productivity. Join the #90DayNotes challenge and get simple tips for better notes! Here's the thing... what if you never had to start from scratch with your work again? Say if you're starting a new project, personal or professional? Maybe it's a creative project like a new video, podcast, or blog post? What if you had a baseline of content you could quickly access and build on? That's what you'll learn about in this video. I'll tell you about Niklas Luhmann and his Zettelkasten “slip box“, how @TiagoForte @nateliason and @MariePoulin shared their ideas with me and thousands more.
