While tinkering may feel like learning, it’s likely only a distraction from what really matters: moving your goals forward. Nor is it about mastering every feature of the most sophisticated software program available. (As one of our students exclaimed: “I have all the tools and none of the results!”) Too many people get lost in the sea of tools available out there. This isn’t about finding the “perfect” productivity app to solve all your problems. With the building blocks all laid out, you can start expressing your ideas in your unique voice –through writing, speaking, designing, teaching, persuading, or building a product or a business – to help advance your career and make a meaningful contribution to the world. And thanks to your Second Brain, you’ll never start from a blank page again. All the previous steps-capturing, organizing, and distilling-are geared toward one ultimate purpose: Getting your work done faster with less effort. Express your unique ideas and experiences By distilling your notes in a way that your future self can use them over and over again, you’ll build your own “knowledge treasury” full of your unique intellectual property. In the midst of a busy workday, you don’t have time to review ten pages of notes on a book you read last year. The Distill phase is how you're able to find what you need at a moment's notice. This will make it easy to prioritize your life and turn your digital notes into “thinking tools” that allow you to access brain power you didn’t even know you had. Not only will you know where your insights are, but you’ll also organize your digital life differently than ever before - for action. You’re capturing information, but where do you put everything?
