Maybe you're tired of dealing with Tana's complexity all by yourself.
Or you're missing a trusted structure to easily use Tana.
Maybe you just can't find the right methodology to make things work.
Either way, it's not your fault.
Tana is super powerful, but in order to truly unlock 🔓🔑 Tana's power, you need a solid understanding of two components:
⏳ But there's a challenge here...
Learning this takes a lot of time.
Probably months of study and work. And I understand you do not have time to do this yourself.
Especially because I know you're looking for solution with extreme quality.
What to expect from Tana Holistic Second Brain System.
Tana Holistic Second Brain is an innovative approach to manage your entire life in one single place: Tana.
It presents a Holistic Second Brain Methodology to manage your life in a totally interconnected way, and a Tana Template to bring the methodology to life with Tana's incredible ability to connect and organize information.
Together, they act like a Life Operating System (Life OS).
A Life OS is a holistic picture of your life. A map where your life's areas and systems are kingdoms, and the roads are the connections between them.
Life emerges from the interactions between these different kingdoms, and a very powerful realization is that you can control how these systems (kingdoms) interact with each other.
Tana Holistic Second Brain System is an attempt to connect the different areas of your life in a creative, productive and meaningful way. It's a twist to transform your Tana workspace into a powerful living system where your ideas flow with ease, you can retrieve anything and you consistently get work done.
Tana is a vehicle to live a purposeful, organized and impactful life.
It's not only a productivity tool, but also one to seek growth, fulfillment, and consistent progress.
The methodology proposes a holistic approach, where areas of your life are connected, and cycles dictate the rhythm of life.
The first one is the Holistic Second Brain Cycle.
A purposeful way to manage your life and knowledge, going beyond projects, areas, and book notes.
This Cycle is divided into 4 stages:
You always start with a 🔭Vision. And always finish by looking back at both your progress and how it's aligned with your initial vision (🧭Review).
This provides you with 🌿 Fulfilment.
And in the middle of the cycle, that's where the ACTION happens and 📈Outputs are generated.
You 📘 Plan years, months, and weeks, and ⚔️Execute on them.
And since Execution is the most important stage...
The System comes with a very special Methodology for the ⚔️Execution stage.
The CORE Cycle.
Tiago Forte's frameworks, CODE and PARA were specifically adapted to Tana, to make the most of Tana's Supertags, and powerful data structure.
The main result is the CORE Cycle. The #note supertag comes with a built-in data structure to retrieve notes exactly when you need them.
Retrieve your notes when working on projects, writing a piece of content, or managing your business as usual.
The Template is made up of Hubs that represent major life categories. Each Hub has Searches and Dashboards to help you manage different types of knowledge.
All the Hubs are internally connected so that important information appears exactly when you need it.
Each Hub represents a system in your life, and are all present somehow in the diagrams described above.
The template is made up of 80+ Supertags, 140+ Fields, 30+ AI Commands, and 20+ Supertag Dashboards. These are all distrubuted across the Hubs, and help you create and move data from one place to another in Tana.
In summary, Tana Holistic Second Brain is a living system, a Life OS in Tana, to help you make sense of life's complexity, by adopting a holistic approach to life.
This interconnected system is a result of hundreds of hours designing and building this template, and thousands more learning about tools like Tana, and researching about Knowledge Management and AI for my Master's Thesis.
But, of course, you don't need all of this!
You can download the System now and start using it immediately.
Always find your #notes.
The methodology uses a note-centric approach to Knowledge Management. Every important knowledge is a #note.
The #note Supertag comes with Mechanisms of Retrieval to send your notes to important places.
Organize with ease and always find everything.
Work on a Projects with power and ease.
The #project Supertag comes with a Project Dashboard that propels you to Action and brings together everything you need to work on a Project.
All Notes about the Project, the Deliverables you need to finish, Tasks you need to execute, Decisions you've made and more.
Use your Notes to make progress.
Keep track of all your Areas in life.
The #area Supertag comes with a Dashboard to find your #notes, #tasks and more.
