So much for quitting my phone 🫣. More on that another time! Big thanks to Milanote for sponsoring this video! Check em outtttt: milanote.com/mattdavella 🤘
my name is mila (pronounced, however: mee-la), and i remember discovering this app for the first time a couple months ago and i was overjoyed! though i didn't really end up using it much (i'm more of an apple notes person), but i still found it pretty good!
When I takes notes like this I usually end up not enjoying the present thing I’m doing. It becomes more about saving this thing for my future self that may find it useful 🤷♂️
For me I have to separate the want for it to be organised and the want to have the reference for later. I worry so much about getting it organised right that I get stressed out about it and don't record anything. I think it you focus on things being collected at all over it being perfect and it can become more rewarding
@@richardgreen8569 absolutely right man ...but taking notes and organising about life should be fun and important. you should find a way in which you can do so.
PARA Projects: store things you are actively working on (ex: office reno, upcoming trip to Europe) Areas: store things of responsibility in your life (ex: vehicles, taxes) Resources: store things like book notes and inspirations Archives: store things that are no longer needed, but might be useful in the future
Hey guys, this PARA dont work in real life LOL. i faced lots of issues with it . I finally moved to tag system which is more efficient than the folders. Eg: meeting comes under AREAS , but it also relates to PROJECT. We cannot keep duplicate files of meeting in both AREA and PROJECTS . We have many such things which causes friction between AREAS and PROJECTS. Its a complete messup with PARA method
I think it is less a problem with para and more with the categories you are using in area. My understanding (may be wrong) Meetings should not be an area. Meeting notes go into the related project or area. If the notes are not just specific to the project the can be an area or resource and reference by the project.
"there's something to be said about sticking with the basics & just doing the work." - this is so important as i've also recently found myself overwhelmed by the amount & popularity of different tools. lately, i've been building an essentials list of sort which are the things i live with & by, without the need to waste time looking for something else. thank you for this video!
Rearranging my notes folders into exotic structures that make no sense by tomorrow is my favourite form of procrastination. It also helps me convince myself that my life is under control having gorged on a box of crispy creme donuts.
The exact problem I have. When you reorganize all this stuff, you feel like you are doing something. But in reality you are just procrastinating. There is a fine line between organizing notes and taking it up as a full time procrastination hobby - something you'll only realize after you've spent a lot of time organize. Hope you don't fall into that
@@Siva_avis1how is it procrastinating? it might not be as helpful as u hoped it would be but procrastination is a completely different concept isnt it?
@@RKanth54 whats procrastination? Delaying doing something. What soon happens is that you get caught up in organizing your life that it becomes your part time hobby. And when it is time to work, you end up organizing files. Different people react differently, and this is just my experience. Need not be the same for all. :-)
Usually I'm inspired/slightly intimidated by your videos, but this might be the first time I've ever thought "wow, I' beat Matt to the punch" 😂 My notes app is an ~*organized masterpiece*~ with everything from recipes and travel plans to pre/during/post session therapy notes and a list of people I know who are pregnant and their due dates lol. It's SO helpful and easy to stay consistent once you make a habit of it.
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
I've seen like 3 different videos on Tiago's method specifically and countless others on using every app imaginable for different types of media and THIS IS THE ONE!!! Immediately went into my Apple Notes and started organizing 10 years worth of ideas.
One of the best videos on RUclips for this viewer. You introduced me to Tiago, Milanote, and Readwise, over a much enjoyable quarter of an hour, with a chuckle or two along the way. Brilliant. Thank you. Truly.
I created a second brain last year and it made finding things so much easier, both at home and professionally. I use Evernote as my storage and Pocket as my "read later" app. These in combination with my second brain have been life changing.
@@smsdelux I keep them separated. I use pocket for when I have time to read and a lot of it (80%?) is for entertainment or just general interest articles. If I find something that I want to keep and put into my Evernote I move it at that time.
Best review: The content of the book is: 1. make notes 2. organize files in projects, areas, resources and archives (para) 3. start generating output based on your notes. That is not worth more than a blog post post Getting Things Done. The rest of the book is filler material in the form of anecdotes and it is hard to find any actionable content because of all the fluff. The bonus chapter advertised in the TOC is only provided as a PDF, you are forced to provide your E-Mail address, before getting an E-Mail with the link.
Matt - Excellent video. I offer the following ideas and suggestions. #1 - PARA - I consider Tiago Forte to be a professional when it comes to productivity systems. The rest of us are amateurs. No matter how well-conceived the PARA system is, I don’t think it is a good choice for us amateurs. Why? Because there is little to no basis for the names of the folders that materialize. They are commonly concepts (maybe even abstractions) that were important at the time they were created, but which can be forgotten a couple months / couple years down the road. Consequently, it is commonly challenging for amateurs to remember what folder they put a note in. - - - I highly recommend that most people adopt a folder structure in which the names of the folders are objects. Examples are Art, Education, Equipment, Financial, Food, Medical, Politics, Products, Religion, Science, Shopping, and Utilities. #2 - Tags - Every note organization system needs to define the basis for the folder structure and the basis for the tag structure. The PARA system does the former, but your system doesn’t use tags. You will benefit greatly by determining how to incorporate tags into to your system. I view a Tag as information “about” a Note, not the content of the Note. They are commonly called “Meta” data. Here are a couple example of Tag structures: * PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives). * Note Type (Email, Invoice, Article, Instructions, Map, MeetingNote, Picture, ProblemLog, Receipt). * Your Roles (Son, Spouse, Father, Engineer). Of course, one of the great features of Tags is that a Note can have multiple Tags. It’s like putting a piece of paper in multiple manila folders at the same time. #3 - Smart Folders - I have found this Apple Notes function to be very helpful for finding Notes. A user can specify a variety of criteria with which the app will produce a list of Notes that meet the criteria. One that I use almost every day is a Smart Folder that lists all Notes I edited in the last 2 days. #4 - Apple Notes - Use it. Avoid 3rd party apps. - - - There are a couple disadvantages of 3rd party apps. While they increase productivity, they also increase complexity, more than most users need. Secondly, a 3rd party app may be developed by a company that may not even exist in a couple years. - - - Also, in the last 2-3 years, Apple has released new versions of Apple Notes with significant functional enhancements. A good example is the “Scan Text” function. When reading a book/article, it is an easy matter for a user to scan text with his/her iPhone directly into Apple Notes. This is a function of the “Read Wise” 3rd party app that Tiago mentioned.
