| + | I'm surprised how big of a mental hit I took this March. |
| + | |
| + | My approach to projects has often been backwards. I want to make scaffolding. Like this site. I like the idea of a wiki. But the point is not it being a wiki or a blog or something. The point is writing. I've heard a similar thing said about Gwern. How you can make a website as good as his (you probably can't, but let's assume). But it wouldn't matter. He's good not because of his amazing website, but because of his amazing writing. |
| + | |
| + | Same here. I can make categories and tags. Here are my posts, here are my thoughts, my reviews, my JP notes, my journal. But they will be empty. |
| + | |
| + | Actually, that's one of the reasons I like this journal format. It reduces the friction of writing. I can just write. Get the words out. Put myself out there. I can organize later, it's all premature optimization anyway. |
| + | |
| + | I've been slightly neglectful in my Japanese studies because of that mental hit (a project where I joined, quickly realized it's not for me, stressed myself out and gradually quit). |
| + | |
| + | I think the gratefulness journal wasn't going well. It became too same-y. Maybe I can read up on such journals to learn more? |
| + | |
| + | But I also had a project. I'm making it under my real name, so I don't really want to share it here. On the other hand, who cares? Honestly, who cares. It's a telegram bot with a JP-RU dictionary. For now the UX isn't great, but it works. I sometimes even think "I should ask the bot" when I need to look up something. |
