1/ I’m at a major roadblock both in writing the book, and developing a 30m talk: what is the actual need that is solved by bldg a second brain (I.e. external knowledge mgmt system)?

2/ The testimonials are glowing, offering many benefits having such a system provides. But that is not exactly the same as a need. What is the current pain that having a second brain relieves?

3/ It’s not any of the pains addressed by GTD (open loops taking up bandwidth, things falling through cracks, not knowing what to do next) because BASB is for non-actionable info. It’s important, not urgent stuff

4/ It’s also not classic info overload pains, because in a way I’m asking you to expand the scope of info you manage. It gets worse before it gets better, which isn’t a great selling point

5/ Closest I can get is pains pretty high on Maslow’d hierarchy: need to fulfill creative potential, to develop ideas to fruition, to manage complex projects, to understand oneself. But those are hard to sell ppl on

I think it’s cultivating the ability to care more actually. Memory is caring.

Hmm, I like this. Conservation of caring, so caring can be deployed more meaningfully.

Yes, capture is a more efficient substitute for limited caring bandwidth in the moment. Save for later caring

Writing is the opposite of capturing. It is letting go possessive caring. Not the same as not caring but no longer attached to the fate of a thought or idea. If you love an idea set it free or something

Yes definitely. As soon as an idea makes an appearance in a piece of public writing, I can delete it. Its destiny is fulfilled. Like an inventory system actually. Best inventory is no inventory

Yeah this is the challenge for me too. I’m trying to get all the stuff in my head out so I can think new thoughts and feel new feelings

Let go of your baggage by storing it in temperature-controlled, hermetically sealed containers with 24/7 security :)