Oh god! This synchronicity is crazy! I litterally trying to learn anything to improve my memory also to build track to understand things in the second brain so I would never forget them !
"How to improve your memory" is literally a question that haunted me all my student life. I make a thousand notes in the phone, on a piece of paper and generally everywhere until I created complete chaos in my life Don't repeat it!
I bought Tiago’s book the same week of its release after consuming his YT content and have yet to implement it. Not a fault of his, bc his system makes so much sense, it’s just always seemed like a daunting task. But something about you actually documenting that process and outlining the time it took, the scares you had, and the silly things you kept over the years just made it more relatable and gave me a vision of what a starting point looks like. I especially admire your declaration of not switching your notes app and getting his input of working from the bottom-up until it breaks before “upgrading” bc I’m so guilty of being sucked into trying the newest tech in hopes it’ll solve the clutter in my brain. Thank you Matt!! And kudos to you to putting in the work to make sure you’re a supportive partner, wish y’all the best!
I get the same way so I started fresh and moved everything that existed into my archive folder. Then, whenever I had free time in the evening, I slowly added back anything relevant into the PARA structure. Might help jumpstart your journey!
I need to say that for me it’s quite difficult to stay consistent and yes .. the fact of having a lot of apps that proposes organizing (Evernote, notion, apple notes and so on) sometimes causes a mess on our heads .. I have a lot of difficulty on getting out of physical notes .. but even with them I get lost in few days .. indeed the consistency is one thing that needs to be solved first
What worked the best for me is separating the apps for each life context. For example, my study notes are taken in Notion, because I prefere to use it on the web. For my daily work I take notes on my tablet with Samsung notes. For my therapy sessions and take notes on the tablet too. On RUclips I use the watch later to help me manage my watch time and if I want to save a video to my future self, I send a message to myself on WhatsApp
I know I’m late to commenting - I have this same (huge) problem! I am watching this video along side others to try and solve my issue. Im a multi- system user, I use the PARA system and flip flop with my app of choice from Notion to GoodNotes to nothing. My only advice to myself is not reduce the apps, but simplify and figure out workflow. Account for the way I use technology and have a “recovery” plan so it’s easier to organize after the gaps. I feel your pain!
It's nice that RUclips recommended your video after I finished Tiago's PARA series, it helped me to see that we're actually in the same boat (except I don't have bicep as big as you!). I will pull myself together to clear my 1,400+ notes. One point to add, you can highlight anything on your Safari, right-click> share > Note > select where you want to save it, it will create a new note (or add to an existing note) with a link to the page. I try as much as possible to stick with Apple's stock productivity apps such as Notes and Reminder, bcs I know however the world is changing, and the stock app will always be there (for free too). And it's encouraging to see that they're involved with every iOS/iPadOS/MacOS update while remaining simple enough to use. That sense of stability is important to me so that I can deal with the shortfall of their apps.
I love this technique! I do something similar. I have a “MIND” folder that’s split into “THOUGHTS” and “IDEAS”.It’s helped me to save the thought for a future journal, or the idea for a future project!
I really enjoyed the sharing from 13:48. "The structure of your notes should match the structure of your life because the purpose of notes is to support and enhance your life." These are very profound words. Thanks for sharing the nice interview with decent editing.
I’m impressed that how all using and recommending apps like notion, good notes, etc. you on the other hand used simple apple notes and used it so efficiently, by giving a simple answer about how not ones organising is not dependent on app on the market it’s about you how you manage it
Seems we all are struggling and scratching the at same questions. A few weeks ago I was rearranging my Notes using PARA method, after watching a dozen of videos about 2nd brain. At some point, I thought that was too much for me and saw Matt's video about Apple Notes. That sounded so simple, minimalist and more healthy that I just copied the structure and lived my life happy haha. Now, Matt brings the PARA to your own system. The conclusion for me is: no one knows the way, the answers... we're all searching mechanisms to find solutions that fits our life. To live is to try out. And that's beautiful :)
I love your comments, so do I, always overwhelmed by the new different apps. But after watching Matt’s video, the essence of taking note is not about learning new - fancy apps- it’s about living my life more organized, simple, and happy. I also decided to use Apple Notes mostly.
This may sound weird but I legit write all my notes about everything on 1 note with headings and emojis to separate things, everythings there like a mini vision board and it's a great reminder of the bigger picture/goals when doing day to day tasks
I have heard the pitch of "Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain" multiple times before (Ali Abdaal and Thomas Frank come to mind). But, I always perceived it as something that I would do if I had a different job. Well, Matt, you've managed to paint it in a different light, and now I think I'm going to try it. Well done!
I've been customizing my own system off of your old Simple Productivity system, and it's hilarious how similar our systems have become once again!

This remembers me of the 6th episode of the Extrapolations, where the main character (young man with kind of neural health problems) has started to forgot everything, so he has put all of his memories into a cloud service. But how the time passed, he was strugling with the payments for this cloud service to store all of his memories and at one moment he lost all of them, because of some technical problems on the cloud provider side.
Been using milanote since last year and really changed my life!!!! I'm a singer/songwriter who also happens to love ideation and writing+directing. A few months ago, we shot a music video for my husband and the film project template helped the whole team a lot to have a space we can update one another and put every detail we need to take note of. The team started using the app as well and they're all pros here in the Philippines!!!
Tiago is the man. I'm surprised you didn't mention Notion and how Thomas Frank adapted Tiago's PARA model. I know you've shared a video where you chatted with him a few years ago, but he has since fallen down a Notion well and hasn't climbed out since. It's freaking awesome to see what he's built.
There's something so simple and satisfying about Matt's videos. He's not talking about groundbreaking stuff (there is a MOUNTAIN of content out there about this), but the way he talks about it is just very simple, relatable, and enjoyable.
