A second brain for easy to distracted people
“You say time passes! No, alas, time stays, we pass.” – Austin Dobson.
Did you know that the average human attention span has dropped from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds in 2013, according to a study by Microsoft? That's shorter than the attention span of a goldfish, which is 9 seconds.In this article, we will explore what's going on with distracted people and how they can benefit from having a second brain.
In today’s digital age, distractions are just a click away. With countless apps like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram vying for our attention, it’s no wonder many of us find it hard to focus.
For people with ADHD, their natural tendency to get distracted can make this issue even harder to deal with.
1. How Can a "Second Brain" Help Those Who Are Easily Distracted?
For those who find it easy to get sidetracked, minimizing distractions is crucial.
This is where the concept of a “second brain” comes into play. It acts as a dedicated external repository where you can collect, organize, and easily access information and ideas that matter to you.
This system not only helps focus by reducing the need to surf the internet for information but also enhances creativity by linking diverse information, thereby sparking new insights. It further supports memory and learning through effective review and recall processes.
2. What Would an Ideal "Second Brain" Look Like for Distracted Individuals?
However, a truly effective system for the distracted among us needs to do more than just store digital data. It should streamline the entire process of capturing, organizing, and processing information.
Imagine a tool where:
- Capturing Information is a Breeze: You can save information with a single click, without the need to switch between tabs or apps.
- Smart Organization: AI helps suggest tags for your notes, eliminating the manual effort of categorizing each entry.
- Effortless Retrieval: Retrieve any piece of information with a simple query, without the hassle of scrolling through endless notes.
- Integrated Search and AI Assistance: Search the internet and interact with AI within the same app, reducing the need to juggle between different interfaces.
- Interactive Note-Taking: Engage with AI in a chat-like interface to refine and expand your ideas seamlessly.
In this case it’s not just a second brain, it’s a new way, a note-working space that is make us more productive and focused!
3. Where is that Ideal tool?
For a second brain, the material on this is everywhere. You can read Tiago Forte, the founder of Forte Labs and the creator of the second brain methodology, there are four main steps to build a second brain: Capture, Organize, Distill, and Express (CODE).
But what about the ideal solution above?
There are none on that market that meets those requirements right now. That’s why we are building Saner.ai to fill in this gap.
This platform is not just about taking notes; it’s about creating an intuitive note-workspace where information retrieval is effortless. It is also designed to remind you of forgotten details, help discover connections between different pieces of information, and keep everything accessible without ever leaving the app.
It aims to be more than just a note-taking app.
It’s a comprehensive tool designed to transform how we interact with information, making your notes work for you and turning them into a dynamic resource that actively supports your learning and creative processes
