It refers to creating a group of interconnected ideas, sources, and points to use as stepping stones that form the backbone of your work. By linking these ideas together in an understandable way, you can create a coherent structure and narrative in your content. This approach helps in organizing and presenting information in a logical and cohesive manner, allowing your audience to follow along and grasp the key concepts or arguments. #### Hemingway bridge The "Hemingway Bridge" is a metaphorical bridge that represents the transitional phase between work sessions. After each work session, it's beneficial to spend some time reflecting and writing down the next steps, the current status of your work, details to remember, and your intention for the next session. This process helps you maintain continuity and clarity in your work, ensuring a smooth transition between different sessions or phases. By creating a "Hemingway Bridge," you establish a clear pathway from one work session to the next, enabling you to easily pick up where you left off and maintain momentum in your creative or intellectual endeavors. #### Dial the Scope Much like controlling the height of a hot air balloon by letting go of the weights, adjust and manage the scope of your work by trimming down on text. Not all ideas or content generated will be used immediately or in their entirety and can be saved for future use. It's not that the information is useless, it's moreso that they would be better utilized in a different project or context. ### Benefits - Sharing relevant notes to people - **The purpose of knowledge is to be shared. What’s the point of knowing something if it doesn’t positively impact anyone, not even yourself?** - **Knowledge becomes more powerful as it spreads.** - Self-awareness - **Every external idea is like a mirror, surfacing within us the truths and the stories that want to be told.** - **discovering the tacit knowledge that lives within you. It’s in there, but you need external hooks to pull it out - Self-expression - **The world is desperate to hear what you know. You can change lives by sharing yourself with others.**