I think para is nice for organizing files, but not for notes. My notes are not only about projects and areas, but also about stuff I learn. If I put this all in a “Self development” or “Learning” area, it becomes an overloaded mess real quick. On the flip side if you try to add too much structure to study notes, you become too focused on organization and less on studying. I found zettelkasten + obsidian to be a nice minimalist balance between effort of organization and result.
I agree, I have bunch of notes/quotes from books I've read or study notes that just doesn't fall into any of those categories. I also found digital notes don't stick with me as well as hand written notes. Is the zettelkasten method working well for you?
Surprised to see this video is about BASB! Glad I checked it out. 💯% stick with your notes app until you reach a point where you long for it to do something else. Simplicity is key. Its about getting your work done and not having to think too much about maintaining the system. And the read-later app is great because you'll collect so much content initially and then revisit them wondering why you captured it in the first place. This is a great filter that informs you about what you really value.
Love Tiago Forte and his book is fantastic. Setting up PARA on Google Drive, Notion and my computer has been such a game changer for me. I always know where to find things now and no longer feel overwhelmed by all my digital files and notes. His Inbox Zero set up is also a game changer.
Matt, please make a video about your life in Australia, did you guys are still thinking about living in both countries or only there? plus I wish to see a house tour (we saw it empty but now it looks like you finished renovating and decorating).
Like Tiago said, we all try to organize our notes into databases that look sophisticated and aesthetic, but we do not think about creating a system that work. Amazing video, going to implement this in my life this week - 30 hours of searching and sorting sh*t incoming 💩
Really great summary. I've tried the PARA system with Notion and it always becomes quickly overwhelming. Applying it to Notes is a better idea. I'm also a late adopter to all the automation tools, but slowing integrating them into my workflow has made an enormous difference.
I watched this video a year ago. Read the Tiago book. Started to slowly convert all my digital space into a system. It is hard, really hard to set it up. But once I did it, this removes so much anxiety from my life. I am still only half way through through organising it.
So happy to see that im onto something once. With so much to remember and organizing my personal life and managing our family life my calendar is where most of my information goes. Not even bothered anymore to clutter up my mind with everything as I'll forget it anyways. Takes getting used to but it takes so much stress away from the feeling of "am I missing something" and getting rid of some of the anxiety that comes with it. Will try to implement this method to my information-pool too!
I love the counterintuitive approach of outsourcing memory to machines. It's a practical way to free up your mental energy for more creative and strategic thinking
I use Safari’s built in “read later” list. I suspect it’s a lot like Reader. Also you can highlight parts of webpages and make a “quick note” in apple notes. (If you’re on that eco system using its default tools)
I had shocking problems with memory and simple data retention. Names of people, numerical being jumbled, all sorts. I also struggled with motivation and discipline. Turns out I have ADHD, and since being diagnosed and sorting out medication and therapy I’m WAY more in control of my life. Still chasing the 2” bicep gain but at least I can find my car keys of a morning, it’s still a win.
Usually I'm inspired/slightly intimidated by your videos, but this might be the first time I've ever thought "wow, I' beat Matt to the punch" My notes app is an ~*organized masterpiece*~ with everything from recipes and travel plans to pre/during/post session therapy notes and a list of people I know who are pregnant and their due dates lol. It's SO helpful and easy to stay consistent once you make a habit of it.
For someone who suffers from Cognitive Issues as a result of Post-Covid Syndrome, I so aligned with this. From my Post-Covid syndrome and symptoms almost 2 in a half years later, I'm now being told there is a chance I have ADHD and I can relate to things you and Tiago said in this video. Thank you for the encouraging me without you even knowing it. I feel more confident after watching this video knowing I can get things together using my second brain and simple tools.
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
I went deep in the rabbit hole of note taking and second brain systems early this year. And yes I fell into that trap of finding the right now. 😅 I did finally settle on an app of choice (Obsidian). But man did I waste a lot of time not "doing".
Matt one of the best videos on RUclips. Not kidding. Very productive. Your editing (highlighted skills :) with Tiago discussion was fantastic.Thank you! God Bless!
i'm so surprised you didn't end up using (or weren't already using) a more sophisticated "second brain" note-taking app like obsidian! (or notion since it's free and syncs everywhere). maybe try the Zettelkasten method next time for a new video and see how you find it?? :D personally, rather than organising things into lots of different folders (something i'd defs get too lazy to do over time), i use different apps for different types of notes. Bear for recipes and travel (and just hashtag it accordingly), Notion and Obsidian for proper studying/note-taking (work vs personal learning), SimpleNote for when i need a post-it to write down a phone number or something, etc. i feel like different notes apps are more geared towards different types of note taking, so while having all your notes in one place is usually a plus point, this works way better for me than forcing all my notes into 1 type of notes app (and struggling to keep it organised). i automatically just open a different app for my purpose. and i'm never going to combine my study notes with my recipes for example so i'm not missing out on any potential connections between my notes or whatever.
Omg i usually learn something from your videos, but as a girl i have always been this organized with my notes. A suggestion that i have is implementing the use of tags if you keep using Apple Notes, it can be life saver not to create a bunch of folders for certain things but if you're like me and really struggles to remember, using tags its a good way to start :)
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I also fell into the trap of "trying everything and see what sticks", but I quickly found out that I was using every app and no app at the same time. My notes were all over these apps, and couldn't find shit. So, one day, I just opened Tom Franks Second Brain template video, and started making my own in Notion. And now I'm using it everyday! I made proper areas, I store resources like notes, articles, videos in appropriate projects, I save web clips using Notion Web Clipper and Share feature in Android and much more. The main thing is to stick to one app, that's it! Good Luck to everyone who's trying to figure this out the hard way!
Another great video. But as the minimalist you are, I’d love to see a video reflection on whether saving all those notes are actually valuable and relevant? Will they truly be seen and have value years later? Or is it just time spent now for things that won’t ever be used?
