• Human capital includes “the knowledge and the knowhow embodied in humans—their education, their experience, their wisdom, their skills, their relationships, their common sense, their intuition.”

• The possibility of such a technological marvel shined like a beacon for the future, promising to liberate knowledge from dusty old books and make it universally accessible and useful.

• an external tool has become an extension of your mind.

• call this approach the “slow burn”—allowing bits of thought matter to slowly simmer like a delicious pot of stew brewing on the stove.

• Having a Second Brain where lots of ideas can be permanently saved for the long term turns the passage of time into your friend, instead of your enemy.

• Most important of all, don’t get caught in the trap of perfectionism: insisting that you have to have the “perfect” app with a precise set of features before you take a single note. It’s not about having the perfect tools—it’s about having a reliable set of tools you can depend on, knowing you can always change them later.

• “CODE”—Capture; Organize; Distill; Express.
• CODE: Capture, Organize,Distill, Express

• Capture: Keep What Resonates

• Instead of jumping at every new headline and notification, we can choose to consume information that adds value to our lives and consciously let go of the rest.

• techniques that you can implement today that will begin to yield benefits tomorrow

• A garden is only as good as its seeds,

• Lawyers keep “case files” with details from past cases they might want to refer to in the future.

• Knowledge assets can come from either the external world or your inner thoughts.
• external knowledge includes： 1.highlight 2.quotes 3.bookmarks and favorites 4.vioce memos 5.meeting notes 6.images 7.takeaways：lessons

• As you start collecting this material from the outer world, it often sparks new ideas and realizations in your inner world. You can capture those thoughts too!
• inner knowledge： 1.stories：from self or others 2.insight：realizations 3.memories 4.reflections：personal thoughts from diary 5.musings： shower ideas pop into the head

• Some people favor inner sources of knowledge, some people are biased toward the outer world, but most people are somewhere in between.

• it’s important to start small and get your feet wet before diving into the deep end.

• What Not to Keep
• 1.sensitive information 2.special format file 3.large files 4.need collaboration

• We are already surrounded by algorithms that feed us only what we already believe and social networks that continually reinforce what we already think.

• When you come across an online article or blog post you want to read, save it to a “read later” app, which is like a digital magazine rack of everything you want to read (or watch or listen to) at some point. Whenever you have some free time (such as on breaks or in the evening after work), scroll through the articles you’ve saved and pick one to read.
• make sure don’t ever make “read later” become “read never”

• Thinking doesn’t just produce writing; writing also enriches thinking.

• embark on this journey

• It’s about squeezing more juice out of the fruit of life

• I eventually named this organizing system PARA,* which stands for the four main categories of information in our lives: Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives.
• Organize method： PARA Projects Areas Resources Archives

• One of the biggest temptations with organizing is to get too perfectionistic, treating the process of organizing as an end in itself. There is something inherently satisfying about order, and it’s easy to stop there instead of going on to develop and share our knowledge.
• 这确实是我的问题！

• Projects: Short-term efforts in your work or life that you’re working on now. Areas: Long-term responsibilities you want to manage over time. Resources: Topics or interests that may be useful in the future. Archives: Inactive items from the other three categories.

• don’t make organizing your Second Brain into yet another heavy obligation

• Paradoxically, the more notes they collect, the less discoverable they become!

• When it comes to notetaking for work, less is more.

• A helpful rule of thumb is that each layer of highlighting should include no more than 10–20 percent of the previous layer. If you save a series of excerpts from a book amounting to five hundred words, the bolded second layer should include no more than one hundred words, and highlighted third layer no more than twenty. This isn’t an exact science, but if you find yourself highlighting everything, this rule should give you pause.

• When the opportunity arrives to do our best work, it’s not the time to start reading books and doing research. You need that research to already be done.

• We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and it’s smart to build on the thinking they’ve done rather than try to reinvent the wheel.

• Those four retrieval methods are: Search Browsing Tags Serendipity

• These are the cornerstones of your work on which everything else is built, but you can’t usually know which notes are cornerstones up front

• We all stand on the shoulders of our predecessors. No one creates anything out of a pure void.

• The first two steps of CODE, Capture and Organize, make up divergence. They are about gathering seeds of imagination carried on the wind and storing them in a secure place. This is where you research, explore, and add ideas. The final two steps, Distill and Express, are about convergence. They help us shut the door to new ideas and begin constructing something new out of the knowledge building blocks we’ve assembled.

• By dropping or reducing or postponing the least important parts, we can unblock ourselves and move forward even when time is scarce.

• we identified the most outlandish of our plans and decided to save those for a later stage.
• keep the essential details, save the interesting thoughts.

• building a Hemingway Bridge to the next time you can work on it

• not only do we waste precious time, but we also sabotage our momentum

• Project Checklists: Ensure you start and finish your projects in a consistent way, making use of past work. Weekly and Monthly Reviews: Periodically review your work and life and decide if you want to change anything. Noticing Habits: Notice small opportunities to edit, highlight, or move notes to make them more discoverable for your future self.

• Here’s my own checklist: Capture my current thinking on the project. Review folders (or tags) that might contain relevant notes. Search for related terms across all folders. Move (or tag) relevant notes to the project folder. Create an outline of collected notes and plan the project.

• the minimum results

• It takes a certain lens to see each of these documents and files not as disposable, but as tangible by-products of quality thinking

• Allen recommends using a Weekly Review to write down any new to-dos, review your active projects, and decide on priorities for the upcoming week.
