More in a day
Doing more in a day, and testing Substack.
Not as simple as Medium, but more open, and with better feeling. I now have an iOS app, and I can strikethrough tasks instead of un-bolding them.
Remember to write, then edit.
Read God has a name (finish it?), bible, NYer
Run 10k
Ask J&LM about dinner
Dinner:
Research: Vegetarian/vegan meal prep
Plan: Weekly Insta post, idea, figure out how to schedule
Schedule next beauty care (hair, wax)
Nifty money
Write about areas of house, wardrobe system (drawers?)
Publish Savings
Write about work, and future (and write generally)
Add other tasks to bottom, from journals
Emails…
Plan for retirement
Check movies and books from journal
Add books to StoryGraph
Create a section for these posts on Substack
Turn on Stripe to enable paid subscriptions?
Cancel Medium
Follow publications on Substack
Funny that all I want to do is read, and yet I don’t spend much time doing it. Moving to another platform always helps energise me. What an unfortunate motivator.
Remember this is an experiment.
This editor is better than Medium. Are there other apps that integrate with Substack?
Scheduling is better, everything feels better.
I enjoy simple technology, with limited design.
Substack feels like it’s still taking risks. People care about it. They’re still developing it. Medium feels old; people are trying to use tricks to make it work. It’s like Buttondown with more bells and whistles.
I may eat my words later.
This is a great place for new writers. I didn’t stay at Medium for long, but it never felt right. Ghost and WordPress are lonely, Medium is confusing; we’ll see how Substack is. I’m sure committing longer helps, but design is distracting as well. I’m in the market for simplicity, and a paywall for fear of my writing going public.
I don’t really want to have a Substack. In a way I do, but I can put my domain on it and make it mine. How else will I write from my phone, or write for free?
Even my home page looks better.
