- Building a Second Brain, by Tiago Forte | The Vanguard Book ClubLink visible for attendees
Have you ever wished you had two (or more) brains? Are you overwhelmed by the amount of information you need to keep organised? There are a lot of theories floating around about how to keep our lives/schedules/minds in order that it's easy to become cynical about the whole thing. So why don't we go ahead and talk about it? 😊
Join us in June to discuss Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organise Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential by Tiago Forte.

[Note: As usual, when we discuss books about productivity/habits, etc., I'm particularly interested in perspectives from neurodivergent folks, as these books aren't typically inclusive of us.]
Message me to attend in person, as space is limited! Otherwise, join us on Zoom 🙂
This meeting will be facilitated by a full-time Life Coach (yours truly) and former university educator with over a decade of international experience in facilitating discussions across groups from various cultural backgrounds and beliefs. We value inclusivity 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🖤💛❤️✊🏽 and insist on respectful discussion. We are not a 'positive vibes only' crew. We invite you to bring your WHOLE self to the discussion! Wanna suss me out ahead of time to see if we'll 'gel'? Then feel free to have a snoop here ☺:

Discover the full potential of your ideas and make powerful, meaningful improvements in your work and life by Building a Second Brain.
For the first time in history, we have instant access to the world's knowledge. Yet rather than feeling empowered we're often overwhelmed, believing we'll never know or, worse, never remember enough.
But our brains were never meant to be overflowing storage depots. A Second Brain is a trusted and organised digital repository where you can store your thoughts, ideas and note so that they can be developed beyond momentary spark and accessed when you most need them. It removes the mental strain and frees our actual brains to do what they do best: learn, imagine, plan, create.
In this inspiring guide, productivity expert Tiago Forte gives clear direction on how to create a personalised system to leverage your best thinking. From identifying key information to organising your most valued ideas, to retrieving everything swiftly and easily, a Second Brain provides tools to tackle your most important projects and ambitious goals. It puts you in control of your life and knowledge, and allows you to be your most productive and creative self.
----------------------------------------At this meetup, we will discuss Forte's insights on organising our digital lives as well as our own relationships with organisation and productivity culture. Love the book? Hate the book? No time to read the book? You're all welcome! Message me if you'd like to attend in person, as space is limited. But remember, you can always join us on Zoom as well 😊
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Podcast: Thriving Between the Lines - examining personal development books through the lens of intersectionalityFrom the book jacket:
When did you last feel exhilarated and light-hearted? When did you last feel fully alive? When did you last have fun?
In our always-on, tech-addicted lives, the pursuit of fun can feel like an indulgence. When it comes to our priorities, fun is often at the bottom of the list.
Award-winning science journalist Catherine Price argues that, far from being frivolous, fun is the key to living a more meaningful, fulfilling and happier life. If your prioritize fun, you will:
- Be healthier, less stressed and have more energy.
- Find community and a sense of purpose.
- Stop languishing and start flourishing.
- And best of all? You'll enjoy yourself!
Ground-breaking, eye-opening and packed with useful advice, The Power of Fun won't just change the way you think, it will bring you back to life.
'A practical, evidence-backed argument that fun isn't optional, but essential' - Charles Duhigg
'Inspirational, funny, research-packed and full of practical strategies, The Power of Fun is a game-changer' - Arianna Huffington
----------------------------------------At this meetup, we will discuss Price's insights relating to fun as well as share our own. Love the book? Hate the book? No time to read the book?
