Second Brain template is a more comprehensive solution compared to the GTD template.
While the GTD template transforms Notion into a powerful task management system, the Second Brain template takes it to the next level by combining productivity and knowledge management into a single, cohesive system.
Second Brain template is built on the principles of the Second Brain concept introduced by Tiago Forte and integrates lessons from David Allen’s GTD methodology
If you plan to use Notion for the long term, I recommend the Second Brain template. It has everything you need to adapt and grow with your evolving needs.