I read Tiago's book a few months ago, and when I put it down, my question was...Who is this book for? If you're any type of writer, content creator, project manager, or anyone who has to DO THINGS on a daily basis, this book is sort of superfluous. Somehow, Tiago Forte is able to stretch his thesis into 60,000 words when I can do it in a single sentence: If you want to remember things better, just write them down. Here's the thing: humans have been writing stuff on stuff for 100,000+ years. From stone to tablets to parchment to paper to now digital tools, humans have always recorded the things that matter; have always made lists, journaled, saved things for later. This is not a new concept and in fact I find it kind of insulting that Tiago Forte has the audacity to pretend he's onto something revolutionary when he says "that website you like, just save the pertinent information from it in your phone's notes app." Also, Tiago, there is real science behind the notion that the best way to remember things is not in some digital folder/notes system but by actually WRITING things. In a notebook. Even your case studies in this book all focus on people who WROTE their notes. There is something chemical in your brain that actuates when writing by hand that does not happen when copying and pasting information into a digital note. That's not how the human brain operates. If you're considering this book, save yourself the 3 hours it would take to read it by following this advice-if you want to remember things, if you want to be more creative, just...write stuff down.

This video came at the best possible time for me. Just two weeks ago, I started organizing my notes in the PARA way. This is a motivation to keep me going and finish all my notes to this system!
Incredible video. The cinematography in your videos really is out of this world & paired with the incredibly high-value and carefully curated information, this is by far one of my absolute favorite youtube-channels!
"Great" idea to store everything in the cloud services! If you care about privacy and safety - you store your life on your external HDD or SSD, or even on your own home server.
As you continue on your journey, you will start to see yourself more brightly. The resolution will improve every day. You will begin to know what is really important to you and what you can leave behind. It may be self-doubt that falls into the dim as your light increases. Gratitude and self-care will become more evident in your day-to-day. You will say goodbye to bad habits and recreate your environment so that it reflects who you are meant to be.
I am so proud of myself that I found this video, grateful to my mom who educate me English so that I understand this video. And thank you to The MInimalist, they lead me to get to know this amazing youtuber Matt D’Avella. Send love from Korea!
Omg. I found a holy Grail!! I've been fumbling after removing my kids and myself from a toxic marriage and found myself in chaos. All the information from self help in whatever category hasn't helped. I'm motivated but wanted a different approach I think this is it... This is what I've been telling myself.... I'd like to see what else Tiago is working on .
I found this video really helpful, I started to organise my files using PARA, weirdly at first I thought it was too restrictive, but actually once I looked at file or folder names it was easy to identify where they went for me, I paired back and it was REALLY NICE to have things more organised. LOVE THIS for me!
Dear Matt D’ Avella I really get motivated and inspired from all you videos and I am really interested in your workplace set up. If it is possible, can you please consider an idea of filming a separate video about a workplace setup that is important for productivity, including the devices you use, cable management furniture and so on. Thank you very much you are doing great 🙏🫡
What was it that the Minimalists said? Something like "Organizing is well planned hoarding" 😂 Seriously though, I've really started to look at my well organized notes and wonder if I really need any of it. They're just another way of cluttering up my life. The digital equivalent of stashing things in an overfull closet. I can guarantee that if my note app died I wouldn't remember most of what was even in it never mind miss it.
I read building a second before shortly before starting university. BASB is one of the single best productivity, self development and organisation books ever ! The takeaways from this book have helped me manage almost all of the tasks in my life from my business to my university assignments and even my holidays. I highly recommend this to anyone !
I've always been chasing better productivity, believing it’s the foundation for success. I’ve done the usual-task lists, reminders, apps-but somehow, they all seemed to fall short. Then I read about the idea of having someone keep you accountable. I tried it with a friend, but we both slacked off pretty quickly. Now I’ve signed up for a structured program with Habit10x, and it’s already feeling like a much more reliable system. Fingers crossed that this will help me finally stick to my productivity goals!
Been using Milanote for years. Searching content on Pinterest and organizing it in Milanote has worked wonders for me, so much I'm on the premium plan.
I’ve been struggling in this area, not sure of how I wanted to store all my notes. So this was really good… just what I needed. I even picked up TIAGO’s book now.
So much for quitting my phone 🫣. More on that another time! Big thanks to Milanote for sponsoring this video! Check em outtttt: milanote.com/mattdavella 🤘
That was my first thought lol. It's so difficult to manage your phone instead of it being the other way around ugh.
Dang, I was hoping the apple watch thing would work! I look forward to seeing why it didn't and potential future remedies to phone addiction.
my name is mila (pronounced, however: mee-la), and i remember discovering this app for the first time a couple months ago and i was overjoyed! though i didn't really end up using it much (i'm more of an apple notes person), but i still found it pretty good!
You’re friend of Elon Musk?!
Watching this video again because by the end of this video had already forgotten what R in PARA means. Is there any hope for me?
I like being productive… so I’m watching a RUclips video on my couch
same!
Yes!
I wish I was productive...so waste hours watching other people talk about tools they use 🤦♀️
You are not alone brother 😢
Relatable
When I takes notes like this I usually end up not enjoying the present thing I’m doing. It becomes more about saving this thing for my future self that may find it useful 🤷♂️
Happens to me too, perhaps I don't enjoy making a record yet when I recall something for memory it feels incredibly satisfying
Humans are time travellers,
We take notes and photos in the present so in the future we can remember the past
For me I have to separate the want for it to be organised and the want to have the reference for later. I worry so much about getting it organised right that I get stressed out about it and don't record anything. I think it you focus on things being collected at all over it being perfect and it can become more rewarding
@@richardgreen8569 absolutely right man ...but taking notes and organising about life should be fun and important. you should find a way in which you can do so.
AI could be helpful here. I'd like to only worry about writing things down and have the AI worry about organisation and information retrieval
PARA
Projects: store things you are actively working on (ex: office reno, upcoming trip to Europe)
Areas: store things of responsibility in your life (ex: vehicles, taxes)
Resources: store things like book notes and inspirations
Archives: store things that are no longer needed, but might be useful in the future
Thank you for writing this out !! Just copied & pasted this into my notes lol
Hey guys, this PARA dont work in real life LOL.
i faced lots of issues with it . I finally moved to tag system which is more efficient than the folders.
Eg:
meeting comes under AREAS , but it also relates to PROJECT. We cannot keep duplicate files of meeting in both AREA and PROJECTS .
We have many such things which causes friction between AREAS and PROJECTS.
