C.S Lewis who would intentionally use ink that took longer to dry because it forced him to stop after every phrase and wait and think before he wrote the next thing
what if I bought a little notepad and a pen and treated it like a phone taking it literally everywhere with me
the rational part of my brand was like dude it's the 21st century like come on but the emotional part of my brain was like oh you know who knows I mean what if something amazing were to happen
first things I noticed when I started carrying this thing around with me is it provided me with a place to just spill organic Thoughts with zero like get that zero potential to ever be distracted or for outside ideas to mingle with my own
organic thinking I'm specifically defining that as like something that only pertains to you that you don't want any other ideas to be mixed with
I can't count how many times I've picked up my phone to write down a creative idea that I've had and just completely lost it because something caught my 6:43 attention or something distracted me before I could get it all and that is really really frustrating
t for me it keeps me from sleeping with one eye open as it were you know like where you're that analogy of like sleeping and you're always just like you're always aware like just in case 7:38 something pops up that you you need to be alert for that's kind of what it feels like sometimes and so when you remove that completely it's it's literally gone then suddenly energy refocuses
