The Second Brain Operating System

If you're someone who spends 2-3 hours every day switching between Notion, Obsidian, ChatGPT and Google Docs—copying, pasting and explaining the same things to AI over and over again while still feeling guilty for not accomplishing much, then this is for you.

I know by this point

• You're tired of losing brilliant ideas because you can't capture them fast enough
• You’ve built and abandoned at least 3 "perfect" productivity systems in Notion
• You’ve spent countless hours organizing & linking your thinking in Obsidian

So what led me to the Second Brain OS?

I fall in the 1% of IBS patients who get chronic headaches that feel like electric shocks to the head.

Some flare ups leave me so emotionally exhausted that I don’t feel like working at all. Which means, often I have no choice but to take a break.

Brain fog is no stranger to me.

‘Feeling out of it’ is the norm and often, I have to work really hard to get back to my past thoughts.

So I did what every wise person does: watch hours of ProductivityTube and glue different apps to Notion— and at that time, it seemed like the best way to fuse your brain with your computer.

It was a painful process because the productivity magicians on YouTube wanted me to buy their Notion template. They had me believe it’s what makes them so great at taking notes, writing and creating content every day.

But there was still a catch. Even after I made the purchase, I had to adopt their complicated way.

Projects, Archives, Resources, Articles, Prompts, Meals, Furniture, Workouts— everything HAS TO HAVE a defined place to go. OR every [[idea]] you capture needs to be typed a certain way to feel like “it belongs” with your [[past knowledge]].

I spent hours organizing my knowledge— tagging, linking, and sorting everything into a perfect system.

And I had fallen for the “filling trap”: the more something (or someone) makes you work, the harder it (or they) become to let go of.

It’s a powerful technique based on the sunk cost fallacy. It’s also every productivity influencer’s dirty secret.

The more they fill your days with complication, the more you think of them and how they do things.

At some point, you start to believe there’s no other way and no other option.

Have you ever had a toxic relationship? It’s no different!

They fill your days with drama. Initially you hate it. But then you get used to it. When they disappear (even for a day) you feel empty. Because they sink you in, making it hard to let go.

For a moment, it felt like these tools had become an extension of my brain.

And I couldn’t live without them, no matter what it cost every month.

But 6 months in, it hit me.

I spend most of my time bringing together my thoughts and ideas, rather than actually using them.

The result? My second brain didn’t leave time for being creative and expressing my ideas by hitting publish.

The pursuit of order had made me a slave to information. And I still couldn’t find what I needed, when I needed it.

Woof!

It’s backwards.

• You’re made to pay to work harder
• You have to remember where things go
• You have to go against your natural thought process

Think about how your brain connects ideas.

You're not sitting there manually drawing lines between neurons saying "this thought goes with that memory." Your brain does it automatically, instantly, and often in surprising ways.

So early 2024, I broke up with all these beliefs. I changed my goal in life.

I don’t want to be hunched up in front of a screen, tangled in a knowledge graph and pretend that my “perfect system” is actually making me productive.

While it’s fun to show off your fancy Obsidian neural network or your Notion dashboard that looks like a Bloomberg Terminal spanning 6 screens, it’s a pain to use them.

Because here’s what you ACTUALLY need on a daily basis:

• You need to be able to add ideas without having to think
• You need to be able to search & find related ideas by typing in plain english
• You need to be able to pull your knowledge when conversing with ChatGPT or Claude

Letting go helped me architect the Second Brain OS differently. No tags. No Folders.

With the Second Brain OS, my days are now "unfilled".

All that petty overload from micro tasks that never get accounted for has disappeared.

Because I don't find myself in loops of searching, copying, pasting or doing mindless work.

Instead of spending 20 minutes hunting down that "one thing I know I saw somewhere", I just ask and get it instantly.

Why?

I've designed it to relate things by meaning when they are captured, so I never have to link my thinking.

This is called semantic clustering, which means the Second Brain OS draws context from the idea and matches it to an already present, related family in your knowledge.

And by giving a Large Language Model (e.g GPT, Claude) access, I can find exactly what I am looking for and exactly when I need it. Because everything is already related by meaning, context and connection.

I've also added a simple shortcut to add, update and grow my Second Brain OS whenever I get a thought. I hit a button, type and leave the heavy lifting to it.

This makes it easy for me to get back into a deep state of focus even on days when it's otherwise impossible.

Instead of making you work harder to organize everything, the Second Brain OS makes forgetting your superpower.

It gives you 3 powerful abilities which put you back in control:

• You can capture ideas as and when they happen
• You can search years of your knowledge to find related ideas in seconds
• You can pull your knowledge directly into ChatGPT without the endless copy/paste dance
  

And this becomes a foundation for digital note taking and any kind of content creation, from newsletters on Medium to reels on Instagram.

Every time you capture an idea, the Second Brain OS connects your past knowledge automatically. And all your notes exist in two forms:

• As plain text that you can read
• As AI-friendly data that connects to everything you know

Because of this, you’re not chained to one specific provider like Notion, Google, Microsoft or Open AI.

Which means you can instantly find what you need by having a natural conversation with your knowledge WITH ANY LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL— just like you'd chat with a friend who remembers everything you've ever told them.

