Day 30: Building a 2nd Brain
Wow, I’ve been at this a month already – I’m still getting used to thinking the way I’ve been working toward. That being: “Information is only useful when it’s actionable.” I’m not as good at catching myself as I’d like, but I’ve found I don’t spend so much time cruising YouTube endlessly. The process of…

Day 26: Building a 2nd Brain
Monday I was making notes on a project at work using my laptop. A coworker commented as I putting in my notes – wondering what I was doing. I gave him a quick rundown and he thought it was an interesting idea. There really hasn’t been a huge change throughout this process – at least…

Day 21: Building a 2nd Brain
Still working through the process, I really need to offload stuff to Instapaper – but I haven’t done a ton of article reading.

Day 18: Building a 2nd Brain
Another day – another day. I’m happy to be breathing. I hit the gym yesterday, I didn’t really workout least week. I didn’t think much about it until this morning. My mid-back is becoming sore AF. I think it was the medicine ball carries I did yesterday. I was going to do waiter carries, but…

I also started going through my work computer and…

Day 9: Building a 2nd Brain
Been a couple of days since I updated the blog, but this challenge has been more slow going – I haven’t had anything really big happening. I ended up buying the book Building a 2nd Brain by Tiago Forte and I’ve started listening to it. There hasn’t been anything earth shattering, but it does confirm…

Day 6: Building a 2nd Brain
Yesterday was pretty uneventful, spent some time as a family and then came home before it got too hot outside. Welcome to Summer. As far as cataloging information, I took some notes on some “100” workouts from Athlean-X on YouTube. I’m going to try some of the workouts after my de-load week this week. Making…

Day 5: Building a 2nd Brain
It was a good workout today, again writing my workouts down prior to going to the gym is the way to go. I commit to it before hand and it gets done. Shit I should do that for getting out of bed and shit in the morning. I keep telling myself I’m going to get…
