Summary

About this module

Da Vinci left behind 30,000 pages. Edison documented 5 million ideas. Einstein filled 80,000 pages with his "thought experiments." Your brain can only handle 7 thoughts at once - yet you're trying to juggle 48 per minute. This invisible battle is destroying your mental clarity, and adding more productivity apps only makes it worse. In this module, you'll discover how Da Vinci, Edison, and Einstein solved this exact problem, leaving behind a combined 5 million+ pages of documented thoughts.
