Eight Self-Sabotaging Behaviors

Putting this thread in one place.


🧵 @fortelabs recently finished the opening keynote on the Second Brain summit, which incidentally has a great lineup including a panel discussion on PKM through the lens of ADHD. Ironically, I didn’t quite take notes but I think the themes also feature in this short video:

The live session was fun because of a super engaged chat — everyone had great suggestions for managing some of these (surprisingly common?) behaviors.

I’ll not share the premise (it’s self-explanatory + there’s the video), but the discussion involved three parts:

  1. why it’s an issue;

  2. why-do-we-do-this-to-ourselves;

  3. how do we not keep doing it 😀

I’ll share a tweet-length summary of my takeaways.

Caveat I: 280 chars! Twitter isn’t the platform for nuance. 😅

Caveat II. Should go without saying, but all of this gyaan needs to be tempered with context, which was a frequently used word throughout the session!


Do check out the Second Brain Summit for the remaining sessions.

I think you get a link to a recording if you’re registered for a session, at least this was the case for me with the opening session.

The community attending this is also on a slack.
