Information management - How to use Gmail as your second brain: "3. USE YOUR NEW 1 gigabyte BRAIN!

When you see a portion of information you want to save from an email discussion list posting or ezine, highlight it, copy it, paste it into an email message and SEND IT TO YOUR BRAIN!

REMEMBER: It isn't necessary to forward the entire message. If you just forward or store the portion that is relevant or useful to you, when it comes time to review or retrieve it you'll find it that much faster with less noise.

TIP: Before you send a message to Your Brain, trim it down, add some notes that will help you later, add some keywords to the bottom of it that you might search under to find it or that you want it to come up in search results under."
