[0:00] writer Carroll is best known for
[0:02] inventing bullet journaling a practice
[0:04] which transforms any notebook into a
[0:06] place for mindfulness productivity and
[0:08] note making but what you might not know
[0:10] is how Ryder combines this system with
[0:13] this one is digital world I need
[0:15] something to help me remember all the
[0:18] things that resonate with me my second
[0:21] brain is just a way of making sure that
[0:23] my good ideas remain tucked away
[0:26] somewhere that I can access them Thiago
[0:28] sat down with Ryder and got him to
[0:29] reveal all the ways he structures his
[0:32] second brain the physical and digital
[0:33] system that guides his personal and
[0:35] creative life but first what is a bullet
[0:38] Journal
[0:40] I like to think of it as a mindfulness
[0:42] practice that's disguised as a
[0:44] productivity system so I kind of have
[0:45] this rule where anything that comes into
[0:47] my mind goes right into the notebook and
[0:49] then I can figure out where to put it
[0:51] later every time you ask yourself where
[0:53] does this go you have the answer you
[0:55] just bring in your notebook and it's
[0:56] always compatible it's this idea of not
[0:58] having to worry about where your
[1:00] thoughts go and then the paper notebook
[1:01] is just the the physical manifestation
[1:03] of that philosophy yeah it's basically
[1:06] the tool we use to execute a way of
[1:08] thinking a bullet Journal is created by
[1:10] recording your notes as bullets in any
[1:12] blank journal in bullet Journal we have
[1:14] different kinds of bullet points right
[1:15] we have tasks events and nodes but that
[1:18] way I can very quickly skim the margin
[1:20] of the page to see like what do I have
[1:21] to do wha
