Simple writing and publishing flow
I needed a process that wouldn’t exhaust me. The more steps, the lower the odds of publishing. Goal: reduce friction and keep a steady pace.
The flow (4 steps)
1) Quick capture
Save ideas anywhere. If they don’t survive 48 hours, they don’t become a post.
2) Short draft
I open the draft with three questions:
- What problem am I solving?
- What’s the core idea?
- What should the reader do after reading?
3) Minimal edit
Read once to cut excess. If the text gets shorter, it gets better.
4) Publish
Publish when it’s good enough, not perfect. Perfectionism delays learning.
Checklist
- Clear title
- One main idea
- Actionable conclusion
- Links to related posts
Final note
Consistency is a design problem: reduce effort, increase output.
