ThoughtsTREams

Currently I see there are two functions of writing:

1. Writing to think
2. Writing to communicate

Below are things I write to understand.

Once I did, I will rewrite and publish them to the blog, where I write to communicate.

I do want to publish more evergreen notes, and the only way to have more work worth communicating is to do more of the thinking work.

So to force myself to work with the garage door up more, I’m going to try something.

Every day I will start at least one draft of new note, append the public link here, pick one undeveloped insight (that I consider worth thinking about) from my scrapbook, and start writing (thinking).

And because I’ll be doing it on a self-hosted CodiMD, you can watch me write in real time and even collaborate. I have removed almost all friction for this process to go, thanks to codimd-cli, markpress, and nvAlt.
