Pocket is great for the Capture part of CODE as the widget is built into my web browsers and my phone. I’m a public writer and broadcaster people know what I am interested in and send me links via email and DMs all the time (bless their hearts!).įor years I have been using the bookmarking service Pocket to save all this digital ‘stuff’. I see a lot of interesting stuff on Twitter and via the Reeder app.

You can use whatever tools you want to support this flow.Ģ) To assist with the Organise move in CODE, he suggests a four part filing strategy called PARA: Projects (anything that has a deliverable), Areas (things you have to manage that have no clear endpoint – like teaching or doing taxes), Resources (anything that supports your work) and Archive (things you don’t need right now).įorte encourages you just to start wherever you like, so I started by looking at my web page collection. The acronym stands for Capture (make decisions about what to keep), Organise (keep stuff systematically so you can find it again), Distill (derive meaning and insights from your information) and Express (make stuff with it). There’s a lot of rich detail in the book, but the two principles I found most useful were:ġ) An information processing system he calls CODE. … ok, for the nerds who want to stay (welcome! I witness you!), the rest of the post is a detailed overview of changes to the note taking system I described in my previous post on Information Indigestion. If you’re short on time, trust me, just buy it and don’t even bother reading the rest of the post… I thought I would share a description of my Information Cleanse for people who are interested, but honestly, BASB is both easy and (nerdy) fun to read. I’m also running a whole day workshop based on the principles on 11 November ANU staff and students can book here (sorry – this one is ANU people only).

I talked about BASB on the latest episode of On The Reg with my friend Jason Downs: you can listen here and download our discussion guide here. Like any Wellness Influencer, I’m so excited by my positive life transformation that I want to share it with everyone! I feel like I’ve had an Information Cleanse. That was three weeks ago and everything is … better. I read BASB in two sittings and then spent a week overhauling my systems. I felt both seen and empowered by his insights. BASB is reassuring and non-judgy Forte offers a way of thinking through problems rather than specific solutions.

I’m now starting to benefit from the information firehose instead of drowning.įorte’s BSAB is not really a system, but a theory of digital information management you can apply in any way you like. I bought this book not expecting much (I’ve been burnt before) but Building a Second Brain (BASB) made a huge difference. Well, I might have to revise that statement after reading ‘Building a second brain: a proven method to organise your digital life and unlock your creative potential’ by Tiago Forte. In that post, I more or less admitted defeat on organsing all the information stuff, concluding: “My best advice is to let go of the need to have a perfect ‘system’ and develop a ‘good enough’ set of solutions that work for you”. What I’m describing is a weird (highly privileged of course), 21st century form of anxiety… But perhaps you can relate? Certainly, a lot of people wrote to me after my most recent post on note taking Information Indigestion: the search for the perfect note taking system. I always feel the need for more information, at the same time as feeling completely overwhelmed by what I already have.

I have a bulging hard disk full of stuff that I never look at and a beautiful office full of books, which are mostly unread: I have a terrible information hoarding problem thanks to the fire hose that is social media and a book buying habit. I’ve talked about it a LOT with my friend Jason on our Podcast On The Reg, particularly this one and this one and, more recently, this one. I’ve talked about the issue on the blog here and here. I’m obsessed with the problem of note taking for academic work. You can watch a video about PostAc UK and sign up to get updates on the release here. We will soon start taking orders from UK universities for the PostAc service. We have seven subscribers in Australia and are looking to expand internationally. Thanks for your patience and understanding.**īefore I start, big news! Long time readers will know that I have been working for years with a team here at ANU on PostAc: a job search engine, powered by machine learning, just for researchers. ** Apologies to email subscribers – I accidentally sent a draft version of this post on Saturday.
