The Truth About Using Apple Notes as a Second Brain
An update on my quest to become more efficient
A few weeks ago, I revealed that I had fallen hook, line, and sinker in love with Tiago Forte’s idea of a Second Brain. His book has completely transformed my approach to note-taking and personal knowledge management.
This is surprising considering that I’m still only half of the way through the book (newborn/crazy business/upcoming holiday — you name it).
However, I think one of the toughest parts of adopting the second brain methodology is finding the right tool for the meat of the job, which is note-taking.
After an admittedly short period of deliberation, I decided to go for Apple Notes, and it really has served me pretty well — even if there are a few frustrations during these early days of second brain building.
If you’re considering Apple Notes for your second brain, I’ve got some thoughts.
Why I chose Apple Notes
The battle of the note-taking app for my second brain was between two contenders: Notion and Apple Notes (I’ve long since abandoned Evernote).
