This flow:

  1. Have a thought.
  2. Start writing a short post about it.
  3. It’s not working. Expand into a full-length blog post.
  4. Still no good. Delete the draft and copy the text into a note.
  5. Months later, pull the draft into a better blog post about a larger topic.

In other words, always write things down.

Manton with the wise words again. This is something I need to get in the habit of doing more often, so many times I think I need to write about that, start a post and then Cmd-A delete it.
