Introduction

I’ve been asked several times which apps I recommend and how to get started building a second brain.

Month ago I started to reflect my own productivity ‘journey’ and carefully thought that which “tips/hacks” had been the most beneficial during years. Year after year since time has a final word.

But the (actually third…) Secret) is ‘just’ to remember them everyday!

Imagination Exercise (few minutes)
