By constantly saving packets of knowledge in a format that our future self can easily consume, we follow a “pay it forward” strategy that we get to benefit from in the future!

Setting information that we find interesting, or could be helpful later on is a helpful insight. I cannot tell you the amount of times that I have ended up reading something longer-formed, or mindlessly scrolled because at the time it seemed like a more interesting thing. This idea of even if something provoked the slightest amount of curiosity and to pay it forward later.. is brilliant.

But as you continually curate and save pieces of content, review and summarize them, create a series of intermediate packets, and then recycle them back into your second brain, you’ll start to realize that there is no such thing as a finished product.

Proposing half-hatched ideas; is better than not proposing ideas at all. Right?

• Your second brain becomes like a mirror, reflecting back to you who you think you are, who you want to be, and who you could become.

We have to externalize the amount of information that we engage with in this day-and-age of information saturation. Just to have a breeding ground of re-conceptualized/ cross-pollinated idea... this mirror (our second brain) has infinite potential. It just comes down to our methodologies of expanding on these thoughts/concepts that we would like to further explore.
