“I am asked to apply the material in real-life situations I have never thought of.”
“I already understand, but I was impressed with how much nuance there was, like seemingly simple techniques, such as progressive summarization, and in each coaching session I got into real life situations. I like trying to apply the material, and I never thought. ”

“I like all the information and lectures going on so I can always come back if I need help or want to access a particular topic again.”
“I feel this course is very informative and I am actively taking a step back from my current project and re-evaluating how to do everything (in a good way !!!). For example, the course may be a little advanced, and I’m still finding flaws in my own unique approach (based on teaching) to PKMs, and I’m trying to address them during the next phase of this course. But I like that all the information and lectures remain, so if you need help or want to access a particular topic again, you can always come back. ”

Frequently Asked Questions
Things you should know before enrolling
What is this course about?
Building a second brain is about organizing ideas, not an end in itself, it supports creative work and gives you the confidence to work on a more ambitious and fulfilling project. It’s about taking full advantage of your knowledge potential, so it sticks and translates meaningful results in your life. It’s here today and tomorrow is more than just an “interesting insight” that will disappear.
Rather than discussing abstract concepts, we will present a hands-on approach that can be implemented incrementally, as well as some basic principles that can be applied across digital tools.
The course’s promise is “to learn how to capture, organize, and share ideas and insights using digital notes, and to support the creative progress of work in a reliable and systematic approach.”
See how the previous participants tweeted to summarize the course.
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
There are no official assumptions, but we hope that you will have some fluency in using your computer. In the examples, you need to know the basics of using Evernote.
For a quick introduction to the software, we recommend Evernote’s free quick start guide. Also, at the beginning of the course curriculum, there is a basic, brief tutorial.
I am not an entrepreneur, freelancer or executive. Is this course suitable for me?
of course.
The silos that once separated these professions have collapsed. We are all one startup.
Even the largest companies are looking for “entrepreneurs” who can lead the “internal startups”. Even the safest employees need to develop a body of knowledge to leverage in their next career move. And having secondary projects or extra income streams during these uncertain times is never harmful.
The second brain building details how to create a trusted system for collecting and organizing all the best ideas, insights, facts, citations, and studies that we have encountered. A system tested by the world’s top productivity professionals and adopted by over 1,000 students. A working system.
I can’t think of a better way to start my career earlier than starting a collection of notes that grows more complex over time. As with financial investments, investing in knowledge benefits a great deal from an early start.
Needless to say, you will learn with outstanding performers in the most ambitious and interesting areas of the world.
I’m an experienced researcher, businessman, or content creator. Is there anything to learn here?
I have found that people who “manage ideas” for their livelihood are making the most progress by taking this course. One of the reasons is that they shed light on assumptions and customs that they have never questioned. Equally important, they often help fellow learners understand that knowledge management articulates their work. That’s why social learning works so well for everyone involved.
Knowledge management is a very new field and no other program can address it as comprehensively. My life’s work has been to track the most fundamental principles down to the most practical applications and train people on how to master the ends of the spectrum.
What results do people achieve after learning this system?
Graduates of this course enjoy a range of benefits, from reducing stress and indecision to dramatically higher levels of creative confidence and reaching goals they didn’t think they were impossible to achieve. .. But I let them speak for themselves.
How is this different from GTD (Getting Things Done)?
GTD is a productivity-enhancing method created by David Allen and popularized on his bestselling Getting Things Done. In my first online course, “Get Stuff Done Like a Boss,” I teach my students how to implement this method. It has a big impact on me and my work.
The construction of the second brain is built and extended based on the GTD philosophy, not only for tasks, but for all other types of digital information that need to be tracked (notes, files, bookmarks, photos, citations and Work. It follows the same principle-keep everything in a reliable place outside your head-applies to a wider range of materials.
The courses are related, but you don’t have to take “Get things done like a boss” before building a second brain. They deal with different subjects and each stands on its own.
Here is a more comprehensive article that explains how the two methods are related. Get things done + personal knowledge management.
Why haven’t you heard so far?
This is often available.
One of the reasons is that we are relatively new. That is, the first cohort that started in January 2017. We are working hard to disseminate the information, but it is just the beginning.
The second reason is that until recently, knowledge management practices were limited to scholars and researchers. Although fields such as Personal Information Management (PIM), Personal Knowledge Management (PKM), and Digital Asset Management (DAM) have existed for decades, others couldn’t actually access them.
You don’t have to, as I read myriad academic papers and research reports in creating this course. I borrowed the best technology from these areas and combined them into an integrated system designed for everyday use by knowledge workers.
What kind of software do you recommend?
The example I show is from the popular digital note app Evernote, but every method I teach can be implemented in virtually any software. Past students are building Second Brain with apps like Microsoft OneNote, Google Keep, Apple Notes, Bear, Notion, Milanote, Arena, and Emacs.
do not worry! In addition to recommendations on which of these are suitable for you, there is a dedicated thread for each of them, where active users talk about their experiences and answer questions.
