Capture to inbox, organize by project, distill on reuse, express weekly - CODE and PARA in one loop.
Key Concept
- CODE and PARA in one daily-to-weekly loop - capture daily, express weekly.
- Organize by project, distill when you reuse - do not polish notes nobody reads yet.
- Express weekly closes the loop - capture and organize are not enough.
Level 1 - Recognize
The second brain workflow is CODE and PARA in one daily-to-weekly loop - capture daily, organize by project, express weekly.
Level 2 - Explain
Save ideas every day, sort them by project, ship something every week - one loop, not two habits you quit.
Level 3 - Use
Run capture daily and one express output weekly before you add another organize pass - notes nobody ships become guilt storage.
Level 4 - Connect
Because capture and organize cannot close the loop alone, express weekly is the limit that turns a second brain into more than an archive.
Level 5 - Create
Building a Second Brain names the stack - daily capture plus weekly express, or the second brain becomes an archive.
Examples
- Links land in one inbox all week; weekly review empties it and ships one note - one loop, not separate capture and organize rituals I quit.
- Friday night is capture everything in one jar; Sunday is sort, toss, and file what is worth keeping.
