"饭要一口一口的吃，事要一件一件的做"

"Your professional success and quality of life depend directly on your ability to manage information effectively."
"Everyone experiences pain, mistake, and struggle at some point in their lives."
"Information overload has become information exhaustion, taxing our mental resources and leaving us constantly anxious that we're forgetting something.
Instantaneous access to the world's knowledge through the Internet was supposed to educate and inform us, but instead it has created a society-wide poverty of attention."
"Every minute we spend trying to mentally juggle all the stuff we have to do leaves less time for more meaningful pursuits like cooking self-care, hobbies, resting, and spending time with loved ones."
"Every change in how we use technology also requires a change in how we think."
"The media landscape of today is oriented towad wha tis novel and public."
"Knowledge building block----a discrete unit of information interpreted through your unique perspective and stored outside your head."
"Four essential capabilities that we can rely on a Second Brain to perform for us:
1. Making our ideas concrete.
2. Revealing new associations between ideas.
3. Incubating our ideas over time.
4. Sharpening our unique perspective."
"when you feel stuck in your creative pursuits, it doesn't mean that there's somethinng wrong with you.
It just means you don't yet have enough raw material to work with."
"Digital notes combine the casual artistry of a daily sketchbook with the scientific power of modern software."
"A good place to start is to look at the apps you already have and perhaps are already using.
You can always start now with a basic option and upgrade later as your needs get more sophisticated."
"Most important of all, don't get caught in the trap of perfectionism: insisting that you have to have the "perfect" app with a precise set of features before you take a single note.
It's not about having the perfect tools----it' about having a reliable set of tools you can depend on, knowing you can always change them later."
"Three stages of personal knowledge management: Remembering. Connecting, Creatiing."
"The four steps to remembering what matters: CODE method----Capture, Organize, Distill, Express."
"The solution is to keep only what resonates in a trusted place that you control, and to leave the rest aside.
Often, the ideas that resonate are the ones that are most unusual, counterintuitive, interesting, or potentially useful."
"The best way to organize your notes is to orgaanize for action, according to the active projects you are working on right now.
Surprisingly, when you focus on taking action, the vast amount of information out there gets radically streamlined and simplified.
Organizing for action gives you a sense of tremendous clarity, because you know that everything you're keeping actually has a purpose."
"The human mind is like a sizzling-hot frying pan of associations-----throw a handful of seeds in there and they'll explode into new ideas like popcorn.
Every idea has an "essence": the heart and soul of what it is trying to communicate."
"Information becomes knowledge----personal, embodied, verified-----only when we put it to use.
You gain confidence in what you know only when you know that it works."
"Creating new things is not only one of the most deeply fulfilling things we can do, it can also have a positive impact on others----by inspiring, entertaining, or educating them."
"Knowledge capture is about mining the richness of the reading you're alreading doing and the life you're already living.
A knowledge asset is anything that can be used in the future to solve a problem, save time, illuminate a concept, or learn from past experience."
"The meaning of a thought, insight, or memory often isn't immediately clear.
We need to write them down, revisit them, and view them from a different perspective in order to digest what they mean to us."
"It's important to start small and get your feet wet before diving into the deep end."
"There are always certain parts that are especially interesting, helpful, or valuable to you.
You can extract only the most salient, relevant, rich material and save it as a succinct note.
The best curators are picky about what they allow into their collections, and you should be too."
"If you try to save every of material you come across, you run the risk of inundating your future self with tons of irrelevant information."
"A curator's Perspective----that we are the judges, editors, and interpreters of the information we choose to let into our lives.
The more economical you can be with the material you capture in the first place, the less time and effort you future self will have to spend organizing, distilling, and expressing it."
"There is a way to evoke a sense of inspiration more regularly: keep a collection of inpiring quotes, photos, ideas, and stories."
"Sometimes you come across a piece of information that isn't necessarily inspiring, but you know it might come in handy in the future."
"Like the age-old practice of journaling or keeping a diary, we can use notetaking to document our lives and better understand how we became who we are.
No one else has access to the wisdom you've personally gaiined from a lifetime of conversations, mistakes, victories, and lessons learned."
"I often save screenshots of text messages sent between my family and friends.
The small moments of warmth and humor tha ttake place in these threads are precious to me, since I can't always be with them in person."
"We have a natural bias as humans to seek evidence that confirms what we already believe, a well-studies phenomenon known as "confirmation bias.""
"Surprise is an excellent barometer for information that doesn't fit neatly into our existing understanding, which means it has the potential to change how we think."
"Our bility to capture ideas from anywhere takes us in a different direction: by saving ideas that may contradict each other and don't necessarily support what we already believe, we can train ourselves to take in information from different sources instead of immediately jumping to conclusion."
"The secret to making reading a habit is to make it effortless and enjoyable.
This special feeling of "resonance" is your intuition telliing you that something is literally noteworthy."
"You eyes might widen slightly, your heart may skip a beat, your throat may go slightly dry, and your sense of time might subtly slow down as the world around you fades away."
"If you practice listening to what is telling you, the inner voice will grow stronger.
You'll start to hear it in all kinds of situation."
