> Twitter has a low barrier to finishing. On Twitter, a single sentence is a completely acceptable unit of publication... In contrast, most of my blog posts go unpublished because I fear they’re not complete, or not good enough in some dimension.
This is a great point. Getting out quick sketches of ideas is a faster way to learn. Small, incremental steps are key to making consistent progress.
My co-founder and I have been thinking about how to harness this "sketching" mentality when it comes to daily work notes. For our notes app, bytebase.io, we've found what works best is: - create notes in short chunks, like a tweet. - use a designated dumping ground to get ideas down fast, without worrying about where. - use a lightweight process to triage notes into categories (with keyboard shortcuts).
