ULTIMATE Second Brain Notion Template

Welcome to our ULTIMATE Second Brain Notion Template!

Do you ever feel information overload? Notion can be the perfect tool to keep track of all of your knowledge in one organized place! This template is inspired by Tiago Forte's book "Building a Second Brain" and we believe that Notion is the BEST place to apply these concepts!

You might wonder, what is a Second Brain?

• A place outside of your own mind where you can keep your information and notes in an organized way.
• Provides a way to pull out knowledge and information immediately when you need it!
• Decreases the mental burden of constantly thinking about various topics, life areas, projects, and more. You can feel confident it is stored correctly inside of your "Second Brain".

What is different between "Standard" & "+ Tasks" version?

The "Standard" version only includes notes and the "+ Tasks" version has both notes and tasks. If you only want a note management system, choose "Standard"! If you want both note and task management, choose "+ Tasks." Watch both template tours to see the difference and make the right choice!

What is included in the "Standard" Version?

• Quick Add Note Button: Add a note with a click of a button. This is essential for quick capture of notes while you're on the go.
• Notes Inbox: All notes that are not in folders go to the inbox. This is a convenient way to batch-organize your notes later when you have time.
• PARA Method Folder System: The Folder organization system we used is called the PARA Method. It includes projects (short-term actions in your work or life), areas (long-term responsibilities to manage), resources (Useful topics in the future), and archives (Inactive items from the other three categories)
• Mobile View: Notes are the best when taken spontaneously and often on the go! We included a mobile view so it's easy and convenient to access this template through your phone.
• Custom Database Templates: Each PARA folder type has a dedicated database template so that you can plan your projects, areas, and resources directly in your folder. You can also review it once you decide to move it to the archive or when it is completed. Each review also has a database template for you to use as a guideline.
• Monthly & Weekly Review: Every month and week, we provide a way to review all of your notes and folders and assess what needs to be organized. This is the perfect time to batch organize so you're not constantly organizing your notes.
• View All Notes: When viewing all notes regardless of the folder, you can check them in different custom filters that we designed for you to find new connections between your notes!

What is included in the "+ Tasks" Version?

• Everything in the Standard Version!
• Quick Add Task Button: Add your tasks with a click of button wherever and whenever you need to!
• Task Database: Connects with your folders so you can seamlessly go from knowledge to task management.
• Task Overview Page: See how many tasks you completed in the month and get a view of your tasks in a kanban board.
