    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I began to experience a small pain in the back of my throat one spring day during my junior year of college. It gradually got worse over the next few months, and I began to visit other doctors. They all concluded there was nothing wrong with me. Yet my pain continued getting worse and worse, with no remedy in sight.

    #2 I realized that I was at a crossroads. I could take responsibility for my own health and treatment, or I would spend the rest of my life shuttleing back and forth between doctors without ever finding resolution. I took out my journal and began to write out my health history.

    #3 I began to realize that the simple act of taking notes on a computer was the tip of an iceberg. Because notes were digital, they could be shaped and directed to any purpose. I began using digital notetaking in other parts of my life.

    #4 I began taking notes on everything I was learning using a notetaking app on my computer. I took notes during meetings, on phone calls, and while doing research online. I wrote down facts gleaned from research papers that could be used in the slides we presented to clients.

      The number one reason why I was reading the summary instead of the full book was to find clear action steps for creating my second brain in one of the note-taking apps. Even though this summary provides clear insights on "THE WHAT" and a bit of "THE HOW", I am still pretty clueless on how to build it out.

    #5

    I began to see my notepad as a loyal confidant and thought partner. When I was forgetful, it always remembered. When I lost my way, it reminded me where we were going. When I felt stuck and at a loss for ideas, it suggested possibilities and pathways.
