One of the most annoying problems I face in my life is information overwhelm. I read all these books, listen to podcasts and watch YouTube videos and don't feel like I'm taking anything away from what I'm consuming. That is until I came across the concept of the second brain what we'll be discussing in this episode of 'Book Club' with Tiago Forte's 'Building a Second Brain'.
