In today's piece on digital scratchpads I talk about leveraging micro-friction by placing a life dashboard where you'll see it every day. I'm coming from the perspective of keeping daily notes in One Big Text File, but the principles apply to any daily note practice.

This week I wrote about why the open-est of open formats isn't the one for me. Turns out there are some strong opinions on the longevity/convenience spectrum! I appreciate all of them and feel grateful for respectful disagreements.

I've always wanted a write-only mode of mastodon. So that I can just go posting something without any distractions of new posts from my timeline.
