Building a second brain (for writing)

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us!


There's a lot of sweary words in this one, headphones in!

Inger brought a sword to work and Jason is back on the mats at
Brazillian Ju Jitsu (BJJ) so it's business as usual at On The
Reg. Big shout out to Jason's wife Cath, who has nearly finished
her course, which somehow leads to a long discussion of Jason's
first experience of removing unwanted body hair.

In other words, the usual catch up, but if you want to skip it,
go straight to 24:32, where Siobhan calls in on Speakpipe
to ask Inger if she's read 'How to take smart notes' by Sonke
Ahrens.

Siobhan's call is a great segue into Inger and Jason's
discussion, starting at 28:58, about 'Building a Second
Brain: a proven method to organise your digital life and unlock
your creative potential' by Tiago Forte of Forte Labs. Inger
LOVED this book and spends an hour telling Jason all about it,
which caused Jason to spend yet more money on books and
software.

There's a lot of talk about the relative merits of (and how to
integrate) Pocket, Evernote, Obsidian, Roam Research,
