🧠 STEP 22: BUILD A “SECOND BRAIN”

📚 Book: Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte

Information is useless if it’s not organised and retrieved at the right moment.

Actions:

🧱 Framework: PARA (Projects / Areas / Resources / Archives)

How to Stay Ahead:

📚 Book: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind by Vishen Lakhiani

Core Idea:
In a world of automation, your values are your edge.
