Tiago Forte: Building a Second Brain

My summary Mindmap of BASB

I read the nice book from Tiago Forte "Building a Second Brain" and in order to understand the concepts better, I created this small Mindmap as a summary. For this I used PlantUML (see code below) and generated the Mindmap using Org-mode.