I have one strong recommendation. In other words, stick to the category of “Digital Notes” apps in Second Brain. For more details on why, see my article Digital Cases.
What if I don’t use Evernote?
None of the basic concepts I teach depend on Evernote or any other particular program to work. I’ll use Evernote as an example so that I can demonstrate a working system, rather than speak in general.
However, all examples, case studies, and templates exist exclusively in Evernote and cannot officially support other programs that we decide to use.
How long does this take?
The course is designed to take 5 weeks from start to finish. You’ll have faster access to the full curriculum from day one, but it’s difficult to quickly integrate new habits. On the other hand, if it takes more than 5 weeks, you usually get stuck in the details.
The goal is not to implement everything completely from scratch, but to have a basic working system that you can start using in your daily work. This is one reason why you can always access the curriculum. Every time you access the curriculum again, you will learn something different.
Each of the eight lecture videos takes about 15-25 minutes, and the walk-through videos take a total of 1-2 hours. The time required for exercises, discussions in online forums, and bonus material depends on how fast you want to move and how deep you want to go. However, leave about 8 hours total, or about 2 hours a week, to consume the curriculum. Adding an additional 10 hours to participate in a live call gives you a conservative estimate of about 20 hours for the course total, or 4 hours a week for 5 weeks.
The time required for implementation varies widely, but it can be done initially during the course and can be gradually improved over time as you become accustomed to new habits.
Do you have this time?
A better question is “I don’t have the time to learn it?”
The average person consumes 34 gigabytes worth of data each day. This is equivalent to 174 newspapers. They spend more than 11 hours a day, or two-thirds of their waking hours, consuming media in some way.
Can you afford to spend a lot of time-consuming information without storing it in any way?
And the truth is, if you use it intentionally, you have plenty of time.
The average Instagram user spends nearly 150 hours a year posting and scrolling photos. This is equivalent to 3 weeks of full operation. The average knowledge worker spends 30% a day searching for information. This is equivalent to 1.5 out of 5 days per week.
This course will show you how to redirect wasted time to a more productive, productive and more strategic use. You’ll find that you have already read and consumed 99% of your work and are pondering new ideas. All you need to do is change how you spend the last 1% of your time to curate and collect only the best of them.
How many blog posts and podcasts do you consume each week? How much did you learn and didn’t take action? How much time do you spend searching for notes and files? Let’s turn that wasted energy into knowledge capital.
It took over a decade of painstaking trial and error to develop this methodology, and it took a few more years to transform it into an effective training program. In this course, you will distill what you have found into the best 5 week handy program so you can learn in a fraction of the time.

Why is it so expensive?
Building the second brain is different from other online courses.
It’s not a one-off project I completed a few years ago, it stays online like a dead zombie and jumps into unsuspecting visitors. It’s a job of my life, not for the present, but for the near future.
I frequently publish major new improvements and updates. The full history of these updates can be found here. These are not just “fixes” to bring the content up to date. I regularly launch brand new units, case studies, tutorials, interviews and other resources. All of these are available to all past and future students.
I think of the Second Brain as a community of lifelong learners that I continuously support. And you get lifetime access to the community for a one-time, fixed rate!
Pricing allows you to continue to make efforts to improve and improve your course. It also ensures that everyone who registers is committed to doing the work necessary to benefit from it.
To stream this course live with corporate training, you charge $ 15,000 to $ 25,000. With an online platform, you can reach far more viewers for a fraction of the price.
How is the construction of the second brain different from other methods?
Here are some of the key differences between the second brain construction methodology and other approaches to productivity, organization, and learning.
This isn’t another way of “how to succeed”
It’s the way you can benefit from all the other ways-to collect and organize the knowledge you gain from all the other sources you learn.
This is not a monolithic system that needs to be fully implemented to get any value.
Applying one or two of the methods taught can revolutionize productivity and learning.
This method does not assume you have any specific existing knowledge or skills
You should have the most basic knowledge of how to use your computer.
This way you won’t be forced into an all-purpose box
Prepare to develop a system that meets your specific needs and goals.
This method is abstract and not theoretical
It was developed in a groove to run a real business, not in a lab or classroom. In other words, it is highly practical and useful in the real world.
This method is not a random collection of separated “tips and tricks”
It’s a comprehensive system that works in an integrated way to collect, organize, and share ideas.
This way you work hard and you won’t be forced to do more.
It teaches you how to do more with less resources, use available sources of leverage, and offload as much effort as possible into your technology.
This method is not for optimizing or perfecting yourself
It’s about optimizing external systems so you can freely imagine, create and relax.
This method does not blame the technology and the Internet
We teach you a balanced approach to using these amazing tools to enhance your creative work without distractions.
This method does not force you to work in any particular way
It’s about providing a support system so you can create value no matter how you work, and a safety net is to make sure that no details have fallen through the cracks.
