Hi, I'm Tiago Forte
I’m the founder of Forte Labs, and the question that drives me is, “How can humans reach their creative potential?”
To answer that question, I teach and write about new ways for you to thrive in our connected, digital world.
Over the last decade, I’ve helped thousands of people build a Second Brain.
It’s a trusted place outside your head where you can collect and organize your most important ideas and insights, and use them to do your best work.
The ultimate goal of building a Second Brain is to help you lead a more fulfilling life with more ease and less stress.

Success Stories
How People From All Walks of Life Benefit From a Second Brain
Building a Second Brain has freed me up from needing to keep everything inside of my mind. It's made me think like a CEO and made me a better professional.
With a Second Brain, the chaos now lives in an external system. Which means my first brain is free of anxieties and is a much better place to be. My relationships with others (and myself) are better for it too.
Building a Second Brain has given me the tools to have less stress and anxiety. My tasks now take 1/3 or 1/4 of the time and I'm able to have weekends, Friday mornings, and evenings free for my relationship, family and friends. I'm even enjoying my hobbies like cooking more!
I loved the Building a Second Brain course. I wish I started 40 years ago. If I had, today, it would be one of my most valuable tools and possessions.
This is the best investment I’ve made in improving my personal output, productivity, and knowledge management. All of the materials taken together are phenomenal, and I’m really happy with what I’ve learned from the course.
Having a Second Brain has freed me from brainfog. I have a precise view of my projects and an amazing system of not just „getting things done“ but „GTD with a happy brain!"
I feel as though I have increased my IQ by 20 points. Of course this isn't true, but it feels this way because I am thinking so much more clearly and with so much more relaxation and concentration.
Building a Second Brain is like a fuel injection. I'm ready to create, design, and get things done!
The Building a Second Brain course was a game-changer. In the past, all I did was collect and lose information. Now I have a system! Data is not isolated anymore and everything connects. I can feel how my creativity flows freely and my delivery is not only faster, my content is more complex.
BASB has literally changed my life. Every time I take this course I get a new job, that's more specialized and better aligned with my goals and beliefs.