But there's more!
Areas become Deliberate Areas, with a place to define your #vision, #purpose and #strategies for important Areas in life.
Plan using multiple time horizons.
Plan any period. Years, quarters, months, weeks and days. Be prepared and always know what your next objectives are.
The #plan Supertag has relationships defined to other #plans, #objectives, #wins and is connected to other parts of the Template, for you to easily plan your next actions.
Always be in control.
The next evolution of Resources is here.
AI Topics are now your companion to find notes according to Topics that you are interested in.
Create a list of #topics in and AI will add #topics from this list to your #notes, #links, #quotes, and #content.
Create an extra layer to always find your notes.
Talk straight into your Second Brain.
Use 6 types of #audio notes with custom AI Commands to extract, analyze, tag, plan, generate, and structure your notes.
Extract specific types of knowledge from #audio notes and add tags automatically for #tasks, #reflections, #ideas for content creation, #ideas for brainstorm sessions, and more.
Speak with Tana Capture, and let AI do the rest.

Let's get familiar with each other!
I have a Master's degree in Computer Science, but I decided to become a digital creator.
My name is Felipe, but I'm better known as Fis. For more than 20 years now.
At that time, I was already an extremely curious child, but also very shy. My thoughts and emotions were always much more intense than my ability to process them, and because of that, I couldn't handle social situations very well.
Luckily though, I've always been a savvy thinker, interested and gifted in math, logic, sciences, and pretty much anything that involved rapid processing of information. This led me to develop multiple interests over time, and took me on a learning journey.
I am very intense in my pursuit for knowledge and understanding. I have always been.
More recently, this has led me to study the art and science of Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) as a means to make sense of the complexity of everything I wanted to understand.
For over 3 years, I have dedicated myself religiously to learn about PKM, and then build PKM Systems.
I've done everything; from studying (a lot), implementing systems, using them, not using them, changing tools, and making mistakes; to coaching clients, writing a 160-page master's thesis about adding AI to PKM Systems, teaching the Building a Second Brain Methodology to 300+ people, becoming the project manager of BASB in Brazil, traveling alongside Tiago Forte for 10 days in Brazil, and finally, now... building this template.
I won't lie, I've arrived at a very interesting place, and I learned a lot in the process.
But it was not always easy.
At a given moment in 2022, I was going through an awful period, including no financial income, no tangible progress, lack of confidence, and a knowledge management system that was falling to pieces. Picture this: for my master's thesis I had developed an AI algorithm to automatically create connections with Readwise highlights, and navigate them seemingly using Obsidian (and now, Tana), but even so, I wasn't seeing results.
I had a fantastic system for Knowledge Management.
But even that didn't stop me from feeling super frustrated with how much progress I was having.
You see, I had an amazing Knowledge Management, but was lacking Action Management. I could navigate all my knowledge, which made me super knowledgeable, but I was frequently procrastinating, overwhelmed, or insecure.
I was not converting knowledge into action and progress.
⏩️ Fast-forward to the future, up to October 2023:
Now, I've been using Tana for 10+ months, and I'm more productive than I've ever been in my entire life. I've become one of the first Tana Ambassadors and one of the first Facilitators to teach Tiago Forte's methodology, Building a Second Brain.
In 2023, I've launched The Fis Letter, my personal bi-weekly (or so) letters, and recently, an online Magazine called Collider with my friends Andrew and Bianca. And now, this awesome Template you're looking at right now.
On top of that, I'm also working as Project Manager for Tiago Forte, to bring his methodology Building a Second Brain to my home country, Brazil, having already executed a highly successful book launch in Brazil, and preparing to launch his course in Portuguese.
I won't lie. This is a lot to manage.
But so far I have been able to handle everything. Definitely not without mistakes, but I’m absolutely not lacking progress anymore.
Part of that is because of Tana, but the other part is because I've heavily improved my system since last year. I've managed to create a simple and effective workflow that I can use regularly to always support my pursuits and to avoid overwhelm.
And I'm about to share it all with you.
