The absolute dead simple way for me to actually write something and publish it

July 19, 2023

Three steps

  • Open Readwise and browse for a highlight that I have some thoughts on
  • Paste it into Drafts and write and use an action to create a draft in WordPress
  • Publish in WordPress (sometimes adding a photo)

I can write a post in 15 minutes vs. agonizing over it when I’m publishing to Twitter. Maybe it’s the idea that people might actually see and hate what I’m writing there. (Always delusional, because I don’t actually have enough followers to make that something to worry about.)

Book quotes give me some borrowed credibility. Readwise makes it easy to pull book quotes to use.

Drafts helps me focus on just writing. It loads up super fast and is pretty distraction free.

And WordPress just keeps chugging along.
