I love using Evernote and I have been trying to find the best method to organize all the stuff I save so this video came at the perfect time. I love calling it a second brain too. I struggle with information recall sometimes but I am definitely more likely to remember categories and topics to search versus the information itself, which is one of the main reasons why I started using Evernote to begin with a few years ago. Organizing information like this gets me super excited. Thank you for the inspiration! I need to set a few hours aside to organize all my notes and notebooks now.
Wow, I almost did something similar intuitively last year, was trying to organise all UX related bookmarks by media type, tagging the topic, ROI, metrics, etc… but haven’t thought of extending it to other areas of life as well. Thank you so much for sharing that was really useful!
I didn't know I needed this. I've been documenting this in a personal level but got really out of hand, got to study Information architecture heavily just to settle this down and here you are, being amazing. Thanks!!
Thanks for this video, Vy! I've been reading too many books with bits and tidbits I want to refer back to, but was a bit lost on how to organize and track all this information, so this was super helpful and much needed! I can't wait to try it!
Hi Vy, thanks for creating this, I like how this is different to most UX videos on RUclips. I've had a look at building a Second Brain and it does seem everyone has their own way of implementing this. It would be great to see how you've set yours up.
I learned coming from doing a masters degree in UX design than bootcamp or self study lets say, that I'm spending way more time getting experience learning to deal and work with others than UX itself. Its super challenging and also frustrating as well. You have to spend so much time discussing and debating with others on your team why they are doing this particular idea.. you have people in your team that are jumping straight into solutions when the problems have not been explored enough. And there is also the fear of trying to build a very fancy never before seen solution to impress the UX jury instead of seeing what the underlying problem is in the first place. UX Is about finding a problem that exists and from there you ideate and find ways to solve a user problem or need. Apparently this is not what my school is emphasizing .. they are more into creating fancy million dollar project ideas that are super futuristic.
Hi Vy! I saw this video when you published 1 month ago and I have immediately started to use Evernote and Notion to understand them better (thank you for this video, I didn´t know about Second Brain!). I saw recently different video regarding Obsidian and I remembered that you mentioned it in this video. The Obsidian graph function could be really useful during UX research if the data are stored in a proper way. Did you use it? What do you think?

As a stickler for orderly scheduling, I find this video to be really helpful. Thank you so much for shedding light on the Second Brain concept.

Currently setting up my second brain and I really dig your point of having a blurb/note to future self. Great video 👍

Great content ! I'm happy I already practice your tips without thinking about them specific.

Alot of UX designers need to watch this video. Second brain isn't emphasized on enough.

Spot on. You just summarised what that commercial experience is all about.
Amazing
I always store my documents in OneDrive! But this sounds interesting!✌🏼 thanks!

I like this! Any thoughts on a tool like confluence?
For example I saved your clip into a folder called UX no stress tips 😅
Hehehehehe. Nice!
Are you from sweden or germany?
