Wishing you a joyful Christmas Eve and a holiday season filled with warmth, love, and the chance to recharge and savor precious moments with family and friends.

We’re gearing up for some exciting updates to our Second Brain Membership in 2025!

Next year, we’re shifting focus to help you not just manage your personal knowledge and productivity, but also design systems that work seamlessly with your team, organization, or even your family.

Together, we’ll explore how to build a Second Brain that makes collaboration smoother, communication clearer, and information easier to find—so you can make a bigger impact where it matters most.

You’ll also love the new monthly themes we’ve planned—like clearing your workspace in January, organizing information with the PARA Method in February, and choosing your tools in March.

Each theme will come with teachings, discussions and resources to help you implement what you learn in real time.

How to Take CODE to the Next Stage

The CODE Method—Capture, Organize, Distill, Express—is a powerful way to transform raw information into tangible outcomes.

It’s how you turn scattered ideas into blog posts, presentations, videos, or completed work projects.

But once you’ve mastered this cycle, what comes next?

The next stage is another loop of CODE.

Here’s what that looks like: Instead of stopping at the final output, you start capturing feedback and analytics.

What’s working? What resonates? What drives results? You’re capturing these insights, organizing them, and distilling them into actionable lessons.

Then, you use those lessons to refine and improve your future outputs.

In other words, you’re building a system that gets better with every iteration.

If you want to apply this, think about where in your work you’re already going through the CODE process reliably.

Now, ask yourself: How can I add a second loop to analyze, refine, and elevate my results?

This isn’t about doing more work—it’s about making your work work harder for you.

Thankfully, technology can do a lot of the heavy lifting, making this process easier and more fun. If apps are already tracking so much of our lives, why not turn that data into a tool for reflection?

Here are some of my favorite shortcuts to use technology as a mirror for self-reflection and self-understanding.
