I do this with two notion pages. One is Idea Inbox for any ideas worth exploring later. Then a second page called Journal which is a running list of entries for each day. I pretty much work out of this page and use Idea Inbox to remember what to write about that day.

I’ve surprisingly seen health improvements as well.

Can you describe some of the health benefits? My "second brain" attempts have pretty much been a mess, but I like your system for its simplicity.

For sure. I’m not exactly sure why but I make more consistent progress towards working out. Maybe I’m more aware.

For instance, one day I’ll write my neck hurts today. When I see that again, I think about why. Then start thinking about posture. I start doing a simple yoga routine. Find one area is super tight. Write it down. I learn my hip flexors need work. Now I’m on that simple yoga routine with some martial arts kick drills and I feel phenomenal!

Mental clarity is greatly improved as well.

The biggest benefit to me is not redundantly thinking about things. When I do, it’s obvious because I see it in writing and can take action.

I tried a bunch of complicated frameworks for organizing. I ended up with as simple as possible.
