Everyones running around building a second brain, but are forgetting to use their minds.
What’s wrong with wanting to build a second brain? (you say)
You browse millions of things (but don't remember a single one). They want you to build a second-brain, to recall things instantly, using digital tools to store things for future reference.
Which is great for productivity. But really shitty for creativity.

Your most valuable thinking skill is understanding how and where to think.
It begins with recognizing the difference between your brain and your mind.
Your brain consumes.
Your mind creates.
Your brain is a lazy ass monster, that voraciously consumes anything it gets its hands on.
And then it pushes it into your muscles, and codifies things into habits. Good or bad.
It loves to be distracted and works without thought. It’s the reason why you doom scroll.

Everyone wants to do something meaningful with their life.
But we're constantly being overwhelmed with what to think, or spend our energy on other peoples hyper-productivity.
We just don't know where to start.
Here's why and what to do instead.
🧵👇🏽
The why:
1. We don’t realize our potential, and seek transient feel goods. 2. We look to other voices to influence who we should become. Voices that don't know us. 3. We’re not living in the real world, only scrolling there. 4. We don’t think our own thoughts.