Its a complete messup with PARA method
I think it is less a problem with para and more with the categories you are using in area.
My understanding (may be wrong)
Meetings should not be an area. Meeting notes go into the related project or area. If the notes are not just specific to the project the can be an area or resource and reference by the project.
"there's something to be said about sticking with the basics & just doing the work." - this is so important as i've also recently found myself overwhelmed by the amount & popularity of different tools. lately, i've been building an essentials list of sort which are the things i live with & by, without the need to waste time looking for something else. thank you for this video!

Do you use the default note app for all that?
Yesss! Same
Which app?
Which app do you use Kay?
@@fistinair yep, just the apple notes app! not saying it's the best notes app, but works well for me.
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
this book does not exist
I've seen like 3 different videos on Tiago's method specifically and countless others on using every app imaginable for different types of media and THIS IS THE ONE!!! Immediately went into my Apple Notes and started organizing 10 years worth of ideas.
To be honest, most of the time I'm more attracted to Matt's video making and editing skill than the contents themselves.
I live for tia ll honestly, amazing storytelling and amazing execution
One of the best videos on RUclips for this viewer. You introduced me to Tiago, Milanote, and Readwise, over a much enjoyable quarter of an hour, with a chuckle or two along the way. Brilliant. Thank you. Truly.
I created a second brain last year and it made finding things so much easier, both at home and professionally. I use Evernote as my storage and Pocket as my "read later" app. These in combination with my second brain have been life changing.
Die you Link Pocket to Evernote or do you keep them seperated?
@@smsdelux I keep them separated. I use pocket for when I have time to read and a lot of it (80%?) is for entertainment or just general interest articles. If I find something that I want to keep and put into my Evernote I move it at that time.
@@traceywilson7642 thx!
Best review: The content of the book is: 1. make notes 2. organize files in projects, areas, resources and archives (para) 3. start generating output based on your notes. That is not worth more than a blog post post Getting Things Done. The rest of the book is filler material in the form of anecdotes and it is hard to find any actionable content because of all the fluff. The bonus chapter advertised in the TOC is only provided as a PDF, you are forced to provide your E-Mail address, before getting an E-Mail with the link.
Matt - Excellent video.
I offer the following ideas and suggestions.
#1 - PARA - I consider Tiago Forte to be a professional when it comes to productivity systems. The rest of us are amateurs. No matter how well-conceived the PARA system is, I don’t think it is a good choice for us amateurs. Why? Because there is little to no basis for the names of the folders that materialize. They are commonly concepts (maybe even abstractions) that were important at the time they were created, but which can be forgotten a couple months / couple years down the road. Consequently, it is commonly challenging for amateurs to remember what folder they put a note in. - - - I highly recommend that most people adopt a folder structure in which the names of the folders are objects. Examples are Art, Education, Equipment, Financial, Food, Medical, Politics, Products, Religion, Science, Shopping, and Utilities.
#2 - Tags - Every note organization system needs to define the basis for the folder structure and the basis for the tag structure. The PARA system does the former, but your system doesn’t use tags. You will benefit greatly by determining how to incorporate tags into to your system. I view a Tag as information “about” a Note, not the content of the Note. They are commonly called “Meta” data. Here are a couple example of Tag structures:
* PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives).
* Note Type (Email, Invoice, Article, Instructions, Map, MeetingNote, Picture, ProblemLog, Receipt).
* Your Roles (Son, Spouse, Father, Engineer).
Of course, one of the great features of Tags is that a Note can have multiple Tags. It’s like putting a piece of paper in multiple manila folders at the same time.
#3 - Smart Folders - I have found this Apple Notes function to be very helpful for finding Notes. A user can specify a variety of criteria with which the app will produce a list of Notes that meet the criteria. One that I use almost every day is a Smart Folder that lists all Notes I edited in the last 2 days.
#4 - Apple Notes - Use it. Avoid 3rd party apps. - - - There are a couple disadvantages of 3rd party apps. While they increase productivity, they also increase complexity, more than most users need. Secondly, a 3rd party app may be developed by a company that may not even exist in a couple years. - - - Also, in the last 2-3 years, Apple has released new versions of Apple Notes with significant functional enhancements. A good example is the “Scan Text” function. When reading a book/article, it is an easy matter for a user to scan text with his/her iPhone directly into Apple Notes. This is a function of the “Read Wise” 3rd party app that Tiago mentioned.
Oh god! This synchronicity is crazy! I litterally trying to learn anything to improve my memory also to build track to understand things in the second brain so I would never forget them !
"How to improve your memory" is literally a question that haunted me all my student life. I make a thousand notes in the phone, on a piece of paper and generally everywhere until I created complete chaos in my life
Don't repeat it!
Check out “the memory palace technique”
@@danielmcpherson9062 but then I have to memorize the technique
@@auri2501 🎯🎯🎯😂
I bought Tiago’s book the same week of its release after consuming his YT content and have yet to implement it. Not a fault of his, bc his system makes so much sense, it’s just always seemed like a daunting task. But something about you actually documenting that process and outlining the time it took, the scares you had, and the silly things you kept over the years just made it more relatable and gave me a vision of what a starting point looks like. I especially admire your declaration of not switching your notes app and getting his input of working from the bottom-up until it breaks before “upgrading” bc I’m so guilty of being sucked into trying the newest tech in hopes it’ll solve the clutter in my brain. Thank you Matt!! And kudos to you to putting in the work to make sure you’re a supportive partner, wish y’all the best!
I get the same way so I started fresh and moved everything that existed into my archive folder. Then, whenever I had free time in the evening, I slowly added back anything relevant into the PARA structure. Might help jumpstart your journey!
I need to say that for me it’s quite difficult to stay consistent and yes .. the fact of having a lot of apps that proposes organizing (Evernote, notion, apple notes and so on) sometimes causes a mess on our heads .. I have a lot of difficulty on getting out of physical notes .. but even with them I get lost in few days .. indeed the consistency is one thing that needs to be solved first
What worked the best for me is separating the apps for each life context. For example, my study notes are taken in Notion, because I prefere to use it on the web. For my daily work I take notes on my tablet with Samsung notes. For my therapy sessions and take notes on the tablet too. On RUclips I use the watch later to help me manage my watch time and if I want to save a video to my future self, I send a message to myself on WhatsApp
I know I’m late to commenting - I have this same (huge) problem! I am watching this video along side others to try and solve my issue.
