Let’s now take a look at a potential Second Brain in Microsoft 365. I have included 5 of the most used apps for building Second Brains in Microsoft 365. This would open up a lot of opportunities for us, and explains the potential benefits above.

Imagine now having a Second Brain that would be dedicated to keep track of our information, and serve it to us at the right time so we could take action much more frictionlessly. there's a risk that it won't that easily find access to the required creativity and authenticity. Our brains, not having evolved for managing digital information, are put under a lot of strain to keep on delivering quality output (that will have the desired effect of creating trust and confidence, make sales, etc). If the brain at the same has been assigned to keep track of deadlines and task due dates, recall information that you’ve received in the past, etc. As knowledge workers we use information to produce our output (such as presentations, social media posts, emails, reports, as well as larger output like movies, books, courses, etc). Well, the answer lies in the conditions for knowledge workers in today’s world. You might think “How would it even be possible to gain so much value from a Second Brain?”

Reduce your feelings of information overload.

More reliable on fulfilling on your commitments.

Become more action-based with your knowledge.

Have a more relaxed and balanced First Brain.

Having a digital Second Brain would allow you to: And you have probably tried out a lot of ways yourself for storing your information externally (post-it:s, notebooks, etc.). An example of that is the practice of commonplace books that has been used widely in human history. Of course, the idea of externalizing one's information is nothing new for us humans, as our brains have not evolved around the need to store and retrieve abstract knowledge. Another way to put it is that it’s a system for personal information management that exists outside of your own head.

In short, having a Second Brain amounts to using information technology to allow your First Brain to function at its best. Through his book " Building a Second Brain" Tiago Forte has helped many to understand the value of building a second brain for organizing one's digital life and to unlock one's creative potential. The idea of having a Second Brain has caught on among knowledge workers the past years, in particular in the US.