"I can't think of anything more important for your creative life than learniing to listen to the voice of intuition inside."
"You can intentionally train yourself to hear that voice of intuition every day by taking note of what is tells you."
"Think of your capture tools as you extended nervous system, reaching out into the world to allow you to sense your surroundings."
"Thinking doesn't just produce writing; writing also enriches thinking."
"Expressing our thoughts in writing can lead to benefits for our health and well-being."
"Perhaps the most immediate benefit of capturing content outside our heads is that we escape what I call the "reactivity loop"---the hamster wheel of urgency, outrage, and sensationalism that characterizes so much of the Internet.
The moment you first encounter an idea is the worst time to decide what it means."
"I'm always amazed that when I revisit the items I've previously saved to read later, many of them that seemed so important at the time are clearly trivial and unneded."
"Notetaking is the easiest and simplest way of externalizing our thinking.
Once our thoughts are outside our head, we can examine them, play with them, and make them better."
"It's important to keep capturing relatively effortless because it is only the first step.
You need to do it enough that it becomes second nature, while conserving your time and energt for the later steps when the value of the ideas you've found can be fully unleashed.
Capture isn't about doing more.
It's about taking notes on the experiences you're already having.
Don't worry about whether you're capturing "correctly." There's no right way to do this, and therefore, no wrong way.
The only way to know whether you're getting the good stuff is to try putting it to use in real life."
"Nothing is permanent in the digital world.
Digital content is endlesssly malleable, so you don't have to commit to any decision forever."
"PARA: four main categories of information in our lives: Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives.
Para can handle it all, regardless of your profession or field, for one reason: it organizes information based on how actionable it is, not what kind of information it is."
"Knowledge is best applied through execution, which means whatever doesn't help you make progress on your projects is probably detracting from them."
"Everything in a kitchen is designed and organized to support an outcome----preparing a meal as efficiently as possible.
The Archives are like the freeze.
Resources are like the pantry.
Areas are like the fridge.
Projects are like the pots and pans cooking on the stove."
"We cannto do our best thinking and our best work when all the "stuff" from the past is crowding and cluttering our space."
"To look for the path of least resistance and make progress in short steps.
Don't make organizing your Second Brain into yet another heavy obligation."
"The more determined we are to focus and get something done, the more aggressively life tends to throw emergencies and delays in our face."
"Speed is everything when it comes to recall: you have only a limited amount of time and energy, and the faster you can moe through your notes, the more diverse and interesting ideas you can connect together."
"If you're going to capture everything, you might as well capture nothing.
You don't need to and shouldn't include every tiny detail.
Your notes only solve the problem of rediscovering those sourves when you need them."
"Certain passages will move you, pique your attention, make your heart beat faster, or provoke you. Those are clear signals that you've found something imoprtant, and it's time to add a highlight.
looking out for individual points that are surprising, useful, inspirting, or personal to decide which ones are worth highlighting."
"More is not better when it comes to thinking and creating.
Our most scarce resource is time, which means we need to prioritize our ability to quickly rediscover the ideas that we already have in our Second Brain."
"We all stand on the shoulders of our predecessors. No one creates anything out of a pure void."
"I leanred that innovation and problem-solving depend ona routine that systematically brings interesting ideas to the surface of our awareness."
"Our attitude toward information profoundly shapes how we see and understand the world and our place in it.
Our success in the workforce depends on our ability to make use of information more effectively and to think better, smarter, faster."
"The biggest shift that starts to occur as soon as you start creating a Second Brain is the shift from reviewing the world through the lens of scarcity to seeing it through the leans of abundance.
Through the lens of scaricty, we constantly crave more, more, more  information, a response to the fear of not having enough.
That our value and self-worth come from what we know and can recite on command."
"The paradox of hoarding is that no matter how much we collect and accumulate, it's never enough."
"Abundance Mindset: this ia a way of looking at the world as full of valuable and helpful things.
An Abundance Mindset tells us that there is an endless amount of incredibly powerful knowledge everywhere we look.
It also tells us that we don't need to consume or understand all of it, or even much of it.
All we need is a few seeds of wisdom, and the seeds we most need tend to continually fiind us again and again.
Life tends to surface exactly what we need to know. whether we like it or not."
"Making the shift to a mindset of abundance is about letting go of the things we thought we needed to survive but that no longer serve us."
"It's about putting down the protective shield of fear that tells us we need to protect oursevle from the opinions of others,because that same shield is keeping us from receiving the gifts they want to give us."
"The desire to give back is a fundamental part of what makes us human."
"The purpose of knowledge is to be shared.
Learning shouldn't be about hoarding stockpiles of knowledge like gold coins.
Knowledge is the only resource that gets better and more valuable the more it multiplies."
"There is a universe of thoughts and ideas and emotions within you.
You search outside yourself to search within yourself, knowing that everything yo find has always been a part of you."
"That my thoughts were the constant background chatter of my subconsicous mind, and that I could choose whether to "believe"what they were telling me."
"You make my life so much more colorful and hilarious. 
My love for you gives me the determination to become the best versio of myself I can."
