- [Instructor] The whole point…of this weekly productivity course is…to help you organize your time, your energy,…and your attention so you can get more work done…by working smarter and not harder.…However, one of the side effects of getting your work done…in less time is that you have most likely created more space…in your mind to generate new ideas.…And while this is absolutely a wonderful thing,…it's no different than FOMO or information overload…and that your creative ideas can be become overwhelming…and actually decrease your productivity…and increase your anxiety, if you don't have a way…to process and organize them on a regular basis.…
This process of externalizing and categorizing your thoughts…is called creating an external brain.…And in this lesson, I'm going to walk you through…how I have built my external brain workflow…and why it's important.…And then, in a couple of future lessons,…I'm going to break down the main steps…and the apps that I use.…So, first of all, why do you need an external brain?…
