Develop a Second Brain
summary
Claim: ineffective internal knowledge costs big companies $31 billion lost per year. Workflow prescribes CODE — Capture, Organize, Distill, Express — and PARA for structure (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive). Practical tools and habits: Telegram channels for quick capture, Chrome profiles and Google Sheets synced to an app built with AppSheet to simplify mobile entry. Metrics and habits: tech roles see >100 GB/day of info exposure, 220 travel days last year, daily capture, weekly cleanup, monthly reviews — system is modular and proven in practice.
