My new obsession is getting up to speed with Notion, so I have multiple creators popping up on my KZfaq. Of the many, I’m pretty sure you’re my fave, Carter! I was telling my husband just tonight how much I enjoy your content. And I LOVE how you say “button”. Such a cool accent (I’m Aussie, for context). Thank you for all of your amazing help! 😊

This is such a well-thought-out system. I took some time out to make the system in its entirety from the walkthrough. I totally enjoyed building it. Soooooooooo much fun. Really appreciate the value that you provide to the Notion community. I really think that $150 is worth it for people who can't make it themselves since you have simplified so many aspects of project and life management. I have tried so many tools but none of them give the seamless feel that this does. Great job!!!

Awesome template and community. 10/10 Recommend!

I got 2.0 and this is useful for managing my daily personal tasks, goals and the like. Carter has done a great job putting this together. It works and is customizable. I use it daily. Well done!

Pb2.0 gave me so much value within the first week of using it. Great work and thank you!

Thank you very much for these insights in your Second Brain 3.0 made in Notion. There are many ideas to adapt for my Notion Life Use.

I love how streamlined this system is. Building the template is one thing, but just being able to think this way is really impressive. The sub-area idea is an awesome change. Since you didn't touch on it in the video, I'm curious how "category" and "notebook" function within that database. What's the difference between the two and how do you typically use them? Thanks for showing us your incredible work!

I was going to make this myself, but then I started and realized how long this took you and decided to buy it. Thanks for this.

I love this set up. Keep up the great work!

I literally spent like 10-15 hours and recreated your whole Second Brain 2.0 (down to the icons, divs, callouts, etc) by watching your vids...and then u went an leveled up 🙃. Jk anyway thanks a lot for putting these tutorials out there, it really helped me get organized and the system is a game changer. I've even been able to exercise, walk 12k steps, and drink 100 oz of water a day like 80-90% of days thanks to this system. I tinkered with a Project function where you can add notes/actions/bookmarks on the fly to a project but I think your Topic section achieved essentially the same thing. Haven't watched the 3.0 video much yet but I'm interested to see how you simplified it. Random question for you, have you looked into Obsidian at all?

Your new 2nd brain looks amazing! Thanks for sharing what you've created. I'm not ready to take the plunge into the paid version (needed for some functionality) but am starting small. However, I am wondering, since you simplified down to one add action button & one resource button, does that mean that all your businesses & personal tasks are in one task database? They would have to be for everything to show on your daily to-do list & calendar views, right? I guess I'm a little unclear how the areas & subareas work.

Love this set up - simple and effective 😀

God bless you bro, the work you produce is amazing :))

Great video! - but good lord the whip pans got me feeling a little motion sickness. 🤣

I've been pondering a question and can't quite wrap my head around it: Why did you decide to consolidate your databases in that manner? I recall you had multiple databases, which are now merged into these four here. I've built my own 'second brain,' but for me, there are specific considerations since I primarily need to manage knowledge and academic papers as a researcher. (I have mostly rebuild your second brain which is astonishingly amazing!) What are the advantages of using a single database instead of several specialized ones?

Thank you Carter. Great as always, excited to use the updated template. I sent a request in Skool a couple of days ago, but I'm still waiting for approval. When will it be approved? I'm just anxious to try the new features. Thank you so much.

Oh man your work is outstanding !! It helped me transformed my notion set up in a way that is just too good ! I would love to have access to your animated banners ? Do you sell them separately ? I would love to have them Thanks ! 😇

Hi productive dude, I have been watching your video for the past months on all the latest updates regarding Notion, I think it’s great that you bring in different prospective on how many can make use of this amazing tool to create their unique workflows and connect to different application plus bringing in some automation. With regards to this 3.0 template, how will I be able to get a student discounts or do you offer educational pricing for school and staff. Look forward to hear from you. Thanks

On the verge of purchasing this template, but wishing you could have shown specifically how meetings fit into this workflow. What does the meeting action look like, how do you incorporate agendae and minutes and action items that stem from those meetings? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the whole process behind it. Quick questions, what are components? Are they just a linked view of a Database?

It took some days to watch this video. Idk if it's adhd but I had anime and Minecraft going on too

Nice video. I have a few questions.... I need to organise hundreds of post ideas for LinkedIn. I need to tag by topic and style. Will this system keep them more organised than just dumping them into a Google Doc? Can you have social media planning calendar and a task calendar? (perhaps this is just handled by filters). What happens if you do a major update on the template... will I need to export everything and re import it again?

I❤ this conteúdo

do you ever run any discounts? I have been looking around for a good second brain template. I really like yours compared to some of the others but $150 is a bit too expensive for me.

I hope this live going to explain more details about second brain.

What do you mean by second brain please let me easily

I've just purchased this. waiting for my membership to go through so I can download the template. Would I be able to integrate my google calendar with the calendar on notion?

pellegrino has salt, which is not as hydrating as regular water

I'm currently using the PARA organization method. Am I correct in that Sub Areas are similar to Projects? To give an example, I have an Area called Product Management (what I do), but I have multiple Clients, each with their own Projects and Goals. What would be the best way to set this up in your template? Really love the design and functionality!

How did you link the other pages into your Focus, Plan etc. view? When I try to make the left "hub" stay it creates new pages within the page but doesn't link back to the original

Great video on PB3.0 - how would I go about updating from 2.0 to 3.0?

Hi Carter, can 2.0 be upgraded to the 3.0 version or are they each a stand-alone version, meaning if I want to use the 3.0 version, do I need to put all the data from the 2.0 into the 3.0? What is the main reason why I should switch to the 3.0 version if I already use the 2.0 version of your 2nd Brain?

does anyone know how to access the template once you pay for it?

Thanks.

your buy link is not working?

I paid and still cant access template. What is the deal??

Is there a way to order properties? I need to see them in order to follow but it keeps showing me in alphabetical order, even when I open it and rearrange the inside by time of the day I want it to be done (ex: skincare first, then coffee, then clients checklist), but when I go back to the gallery view it shows alphabetic which is a big problem for me cause that's not how my brain works hahaha thoughts?

I learn notion but i don't understand formula please help me

What are the Entities in the Sub Area for?

Can I upgrade from v2?

Buh-uns

Sorry, this $150 pricing is so far out of whack vs. the pricing of similar products by people like Thomas Frank that it's almost funny. I have no issue supporting creatives but I'm not into being gouged. Best of luck on your future endeavors.
