i haven't really cared about PKM and note-taking since around this time last year. but now the desire to do it is suddenly coming back?

maybe it's because i'm a bit anxious/scared about becoming more visible with my business, and about launching some scary new stuff
note-taking has always been a great way to stay hidden, while pretending i'm being very productive and smart

regardless, i really want to write some new evergreen notes, organize them in maps of content, and all the other cool stuff teaches.
i'm just not sure i trust the desire. feels like it's leading me away from my real work

i'm excited for your new product stuff and that you're pushing into some growth territory (personally/professionally)!
do you journal? wondering about relationship between notes, journals, and shipping work

thanks kristen! and it's funny, i feel like my journaling follows the same pattern as my notes. in seasons where i'm not shipping much, i tend to make more notes, and do a lot of journaling and freewriting. but the private stuff usually stops when i'm shipping prolifically

a super obvious thing just struck me. maybe this kind of thing is SUPPOSED to be seasonal and cyclical. there can be a season of thinking and reflecting, followed by a season of production. then when you run out of gas, it's time to pull back into reflection.

and here i was thinking this very natural and generative impulse was a problem 😭

the whole orientation towards work we inherit from ordinary office jobs do be refusing to acknowledge seasonality and cyclicity and expecting you to be producing consistently all the time huh
