This goes hand-in-hand with a concept called Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). The practice of capturing and processing ideas, be them personal or professional, and cultivating them to produce creative work. And we know how creativity is at all walks of our lives.
What's really inspiring about the idea of a Second Brain is the digital approach it encompasses. The way that it organizes our whole digital ecosystem of devices, apps, notes, tasks, and every single digital element in your life. Not just that, it actually connects all of them for a greater efficient output. The one that matters most to you, and you will never skip a beat and nothing will fall between the cracks.
If 7 Habits of Effective People is the mindset, then B.A.S.B is the approach to taking your life and identity to the next level.
