Andyʼs working notes

About these notes

Let ideas and beliefs emerge organically

Beware preconceived notions. Do your own thinking.

  • Producing work more quickly by using existing work
    • Evergreen note-writing as fundamental unit of knowledge work
    • Create speculative outlines while you write
    • Executable strategy for writing
  • Epistemology, originality
    • Use notes to avoid preconceived conclusions
    • Leaps of insight emerge from prior thought
    • Brainstorming may often substitute for missing insight accretion systems
    • Prefer associative ontologies to hierarchical taxonomies
    • Evergreen notes are a safe place to develop wild ideas
  • Morale:
    • responding to authentic interest and thought instead of thinking “I should write about X”
    • no more “what should I write about?”