Im a multi- system user, I use the PARA system and flip flop with my app of choice from Notion to GoodNotes to nothing.
My only advice to myself is not reduce the apps, but simplify and figure out workflow. Account for the way I use technology and have a “recovery” plan so it’s easier to organize after the gaps.
I feel your pain!
It's nice that RUclips recommended your video after I finished Tiago's PARA series, it helped me to see that we're actually in the same boat (except I don't have bicep as big as you!). I will pull myself together to clear my 1,400+ notes.
One point to add, you can highlight anything on your Safari, right-click> share > Note > select where you want to save it, it will create a new note (or add to an existing note) with a link to the page.
I try as much as possible to stick with Apple's stock productivity apps such as Notes and Reminder, bcs I know however the world is changing, and the stock app will always be there (for free too). And it's encouraging to see that they're involved with every iOS/iPadOS/MacOS update while remaining simple enough to use. That sense of stability is important to me so that I can deal with the shortfall of their apps.
I love this technique! I do something similar. I have a “MIND” folder that’s split into “THOUGHTS” and “IDEAS”.It’s helped me to save the thought for a future journal, or the idea for a future project!
I really enjoyed the sharing from 13:48.
"The structure of your notes should match the structure of your life because the purpose of notes is to support and enhance your life."
These are very profound words. Thanks for sharing the nice interview with decent editing.
I’m impressed that how all using and recommending apps like notion, good notes, etc. you on the other hand used simple apple notes and used it so efficiently, by giving a simple answer about how not ones organising is not dependent on app on the market it’s about you how you manage it
Seems we all are struggling and scratching the at same questions. A few weeks ago I was rearranging my Notes using PARA method, after watching a dozen of videos about 2nd brain. At some point, I thought that was too much for me and saw Matt's video about Apple Notes. That sounded so simple, minimalist and more healthy that I just copied the structure and lived my life happy haha. Now, Matt brings the PARA to your own system. The conclusion for me is: no one knows the way, the answers... we're all searching mechanisms to find solutions that fits our life. To live is to try out. And that's beautiful :)
I love your comments, so do I, always overwhelmed by the new different apps. But after watching Matt’s video, the essence of taking note is not about learning new - fancy apps- it’s about living my life more organized, simple, and happy. I also decided to use Apple Notes mostly.
Wow the timing of this video is great. I started reading Building a Second Brain yesterday on my train ride to Manhattan
This may sound weird but I legit write all my notes about everything on 1 note with headings and emojis to separate things, everythings there like a mini vision board and it's a great reminder of the bigger picture/goals when doing day to day tasks
I have heard the pitch of "Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain" multiple times before (Ali Abdaal and Thomas Frank come to mind). But, I always perceived it as something that I would do if I had a different job. Well, Matt, you've managed to paint it in a different light, and now I think I'm going to try it. Well done!
I've been customizing my own system off of your old Simple Productivity system, and it's hilarious how similar our systems have become once again!
This remembers me of the 6th episode of the Extrapolations, where the main character (young man with kind of neural health problems) has started to forgot everything, so he has put all of his memories into a cloud service. But how the time passed, he was strugling with the payments for this cloud service to store all of his memories and at one moment he lost all of them, because of some technical problems on the cloud provider side.
13:46. "The structure of your notes should match the structure of your life". Thank you.
Been using milanote since last year and really changed my life!!!! I'm a singer/songwriter who also happens to love ideation and writing+directing. A few months ago, we shot a music video for my husband and the film project template helped the whole team a lot to have a space we can update one another and put every detail we need to take note of. The team started using the app as well and they're all pros here in the Philippines!!!
Tiago is the man. I'm surprised you didn't mention Notion and how Thomas Frank adapted Tiago's PARA model. I know you've shared a video where you chatted with him a few years ago, but he has since fallen down a Notion well and hasn't climbed out since. It's freaking awesome to see what he's built.
Yep I’m currently using his second brain template in notion and it’s an absolute game changer!
@@katcross8810 could you please refer the video you’re talking about?
ruclips.net/video/vs8WQh2k-Ow/видео.html
The best notion system I found based on Tiago Fortes concepts is by the youtube channel „better creating“. Hands down the best out there
Love Thomas Frank! His system looks really impressive.
There's something so simple and satisfying about Matt's videos. He's not talking about groundbreaking stuff (there is a MOUNTAIN of content out there about this), but the way he talks about it is just very simple, relatable, and enjoyable.
I think para is nice for organizing files, but not for notes. My notes are not only about projects and areas, but also about stuff I learn. If I put this all in a “Self development” or “Learning” area, it becomes an overloaded mess real quick. On the flip side if you try to add too much structure to study notes, you become too focused on organization and less on studying. I found zettelkasten + obsidian to be a nice minimalist balance between effort of organization and result.
I agree, I have bunch of notes/quotes from books I've read or study notes that just doesn't fall into any of those categories. I also found digital notes don't stick with me as well as hand written notes. Is the zettelkasten method working well for you?
Maybe do a PARLA system?
Surprised to see this video is about BASB! Glad I checked it out. 💯% stick with your notes app until you reach a point where you long for it to do something else. Simplicity is key. Its about getting your work done and not having to think too much about maintaining the system.
And the read-later app is great because you'll collect so much content initially and then revisit them wondering why you captured it in the first place. This is a great filter that informs you about what you really value.
Love Tiago Forte and his book is fantastic. Setting up PARA on Google Drive, Notion and my computer has been such a game changer for me. I always know where to find things now and no longer feel overwhelmed by all my digital files and notes.
His Inbox Zero set up is also a game changer.
Matt, please make a video about your life in Australia, did you guys are still thinking about living in both countries or only there? plus I wish to see a house tour (we saw it empty but now it looks like you finished renovating and decorating).
This is perfect timing for me! ☺️ Lately I’ve been stressing out a lot about my notes being all over the place. 🤪 Thank you!
Like Tiago said, we all try to organize our notes into databases that look sophisticated and aesthetic, but we do not think about creating a system that work.
