Capturing data is the first step in the process of building an actionable second brain. Every day, you sift through a mountain of information and have to keep things to do in your head.

Create more Headspace

When there are too many unresolved things in your mind, it becomes difficult for you to concentrate and do work. Writing things down creates more headspace and lowers your cognitive load.

A person with clear headspace is able to process more information and perform better on complex tasks. Proper management of mental energy will help you with learning and solving problems - meaning that appropriate cognitive load keeps you in the flow.

Get into habit of writing everything down

To make the system work you’ll need to start capturing everything. Capture items in your second brain daily, so you can get back to it later. Daily document is a place where you collect and store all of your incoming information you need to think about, do, and remember. Having your daily document always at hand means you have easy access to all your important notes and tasks, allowing you to stay on top of your work.
