Why I Made This Site

Related: About Me, What This Site Is, Learn in Public

I created this site for four main reasons:

1. Push myself to be more social
2. Relieve my perfectionism's hold on me
3. Share what I've learned with others

Which actually all fit inside reason number four:

4. Learn in Public

Where I'm coming from

For quite a while now, I've embraced writing for myself in multiple ways:

• Journalling on what I do each day
• Logging what projects I work on, including what I did, what worked, and what didn't.
• Chronicling what I learn and what I want to focus on next.
• Meditating on what goals I have for myself and how I can help others.

So what am I doing here?

Also for a while now, I've wanted to add some accountability to my writing habits (mainly to boost consistency and embrace communicating more generally).

• I've tried blogging before, with varying degrees of success. Though nothing ever really stuck.
• But I believe this time will be different (famous last words...)
  • Because I will be taking what I'm already doing, using My Notetaking System, and simply publishing a major subsection of it.
  • This should reduce my Overthinking and Anxiety to a more manageable level, while still embracing imperfection and pushing me forward.