Amazing video, going to implement this in my life this week - 30 hours of searching and sorting sh*t incoming 💩
Very happy to see Tiago here. Obsidian works very well with Tiago's approach.
Really great summary. I've tried the PARA system with Notion and it always becomes quickly overwhelming. Applying it to Notes is a better idea. I'm also a late adopter to all the automation tools, but slowing integrating them into my workflow has made an enormous difference.
I watched this video a year ago. Read the Tiago book. Started to slowly convert all my digital space into a system. It is hard, really hard to set it up. But once I did it, this removes so much anxiety from my life. I am still only half way through through organising it.
So happy to see that im onto something once.
With so much to remember and organizing my personal life and managing our family life my calendar is where most of my information goes.
Not even bothered anymore to clutter up my mind with everything as I'll forget it anyways. Takes getting used to but it takes so much stress away from the feeling of "am I missing something" and getting rid of some of the anxiety that comes with it.
Will try to implement this method to my information-pool too!
I love the counterintuitive approach of outsourcing memory to machines. It's a practical way to free up your mental energy for more creative and strategic thinking
I use Safari’s built in “read later” list. I suspect it’s a lot like Reader. Also you can highlight parts of webpages and make a “quick note” in apple notes. (If you’re on that eco system using its default tools)
Yeah I've seen that with Google Chrome before as well but just always ignored it 😅
I appreciate how well you organize your thoughts.
I had shocking problems with memory and simple data retention. Names of people, numerical being jumbled, all sorts. I also struggled with motivation and discipline. Turns out I have ADHD, and since being diagnosed and sorting out medication and therapy I’m WAY more in control of my life. Still chasing the 2” bicep gain but at least I can find my car keys of a morning, it’s still a win.
Usually I'm inspired/slightly intimidated by your videos, but this might be the first time I've ever thought "wow, I' beat Matt to the punch" My notes app is an ~*organized masterpiece*~ with everything from recipes and travel plans to pre/during/post session therapy notes and a list of people I know who are pregnant and their due dates lol. It's SO helpful and easy to stay consistent once you make a habit of it.
For someone who suffers from Cognitive Issues as a result of Post-Covid Syndrome, I so aligned with this. From my Post-Covid syndrome and symptoms almost 2 in a half years later, I'm now being told there is a chance I have ADHD and I can relate to things you and Tiago said in this video. Thank you for the encouraging me without you even knowing it. I feel more confident after watching this video knowing I can get things together using my second brain and simple tools.
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
Always top-notch story telling and video editing. Love upload day from Matt!
watch the video first dumbass, then comment on its story telling and video editing
Thanks Trevor!
I appreciate you didn’t shy away from this video even though so many have already talked about it. Every one is on their own timeline!
I went deep in the rabbit hole of note taking and second brain systems early this year. And yes I fell into that trap of finding the right now. 😅
I did finally settle on an app of choice (Obsidian). But man did I waste a lot of time not "doing".
Same bro
i have been tweaking and exploring obsidian for 3 days straight, it really is a trap
Love it that Tiago comes straight in like don't try and fight the machines, they know better now.
amazing video. Implementing stuff right now!
Building a second brain change my life (You HAVE to learn PARA now!) :P
you already seem very organized, doubt anyone can achieve your level of success without organization
Woahhh chuck my guy!! Didn't know u watch Matt too.
Thanks Chuck!! :)
we can use notion
"sticking to the basics and just do the work" - thanks man, I am been on a productivity hunt for months and this really woke me up.
Damn, Elon lost some weight. Good for him!
Great video as usual, enjoying it so far.
😂😂😂
my thought as well. lol
same thought
Matt one of the best videos on RUclips. Not kidding. Very productive. Your editing (highlighted skills :) with Tiago discussion was fantastic.Thank you! God Bless!
i'm so surprised you didn't end up using (or weren't already using) a more sophisticated "second brain" note-taking app like obsidian! (or notion since it's free and syncs everywhere). maybe try the Zettelkasten method next time for a new video and see how you find it?? :D
personally, rather than organising things into lots of different folders (something i'd defs get too lazy to do over time), i use different apps for different types of notes. Bear for recipes and travel (and just hashtag it accordingly), Notion and Obsidian for proper studying/note-taking (work vs personal learning), SimpleNote for when i need a post-it to write down a phone number or something, etc. i feel like different notes apps are more geared towards different types of note taking, so while having all your notes in one place is usually a plus point, this works way better for me than forcing all my notes into 1 type of notes app (and struggling to keep it organised). i automatically just open a different app for my purpose. and i'm never going to combine my study notes with my recipes for example so i'm not missing out on any potential connections between my notes or whatever.
Enjoyed your comment about sticking with the basics and just doing it. The Tiago statement of start with simple until it breaks then change.
Omg i usually learn something from your videos, but as a girl i have always been this organized with my notes. A suggestion that i have is implementing the use of tags if you keep using Apple Notes, it can be life saver not to create a bunch of folders for certain things but if you're like me and really struggles to remember, using tags its a good way to start :)
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I also fell into the trap of "trying everything and see what sticks", but I quickly found out that I was using every app and no app at the same time. My notes were all over these apps, and couldn't find shit.
So, one day, I just opened Tom Franks Second Brain template video, and started making my own in Notion. And now I'm using it everyday!
I made proper areas, I store resources like notes, articles, videos in appropriate projects, I save web clips using Notion Web Clipper and Share feature in Android and much more.
The main thing is to stick to one app, that's it!
Good Luck to everyone who's trying to figure this out the hard way!
Great video, Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions
Another great video. But as the minimalist you are, I’d love to see a video reflection on whether saving all those notes are actually valuable and relevant? Will they truly be seen and have value years later? Or is it just time spent now for things that won’t ever be used?
We'll see!
Been doing this for years! Very happy that my process has been the best for me the whole time!
He looks like Elon Musk.
Can't tell if it's on purpose or not 😂
It's him bro.
If he's Sir Elon Musk, he'll make a real second brain... Like a living second brain robot.
I am in love with the editing style in your videos and how the storytelling actually leads you through the video. Thank you for the quality!
