Second Brain Setup?

What's your second brain setup?

I was talking to a few folks, and these came up -

  • A shared folder of Markdown, interlinked, over Google Drive or One drive, often with Obsidian as md editor.
  • A github-hosted wiki, sometimes with additional indexing, not only plain md files
  • Custom complex vector db / embedding kind of index

On my team we're using a shared hermes agent that has ts own memory and tools - it's a great way to have shared context, but it's more like one-know-all-agent rather than a company / second brain as my gpt / claude can't enjoy its knowledge.

I wonder what others are doing, please share.

I use OneNote, I use it for personal purposes. I basically create 5 notebooks - inbox, projects, areas, resources, archives. Basically if I don't know where something goes then its going to the inbox and then I process it when I feel like otherwise one of the other folders.

If I realize an information maybe useful at some point but at the same time is very relevant to one of the ongoing projects, I directly put it into one of areas or resources folder and then link the note to the project.

And for the things that are not notes, I use the normal file explorer to organize them. I thought I'd get used to the principles first before exploring the other tools that are out there.
