PINKCAST 4.28. This is how to take notes and capture ideas like a pro.

I’m a habitual, even obsessive, note-taker. But earlier this year, I read a book that changed the way I think about this lifelong practice.

In Building a Second Brain (Public library | Amazon | BN | Bookshop), Tiago Forte suggests that we view ourselves not just as takers of notes — but as givers of notes to our future selves. When we approach the task like that, our notes become monumentally more useful.

But how do we build a note-taking habit — and what tools should we use for its construction? 

That’s the question Tiago and I answer in the latest Pinkcast.

You can watch the 193-second video by clicking the image below. 

BOOK UPDATE: Uh, it’s an honor just to be nominated!


The Power of Regret has begun landing on several lists of 2022's best books. But the list I care about perhaps the most is one selected by readers.

Good Reads just announced its nominees for the Best Nonfiction Book of 2022, a title that will be bestowed by readers around the world. If you’re so inclined, feel free to visit the site and vote for the Pink book with a teal cover. While you’re there, check out the other great titles, which will fill the holes in your holiday shopping list.

(BTW, Need another gift that combines insight and inspiration? Consider giving a friend or loved one a subscription to MasterClass.)