The Second Brain Method combines hands-on technology skills with the big picture of how and why idea management can change your career, your business, and your life. This course focuses on practical skills, but it doesn’t stop there. It also fosters the deeper thinking and paradigm shifts needed to succeed in the information-rich era.
Can the methods you teach be implemented bit by bit, or do they all build on each other?
The honest answer is:
All the techniques I teach in the course are valuable and effective in their own right. Many students report that adopting just one of them revolutionizes their ability to manage their digital lives. You can implement it little by little in any order. And you don’t have to “boot” the entire system at once to add value.
At the same time, all the methods are linked to form an integrated system. This is called “Second Brain”. This is not just a random collection of tips and tricks. I carefully select each of the three main methods to target the key points of use for the flow of information in life.
My goal is to allow the second brain to perform minimal functions by the end of the course. Once set up and functioning in your daily life, you will be constantly informed of new insights on how to use it. The system self-improves because it can document how to improve the second brain in the second brain!
I have applied for an online course in the past and the results are mixed. How is this course different?
This is my favorite question.
I am an online course junkie. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on different courses, webinars, ebooks, and downloads, but it has been difficult to profit from many of them.
A second brain construction was designed to address the pitfalls and weaknesses observed from existing products.
Focuses not only on learning interesting concepts but also on implementing practical systems
View my live walkthrough video that actually completes each step rather than assuming you can figure it out yourself
The online community is a core part of the experience, not a side show with no one involved
Each exercise is part of the implementation process, not an academic exercise
Instead of telling me how to organize the notes and letting me choose for myself, I recommend the best method based on my experience and research
Use real-life examples and case studies rather than creating ideal scenarios
Step by step through the course with a group of fellow students, rather than dropping them on a web page to protect themselves
The core curriculum shows a standardized system that can be copied directly, but the online forum contains many alternatives
If this approach doesn’t work, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. I have no questions. The last thing I want to do is keep money for unhappy customers.
What happens in the live cohort?
Twice a year, we hold a “live cohort” of courses for all current and past students.
All former students will be automatically invited to future live cohorts as long as they are on the graduate’s mailing list.
Each live cohort consists of 10 60-minute calls delivered via the Zoom video conferencing app over 5 weeks. Each of these live sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the media library shortly after the event, in case you are unable to attend the live or want to check it later. Pre-recorded lectures are assigned for viewing at your own time before each live session, and the calls themselves are relatively flexible depending on the needs of the group.
We usually discuss the student’s current assignments, in small groups through the breakout rooms, and share relevant examples and resources. These may include supplemental material presentations, my ongoing research and learning, or new case studies.
How long can I access Tiago?
We cannot promise to reply to every message individually, but we often check in online forums to answer questions, provide feedback, and share private notes to address common issues. Or The Praxis blog regularly publishes blog posts that answer frequently asked questions.
During the live cohort, I promote video calls and feedback is available daily in the online discussion forum.
Your most important resource is your fellow learners, and we are committed to developing the best communities of online learners on earth. A discussion forum integrated directly into the course website encourages thoughtful and detailed postings that allow students to learn from each other.
What kind of industry or occupation is this suitable for?
We’ve seen the common theme of having around 25,000 participants in previous online courses and an additional 3,000 participants in live workshops and corporate training. Everyone struggles to manage the huge information flows that are unique to knowledge operations. This course was designed to focus on ways that apply equally to everyone making a living.
I can share numerous examples from work coaching and consulting with companies, and other participants can always share many of their own examples and discoveries. Another benefit of group learning!
Where did this material come from?
I draw heavily from the areas of behavioral science, cognitive psychology, design thinking, human-centered UX design, informatics, and constraint theory. However, the primary source of information is the consulting, training, and coaching experience of the best performing creative professionals inside and outside the world, across multiple industries and organizations.
Does this kind of training apply to employees of large organizations?
To do. Even the most traditional employees of the most traditional companies are now experiencing unprecedented levels of information overload.
According to the International Workplace Productivity Survey, the vast majority of knowledge workers in all industries are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information they need to manage.
An average of 62% of workers in all markets surveyed reported: “We may not be able to classify the information we need quickly enough, which can reduce our quality of work.
More information about Self Help:
Self-help or self-improvement is a self-guided improvement—economically, intellectually, or emotionally—often with a substantial psychological basis.
Many different self-help group programs exist, each with its own focus, techniques, associated beliefs, proponents and in some cases, leaders.
Concepts and terms originating in self-help culture and Twelve-Step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency have become firmly integrated in mainstream language.
Self-help often utilizes publicly available information or support groups, on the Internet as well as in person, where people in similar situations join together.
From early examples in self-driven legal practice and home-spun advice, the connotations of the word have spread and often apply particularly to education, business,
psychology and psychotherapy, commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books.
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship,
emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