I read Tiago's book a few months ago, and when I put it down, my question was...Who is this book for?
If you're any type of writer, content creator, project manager, or anyone who has to DO THINGS on a daily basis, this book is sort of superfluous. Somehow, Tiago Forte is able to stretch his thesis into 60,000 words when I can do it in a single sentence:
If you want to remember things better, just write them down.
Here's the thing: humans have been writing stuff on stuff for 100,000+ years. From stone to tablets to parchment to paper to now digital tools, humans have always recorded the things that matter; have always made lists, journaled, saved things for later. This is not a new concept and in fact I find it kind of insulting that Tiago Forte has the audacity to pretend he's onto something revolutionary when he says "that website you like, just save the pertinent information from it in your phone's notes app."
Also, Tiago, there is real science behind the notion that the best way to remember things is not in some digital folder/notes system but by actually WRITING things. In a notebook. Even your case studies in this book all focus on people who WROTE their notes. There is something chemical in your brain that actuates when writing by hand that does not happen when copying and pasting information into a digital note. That's not how the human brain operates.
If you're considering this book, save yourself the 3 hours it would take to read it by following this advice-if you want to remember things, if you want to be more creative, just...write stuff down.
This video hooked me. By the end I re-organized my Apple Notes, bought a book, and subscribed to the RUclips channel of some random guy named Matt.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:59 🤔 Tiago Forte's system, "Building a Second Brain," emphasizes delegating memory to intelligent machines through note-taking and organizing knowledge systematically.
03:27 🗂️ The PARA structure (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) helps organize notes effectively, replacing generic folders with a more strategic approach.
06:48 📌 Milanote, a creative notes app, aids in visual project planning and idea organization, offering a unique approach to note-taking.
08:49 📚 Readwise connects with various apps to automatically import and organize highlights, enhancing the management of digital knowledge.
11:10 ⏰ ReadLater apps, like Reader, allow you to save articles, videos, and more to consume later, reducing distractions and enhancing productivity.

After bullet journaling this is the best thing I've got from productivity videos.
Tiago looks like a younger Elon Musk.
This video came at the best possible time for me. Just two weeks ago, I started organizing my notes in the PARA way. This is a motivation to keep me going and finish all my notes to this system!
Is it just me or does Tiago really look like a subtle version of Elon Musk?
Exactly what I had in mind lol. So Elon musk
Yaa but if he gets some fats in his face then for sure 😁😁
I am here for this comment🙌
Incredible video. The cinematography in your videos really is out of this world & paired with the incredibly high-value and carefully curated information, this is by far one of my absolute favorite youtube-channels!
Thank you! :)
"Great" idea to store everything in the cloud services!
If you care about privacy and safety - you store your life on your external HDD or SSD, or even on your own home server.
As you continue on your journey, you will start to see yourself more brightly. The resolution will improve every day. You will begin to know what is really important to you and what you can leave behind.
It may be self-doubt that falls into the dim as your light increases. Gratitude and self-care will become more evident in your day-to-day. You will say goodbye to bad habits and recreate your environment so that it reflects who you are meant to be.
In order to protect that movie idea at all costs, we must protect Matt at all costs! 😈
I love Milanote! Works 1000x better for me than Notion, Evernote, etc. ever did.
I pray that every one watching this levels up financially, physically, mentally, and spiritually this year! Let’s get to work 💪🏿💰💪🏿
thank you! hope you tooo!
I am so proud of myself that I found this video, grateful to my mom who educate me English so that I understand this video.
And thank you to The MInimalist, they lead me to get to know this amazing youtuber Matt D’Avella.
Send love from Korea!
Tiago out here looking like Elon Musk 😩
Omg. I found a holy Grail!! I've been fumbling after removing my kids and myself from a toxic marriage and found myself in chaos. All the information from self help in whatever category hasn't helped. I'm motivated but wanted a different approach
I think this is it... This is what I've been telling myself.... I'd like to see what else Tiago is working on .
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Tiago's cinematic setup?
The last couple minutes are a true pearl of wisdom.
What is Elon musk doing here
I found this video really helpful, I started to organise my files using PARA, weirdly at first I thought it was too restrictive, but actually once I looked at file or folder names it was easy to identify where they went for me, I paired back and it was REALLY NICE to have things more organised. LOVE THIS for me!
I hate Apps and technology. It overwhelms me. I prefer using my pen and an actual notebook.
Dear Matt D’ Avella I really get motivated and inspired from all you videos and I am really interested in your workplace set up. If it is possible, can you please consider an idea of filming a separate video about a workplace setup that is important for productivity, including the devices you use, cable management furniture and so on.
Thank you very much you are doing great 🙏🫡
What was it that the Minimalists said? Something like "Organizing is well planned hoarding" 😂 Seriously though, I've really started to look at my well organized notes and wonder if I really need any of it. They're just another way of cluttering up my life. The digital equivalent of stashing things in an overfull closet. I can guarantee that if my note app died I wouldn't remember most of what was even in it never mind miss it.
This is by far the best and most innovative video I have ever watched on youtube
Am I the only one who was sure that Tiago is the lost brother of Eilon Mask ?
I read building a second before shortly before starting university. BASB is one of the single best productivity, self development and organisation books ever ! The takeaways from this book have helped me manage almost all of the tasks in my life from my business to my university assignments and even my holidays. I highly recommend this to anyone !
I've always been chasing better productivity, believing it’s the foundation for success. I’ve done the usual-task lists, reminders, apps-but somehow, they all seemed to fall
short. Then I read about the idea of having someone keep you accountable. I tried it with a friend, but we both slacked off pretty quickly. Now I’ve signed up for a structured
program with Habit10x, and it’s already feeling like a much more reliable system. Fingers crossed that this will help me finally stick to my productivity goals!
wow Tiago looks so much like Elon Musk
I love how the video slightly become more and more whiter from darker as you become more calm along all the video
Anyone getting Elon vibes from Tiago?
Been using Milanote for years.
Searching content on Pinterest and organizing it in Milanote has worked wonders for me, so much I'm on the premium plan.
I’ve been struggling in this area, not sure of how I wanted to store all my notes. So this was really good… just what I needed. I even picked up TIAGO’s book now.
