mastodon 4.7.3Author of "A System for Writing" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D18J83VB PS, I really enjoy talking with people. Hmu in the feed. Also, backgammon.
At the end of every (read: most) days, I leave notes to myself telling me what to work on the next day. I always write as if I'm speaking to someone else. That way, it reads like a suggestion from a very reliable person who knows what's up. This lil switch from first to second person is incredibly helpful and motivating.
Wanna read an excerpt from the book I'm working on? This is from chapter 2, which takes a close look at how to handle and craft the information we capture in main notes. https://writing.bobdoto.computer/crafting-the-information-you-capture-in-main-notes/
When it comes to main notes, the primary unit of information should be, above all else, functional. It doesn't need to be a certain length, satisfying an arbitrary "size," nor does it need to capture the “essence” of an “idea” reduced to its “barest essentials.” The primary unit of information need only be:
1. Articulated enough to be understood
2. Reinforced enough to be reliable
3. Limited enough in scope to be connectable and queryable
