I'm spending the next 100 days creating visual summaries of great productivity books.

I'm starting with Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte.

This is a visual of his PARA system. Here's how I made it.

👇

I started with an illustration I bought online.

I made a few edits, and displayed one letter of PARA per folder.

👇

I looked back at the notes I took in @thunknotes.

This passage about the weekly review really stood out.

This simple set of questions was clear and actionable.

I added it to the visual.

👇

@thunknotes Things seemed much more clear, but I still felt like the visual needed more.

👇

@thunknotes I tried adding some color.

I noticed something about the arrow looked weird. The colors seemed wrong.

Here's how I fixed it.

👇

@thunknotes I sorted the colors to their natural order in the rainbow.

I realized I could order these from hot (most actionable) to cold (least actionable).

Nice.

@thunknotes Once I'm finished I'll be releasing a full visual summary of @fortelabs' Building a Second Brain on the @thunknotes blog.

I'm really excited to share it.

Here's how you can get it:
