An observation of my own life: most everything I've done that's been successful above and beyond my own expectations started with something very [[Conceptual Integrity|conceptually simple]]. | Thing | Simple Concept | Planned Benefit | Unplanned benefit | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [[PDW\|Data Journal]] | Every day is one row in a spreadsheet | Formulas work like normal. | There's a clear place where data should go, and it can be automated easily. | | Data Journal Webhook | Sheet + Data to write, in order | Less code right now. | Building additional webhooks for other things could use the exact same code. | | [[Daily Post It]] | Start the day with everything important for your day on one post it | Don't overcommit to too many things | Consistently checking "what's important today" early, rather than "what's in front of me right now" | | [[My Notes]] | No hierarchy. Almost no [[Frontmatter]]. | No need to file things. | No pre-planned roadmap makes the notes go where they may. I never spend time managing the system. | | [[Overall Fitness Test]] | One row in a spreadsheet reflecting one workout. | Consistent data. | Consistent fitness testing due to the **don't break the chain** effect. | **** # More ## Source - [[Myself]]
