I currently have a lot of thoughts. It’s 3:20 AM, so I’m going to try to write them down stream-of-consciousness style before I go to bed, and hopefully come up with some tangibles out of them.
- I read this article: Why You Should Start a Blog Right Now - Alexey Guzey, and it was completely inspirational. I then read and took notes on this post: Matter | Thoughts on Meaning and Writing, which I felt even better about. I love this person’s writing style, and the things that they write about I relate to very deeply and personally. #blogging
- Writing is really fucking hard, but you should finish writing things when you’re in the middle of writing them because it’s going to be hard to get that momentum for writing again. #blogging
- When I’ve writing or thinking consciously about producing thoughts and ideas for a couple of days, I notice that my brain subconsciously starts to have so many more ideas. It happens like clockwork. I wish that I documented these thoughts better as I had them in a bathroom, but alas there’s only so much that you can do.
- Read this beautiful short story about regret, friendship, and loss: Caroline | Jonathan’s Nifty Website
- Read this post and found so much value from it: Ask HN: Name one idea that changed your life | Hacker News Used it as a launch point to read more about a bunch of other things. #links #productivity #selfgrowth
- [This could be a blog post of its own] I realized that there’s so much value to 1) try out a bunch of things that are potential solutions to a problem and 2) come back to it a year or so later and think about what still makes an impression afterward vs. what has just dissipated. Time is such a valuable tool for understanding how valuable something is. #blog-ideas
- I’m going to try writing as one of my primary hobbies.
- I always thought that I was doing tags in my Zettelkasten wrong. However, after seeing the tags that other people have used in Pinboard, which are not too dissimilar from mine, I feel way better about the tags that I’m using myself (even though I didn’t change anything about the tags I was using). Feeling like the work that you’re doing fits in socially is such a hugely important thing for productivity.
