Welcome to the final day of the Second Brain Operating System. If you’ve made it to day 4, then know that it’s no ordinary achievement. The reason is simple. While everyone around you continues to: Lose their best ideas to bad memory Pay a hefty subscription tax each month Spend hours in Obsidian
Welcome to Day 2 of the Second Brain Operating System. Yesterday, we installed the Notion Second Brain OS integration. Now, you have a home for all your ideas. This means any ideas you capture through the Second Brain OS customGPT or the quick capture (Day 3) will land here. What’s the point?
The problem really isn’t AI. It’s the people who continue to feed it garbage and pump out trash. And then they promise you that their prompts & templates will magically help you create “unique” content.

You know that feeling when you’re deep in thought, and someone opens the door to get something from your room? It’s not just the interruption that kills your focus. It’s what happens next: The school next door becomes impossible to ignore The dog barking outside your house now sounds loud & clear Your iMessage,
The greatest threat to creativity isn’t lack of ideas—it’s the anxiety of losing them. When you’re in a flow state, your ideas start connecting in ways you never expected. And this always happen in unplanned, chaotic bursts: long walks, warm showers, middle of the night and so on. But how you capture ideas
Picture this: It’s 11:37 PM on a Wednesday. The air reeks of a forgotten Nespresso, a stale aroma making you nauseous. The harsh, white glow of Google Sheets “lights up” your room—a stark reminder of late night work dates. Your partner’s snores from the bedroom, the ones you regret arguing about? A
