## My Take

2022-07-07: I ran across a [Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/comments/vsejrx/-/if1kzxy) today where someone asked about a note note taking system and was recommended to read the book "Building a Second Brain". The book purports to explain a way to think about notes and how to organize things rather than recommend apps (or so I hope).  This morning, while looking for something to listen to while I walk I found the Art of Manliness podcast had just dropped an episode where he [interviewed Tiago Forte about the book](https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/podcast-816-building-a-second-brain/)!  So I spent my walk listening to the author talk about the book.  I was relieved to hear that he doesn't necessarily recommend any specific software and talks more about the higher-level concepts of personal knowledge management.  I was also pleased to discover that I am doing most of the things he talks about already.
