Productivity expert Tiago Forte lays out a strategy for capturing useful tidbits from the masses of information we come across daily and explains how to put those tidbits to productive use.

We are living in an age of information overload.

From the moment we wake up to when we go to sleep, we are inundated with more facts and images than we could ever possibly remember.

This excess of information, combined with the sense that we should be storing and using it more effectively, creates anxiety.

Tiago Forte is an award-winning expert in productivity and personal knowledge management (PKM).

In Building a Second Brain, Forte explains how we can use note-taking technology to create a well-organized archive, or 'second brain,' that can then be used to manage our day-to-day lives and make our creative dreams a reality.
