![[CODE Method in Obsidian Callout]] The CODE framework is [[My Prominent People/Tiago Forte]]'s flagship process for managing the information we come across on a daily basis. His solution is to externalize ideas in a [[Second Brain]], letting us use our primary brain to think and create freely. ## Stages - [[Capturing information|Capture]] - [[Organizing our notes|Organize]] - [[Summarizing Content|Distill]] - [[Applying information|Express]] ## Principles ### Divergence and convergence Capture and organize is to diverge and spread out, distill and express is to converge and narrow the scope. #### [[Idea Divergence]] #### [[Idea Convergence]] Capturing and organizing your information and ideas both fall under convergence. To learn how these steps are implemented into the vault, refer to [[PKM Code Framework in Obsidian]]. ## References - [[Building a Second Brain Application]]
