Follow your curiosity and you will always win.
If you don't like Instagram, don't use Instagram.
If you don't like Youtube, don't use Youtube.
Just because others are doing it, doesn't mean you have to do it.
You will write the same thing over and over.
That's okay.
The more you write about it, the tighter the idea gets.
1. Headlines matter
2. Framing matters
3. Leverage Zeitgeist
Frame your message in a unique way
1. Tell stories
2. Use examples
3. Relate to other concepts and ideas
Zeitgeist is the spirit of a generation or a period of time
It answers...
1. What's going on right now?
2. What are people talking about?
Social networks allow people to learn who you are.
Focus on making distribution easy.
Google is the best place to find information
Your prior writing is the next best place
Is my notetaking a form of escapism?
If it is, cut it.
Don't let your notetaking system limit your creativity.
SHIPPING!
Just keep shipping your work.
Notetaking apps don't ship for you

Ask yourself why.
Then ask yourself again.
And again.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
