Here’s a first look at our official Second Brain Notion Template!

We’re spending this week putting the final touches on it—including step-by-step walkthrough videos to help you get started, customize it, or keep it as simple as possible.

The template has been tested with early users from our Second Brain Membership, and thanks to their incredible feedback, we’ve refined it into the most streamlined, intuitive system for organizing your digital life.

📅 Launch Date: Monday, March 10th at 12 pm ET

🌟 Early Bird Bonus: Get 30% off when you purchase within the first 72 hours!

If you’ve been looking for a plug-and-play Second Brain inside Notion, this is it. And if you’ve tried other Notion setups but found them overwhelming, this will change everything.

Want to be the first to get it when it launches? Click here to let us know, and we’ll send you a heads-up as soon as it’s available.

Hot or Cold? The ‘Katy Perry’ Approach to PARA

The PARA Method—Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives—has been my go-to system for organizing information for over a decade. It’s simple, powerful, and works like magic to keep everything in its place.

But for some, sorting everything into four categories can feel like a lot. That’s why, during our recent Office Hours in the Second Brain Membership, we explored an even simpler approach—one that keeps the essence of PARA while stripping away any complexity.

Enter the Hot or Cold Method (dubbed the ‘Katy Perry’ approach to PARA by one of our members):

• Hot: Active projects—anything you’re working on right now.
• Cold: Everything else—reference materials, templates, dormant projects, archives.

That’s it. No overthinking. Just a clear, intuitive way to keep your focus where it matters while keeping the rest neatly tucked away.

I’d love to hear—does this resonate with you? Have you experimented with other ways to simplify PARA? Hit reply and let me know!

Forget About Setting Goals. Do THIS Instead (the Somatic Method)

This is the method I’ve used for years to figure out what I want to do in the next year of my life.

It’s called the Excitement Map and uses a somatic approach to turn your body's signals into a clear, inspiring vision for the future.

In this video, I show you how to align your physical sensations with your ambitions for a more authentic, fulfilling path forward.