It’s like Google Search mapped to your brain.

The version you get today is pre-configured to work with Notion & ChatGPT, so you don’t have to download another app. All you need to get started is a ChatGPT+ subscription.

By day 3, ChatGPT will understand your exact thought process in the first conversation and help you find precisely what you're looking for in under 10 seconds.

So is this for you?

It’s for the overwhelmed and busy knowledge worker who wants to automatically organise their knowledge, use AI to search years of notes and distribute it on platforms like Medium, Substack, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook while maintaining their authenticity.

To spell it out clearly, it’s made for

• Content creators
• Digital writers
• Soloprenuers
• Consultants
• Freelancers
• Influencers
• Academics
• Coaches

The Second Brain OS is designed to conduct and make the business of information easy.

When you purchase the Second Brain OS, you'll get personal guidance from me over 4 days (30 minutes each) to upgrade your daily workflow.

Day 1 (30 minutes): 10 Apps One System

• Be able to to search, find and chat with ideas related to what you just added

Day 4 (30 minutes): Creative Flow

I will show you a modern approach to digital note taking, which means you will never have to link your thinking.

You can say goodbye to tags, folders and labels for good.

You will get an over the shoulder video of how I read articles and youtube videos, while capturing insights that instantly connect to everything I already know.

By the end, you will

Let’s Recap Everything That Comes With Your Purchase Today

• The Notion Second Brain OS Integration: a single home for all your knowledge with 0 complication
• The Todoist Second Brain OS Integration: lightning fast capture with no limit to adding ideas
• The GitHub Second Brain OS Integration: import your past notes, because there are no storage limits
• Unlimited search by context & meaning with the SBOS CustomGPT: you can make 1000's of searches a day and get results in < 3 seconds each time
• Unlimited “Add to my Second Brain OS” during conversations with the SBOS CustomGPT. Send anything you like to your knowledge during the chat and see it appear instantly in Notion as well

And that’s not all. The Second Brain OS customGPT can crawl youtube videos & website articles as well. You guessed it, there’s not limit to that either.

For a pay what you want price, you get 30 days of unlimited access. Not to mention, the 4 day email course will land in you inbox and walk you step by step.

It’s self-paced and perfect if you want to follow along, while doing it yourself.

But I know some of you just don’t have the time to spread this over 4 days.

You’re a lot like me. Impatient and ambitious because there are no slow days in your life. Which is why I’d love to get on a call with you and make sure all the steps are done in an hour.

If that’s you, then for $97 you get 1 year of unlimited access and a 1:1 call where I hand-hold you to the point of completion.

Since you’re that serious, I want to add one more thing to your Second Brain Operating System (for free!)

We will connect your Second Brain OS to your Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive so that you can search files by their names and find the exact one you’re after— even at the airport when immigration is giving you the death stare.

But if you’re someone who regularly writes online or creates content, then wait. You should pick neither of these options.

While ChatGPT is great for bringing your ideas together, it makes you work very hard when it comes to fine tuned writing. It’s ability to write hooks, newsletters, emails, threads, etc isn’t quite Al dente.

Because of that, I personally shifted to Claude which handles the nuances of copywriting and social media content far better.\

So if your business runs on creating content, then I suggest you use Claude from Day 1.

Claude does not offer customGPT’s. Instead, they have something called Model Context Protocol which is even better.

Your Second Brain OS won’t just be limited to searching and updating to your knowledge. Instead, you will get the option to add “dynamic actions” to it.

Dynamic actions allow your Second Brain OS to interact with applications on your behalf. Think tools like AirTable, HeyGen, Calendly, etc.

And we can do this modularly. I will share a library of actions with you, which you can pick & choose from. As soon as you add an action (purchased separately), your Claude Desktop will immediately be updated.

Because your business functions depend on AI, you get Claude and lifetime access for $197. And why are these prices are stupidly low?

I am going to be straight forward: I have every intention to double my prices in the next 2 months.

In fact, the pay what you want is going to start at $97 from Q2 2025. The 1 year Access will go to $197. And the option with Claude will start at $497.

I am writing this on 28th January 2025, which means that we are ~60 days away from the price hike.

Right now, my goal is to create a strong impression and narrow down people who are serious.

Serious about what? The same goal I have right now in life: creating a business around my knowledge.

Why am I telling you this?

If you look at these prices and think "I'll wait and see"— don't. This isn't for you. And thanks, you’ve made my audience clearer.

2025 isn't for people who "want to see how it goes" or "might start creating content someday."

And I'm not interested in tire-kickers or note-taking hobbyists. I want people who are dead serious about monetizing their knowledge.

I used to be the person who just takes notes. I am not anymore. I am done with keeping all my thoughts in a private place. And I am 100% confident about my ability to solve very complex information problems.

So I am going public. It’s the IPO of my knowledge and it starts with Second Brain OS. Because everything great begins with a direct connection to specific knowledge.

What’s to come are a range of digital products, especially AI Agents that simplify life for the one person business. And those are only going to land on people who are serious.

So if you're tired of watching others cross the $10,000/month mark while you're still "organizing your notes," then let's move.

I am making it a no brainer for you to enter today.

March 28th. The prices double. Your choice.
