Norm:
How can someone best get started with their own second brain setup? Is it effective to use Google Docs for notes, perhaps with calendar events for quick mobile notes? Does logging reflections daily improve actual memory, or is its value primarily in accessibility?
Martin L:
Does Robb tend to have a note per subject?
thatCharlieDude:
What are Robb's thoughts on why Evernote might be better than Obsidian for the type of data entry he discussed?
Proud Patron Paul:
How does Robb automatically back up his Evernote data to Google Drive and Dropbox?
Scott:
How does Robb automatically sync his backup notes?
Eduardo S:
Can Robb elaborate on how he uses Professor Crane's and Tiago Forte's advice in his system?

There are definitely free options out there, but, for me, Evernote works and is worth the expense. (Robb)

Inside Baseball, deep dive with Robb the Quality. UpNote with a lifetime purchase. Bending Spoons, not keen at all. Yes please for the part 3 Thank you Robb

I think my question about starting off using Google Docs was avoiding with an Evernote recurring subscription. But I guess that would increase the likely likelihood I wouldn’t bail. ;-)
