  @GeoEng51, Building a Second Brain is a course on note-taking and information management by Tiago Forte. It isn't a cheap; runs something like $1500-2500. This is the course link: https://www.buildingasecondbrain.com

  You can find reviews online from people who took the course. I haven't taken the course so can't tell either of you if it is worthwhile or not.

  @davidrcalvert: I did bookmark a write-up from someone who tried to recreate the course from Forte's free content online a while back. You can find the article here: https://tanners.blog/2020/03/23/diy-second-brain/

  @papa Thanks for this! I've been intrigued by this course, and wondered if there were any "free" versions available. This is a great resource... Thanks again!

  You might also find two other bookmarks I have interesting:
  1) Illustrated notes from someone who took the course. I just thought her very visual note-taking approach was neat, but it's also a good summary of the course: https://maggieappleton.com/basb

  2) Forte has a good write up of Sohnke Ahrens "How to Take Smart Notes" (aka the only English-language book on Zettelkasten, for now). Here's the link: https://fortelabs.co/blog/how-to-take-smart-notes/
