About

Local nerd sometimes makes YouTube videos. πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦° I'm Elizabeth, a doctor in London. I have a podcast, write and paint when I can. I love to think and talk about learning, creativity and reading. And how to find the time to do those things. I only wear black, change my mind a lot and hate habits :)

Video Description

If you want to join the waiting list for my full course on building this system, you can do so here: https://elizabethfilips.podia.com/validation-cohort-muse I'm following up my first Second Brain video with all the details of how I set mine up - screencasts included. Having this structure for my notes has been one of the best decisions I've ever made and an amazing time investment for me - I do hope anyone else finds this also useful. My other Second Brain Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96pSnIo4nDg&ab_channel=ElizabethFilips PS. For Spanish speakers, this is the translated version! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIsbso8wvJE&t=1208s&ab_channel=ProductividadconRubenLoan Shoutout to Tiago Forte and his amazing course for giving the BEST name to this concept: a Second Brain (although sorry Tiago, PARA didn't work for me). And shoutout to the 'How To Take Smart Notes' book for the actual system that I've adapted for Notion rather than pens and paper. This was my first explanatory video, and apart from struggling a bit with describing things, I also did not do the best job with the audio. Apologies. Advice is very much welcomed.
