Rotting in bed, but then ended up turning to Obsidian to start sensemaking and journalling, a more intentional place for curiosity and wandering compared to the boundless part of the internet.
I got to write down how I felt. To be aware. To seek refuge.
How to do it yourself
- Curate your sources
- Instead of only scrolling through YT recommended, start spending more time intentionally searching for things or using subscriptions again lol
- If you are going to use recommended, be active in telling the algorithm what you don't like, and narrow your focus by using the tabs
- Readwise reader is my second choice
- As you watch something, open up Obsidian
- Take note of the things you found resonating or insightful
- You already are doing better than 99% of people who passively consume
No distractions, just a place full of the things I've deliberately added.
A space that provides a space for cultivating meaning of our own.
Slow burns build over time, which then lead to eventual creation.
Creation not for the sake of views, but creativity for expressing yourself and letting something unique emerge from your perspective clashing with your inspirations.
