parents: Newsletter, Writing Philosophy
- Newsletter = public exhibition.
- My newsletter is not a casual article, but a well-prepared exhibition.
- An exhibition’s role is not only to show, but also to turn complex ideas into engaging stories or articles.
- Exhibition depends on museum.
- This museum is my Second Brain, my entire knowledge base.
- The quality of the newsletters depends on the depth and breadth of my second brain.
- Museum is filled with valuable artworks.
- A museum is useless unless it contains valuable artworks.
- In my second brain, these artworks are thoughts and insights stored in well-organized notes.
How to check it?
- Clear expression and good organization.
- This is to respect reader’s time and attention. If my ideas are not expressed clearly, their value will be greatly reduced.
- Supported by >= 5 🌿 bud notes.
- This is a quantitative standard to ensure depth.
- A newsletter should synthesize substantial work, not just a single shallow idea.
- This also forces me to build a solid foundation of interconnected ideas before publishing.
- Each 🌿 bud note shows deep thinking, is well organized, support by several 3 🌱 seed notes.
- This ensure the quality of each building block.
- This layered structure makes my thinking process step-by-step and solid.
- 🌱 Seed notes can be simple and do not need to fully organized.
- Seed notes may be raw ideas, questions, inspirations, or whatever.
- I give myself the freedom to explore.
