Creative Blocks

Creative Blocks

I have thousands of notes and still stare at a blank page sometimes. Creative blocks aren't solved by more capture - here's what actually unsticks me.

Creative Output

Creative Output

Notes are inventory. Output is the point - blog posts, sermons, code, dinner experiments. Here's how I push from archive to shipped.

Distraction-Free Writing

Distraction-Free Writing

Fullscreen, plain text, notifications off. I don't need a special app - I need fewer excuses to leave the sentence.

Drafting in Public

Drafting in Public

I publish rough ideas before they're finished. Drafting in public keeps me honest and makes the garden grow.

Evergreen Notes

Evergreen Notes

I write evergreen notes to stay useful - timeless phrasing, clear claims, updated when reality changes.

Formatting for Readability

Formatting for Readability

Dense walls of text don't get reread. I format notes like I'd format a post - headings, bullets, bold for the point.

From Note to Book

From Note to Book

Books aren't written; they're compiled. My path from atomic notes to long-form is outline, link, expand.

Intellectual Sourcing

Intellectual Sourcing

I cite sources in notes not for academia - so I can trust my own synthesis and find the original six months later.

Progressive Summarization

Progressive Summarization

I don't rewrite whole notes when I distill - bold, then highlight, then summarize when I reuse.

Synthesis as a Goal

Synthesis as a Goal

Collecting quotes isn't PKM for me. Synthesis is merging sources into what I believe and can defend.
