Small experiments to become action oriented

How this newsletter is just one big exercise

I picked the name for this newsletter in 5 minutes at 2am.

I just wanted to post something after writing it in 15 minutes. I wanted to force myself towards action, instead of just wandering and trying to strategize.

These lines are all about getting into the habit of writing and creating content daily. I don't want to force any specific topic or target at first, as the most important priority right now is not missing a single day.

Even if that means that most initial posts are going to be very meta, like this one.

Action oriented people are built different. They go from idea to action in mere minutes. Ideas don't live in their heads, they go out in the world in any medium or means of manifestation.

That's what I want to achieve now, though this atomic essays. Getting ideas out of my head until I can see a cohesive group of work that delivers value.

There was a time where I used to talk about how easy creating a podcast could be and out of nowhere I'd pull out my phone and starting recording with the person I was talking with.

I want to go into that state again. There are tons of ideas and concepts I'd love to share and I haven't started because of Paralysis by Analysis.

Of course, I have some ideas of where this newsletter can go after this initial batch of experiments.

For example, the other name I was thinking about for this newsletter was Journal of Guardians.

I though, "maybe it would be cool to read how people who build the future think and slowly become legends capable of giving us a new civilization." Maybe I could start with my own thoughts and how I navigate thinking about civs and then include others and their processes and tools in here.

I haven't discard that path. Would you like me to go that way?
