Personal notes
Margins & small thoughts.
Short thoughts, reflections and lessons. Written quickly, kept honestly.

On starting before you're ready
Readiness is a feeling that usually arrives after you begin, not before. The trick is to make the first step small enough that waiting for confidence seems silly.
-
Learning compounds quietly
Twenty minutes a day looks like nothing in a week and like everything in a year. Most progress is invisible until suddenly it isn't.
-
A question to end the week
What did I learn this week that I would not have known if I had stayed comfortable?
-
Notes are for future me
Write things down as if explaining them to someone you care about who has forgotten everything. That person is you, six months from now.
-
Slow is a speed too
Not everything worth doing rewards urgency. Some ideas need to be walked around, slept on and returned to.
