So many times I felt what if I could get a peek into the brains of people I admire do much.
So many times in used to think that guys are so smart, why are they not writing more? Why are they not giving others a peek into their brain.
I think I am a 75 percentiler in many things I am curious about. Don't listen to the bullshit that advises you not to compare. I think that is the worst Advice people dole out. If you don't compare yourself hour will you know whom to learn from and whom to teach?? That is the only way to raising the consciousness of humanity
So I wanted to be a Prolific writer. I chose medium for my writing. I did write. But it was very restricting. The integration between desktop and mobile was screwed up. There was no good option to interlink. There was too much cognitive overload. So I wanted to get the basics right. I asked myself What is the core of this problem.
The answers were
- I needed better way to capture my thought.
- Connect my thoughts.
- Capture them as quickly as possible with the least amount of effort.
- I wanted it to be device independent.
- I wanted to share my thoughts with others easily. Searchable.
- I should be able to publish regularly in an automated fashion.
- I wanted my workflows to be as smooth as possible and as configurable as possible.
- I have written and published decent amount of content and insights with so many restrictions, so if I get this right I will be able to do much more with less.
That is why I proclaim this as Most important project I am working on and it will help me become self aware
