Second Brain

A personal knowledge base for building understanding that compounds over time. Not a note dump - a structured system for capturing knowledge you can actually retrieve and use.

Philosophy

Your second brain should:

Capture understanding, not just facts - Write for your future self who forgot the context
Be retrievable - Structured so you can find things when you need them
Stay evergreen - No private details, credentials, or time-sensitive data
Reflect real experience - Only save what you've actually learned or used

Before saving: Will future-me thank me for this?
