Can you describe some of the health benefits? My "second brain" attempts have pretty much been a mess, but I like your system for its simplicity.



For sure. I’m not exactly sure why but I make more consistent progress towards working out. Maybe I’m more aware.

For instance, one day I’ll write my neck hurts today. When I see that again, I think about why. Then start thinking about posture. I start doing a simple yoga routine. Find one area is super tight. Write it down. I learn my hip flexors need work. Now I’m on that simple yoga routine with some martial arts kick drills and I feel phenomenal!

Mental clarity is greatly improved as well.

The biggest benefit to me is not redundantly thinking about things. When I do, it’s obvious because I see it in writing and can take action.

I tried a bunch of complicated frameworks for organizing. I ended up with as simple as possible.
