read this somewhere a few months back and itâs stuck with me. i have a horrible memory, so now iâve started writing everything down.
my own little commonplace book for my thoughts and other peopleâs thoughts. my own little second brain (check out tiago forte đđ)
WRITE THINGS DOWN!! youâll thank yourself when youâre feeling uninspired, because chances are your brain had an idea a week ago, a month ago, even a year ago, that can fix that.

Not every idea is a good idea. But maybe a small part of it is, or maybe it can grow into one, or maybe it will lead to the next good idea, or maybe you just need to get all those lousy ideas out of the way so the good ones have room to breathe.
Or maybe it just feels good to write and this fixation on good vs bad ideas is the thing thatâs in the way.

Before you guys ask, yes Iâve been doing the morning pages from âThe Artistâs Wayâ LOL
Real talk though, the structure of the book has been super helpful in structuring my own creative process, and one of the best possible things itâs done for me so far is to learn how to write and create, even when youâre ânot in the moodâ or youâre mentally blocked. On the days I canât think of shit, I just start rambling about gossip and chairs and people watching (or whatever misc thing is on your mind) and all of a sudden a new project idea hit me out of some random association in my brain from years ago that I never touched til now
Anyway yeah, GO WRITE AND CREATE EVEN IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE IT bc youâll be surprised at what finds you!!!

sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background
Remember how weird everyone else is. Remember that youâre everyone else. You belong with these people. Your community is spread out in front of you, sprawled along takeout cups, staring at their phones, trying to get home.

a very short and page-turning sci-fi novel that reads like if the matrix had time travel, if you want to have an existential crisis read this.
