Here's the guidelines I came up with for my book's subtitle. Title is "Building a Second Brain"
Anything suggest itself?
I added "system"
There seems to be a "transformation" process going on here:

Information => ideas => creative output => creative potential
Organize => unlock => unleash => harness => master
This suggests a mapping:

Organize: information and ideas
Unlock: ideas and creative output
Unleash: creative output and creative potential

Harness and master are broader, could apply to the whole thing

1/ We’re at @marieforleo ‘s book launch event in LA. This is what a modern book signing powered by the internet looks like
2/ A few minutes to start and it’s a full on dance party. That’s Lauren on the far left
3/ It’s at Skirball cultural center with about 1k attending. She’s really nailed the target demographic of 20s to 40s millennial women running small and/or online businesses. Everything is geared to them

1/ Did you know that many department stores offer free “personal shoppers” who pick out clothes they think you’ll like and give you a private fitting room? We’re at @Bloomingdales Century City in LA and I will now live tweet my outfits for your feedback
Casual and comfy but also professional

You should only self-publish your book if you would answer yes to 2 of these questions
#2 might seem like an obvious yes but consider that you might NOT want a larger percentage of each retail sale, instead using the book to sell something else like a course or speaking
I would answer yes to none of them, which is why I’m seeking a traditional publisher

We are working on solving an internal (and external) problem of remote work where a lot of meaningful discussions are occurring that just slip through our hands like sand.
Instead of large group meetings, we are having smaller conversations around the ideas and nature of the work we are doing and how we can help our clients achieve stronger desired outcomes.
Which leads to this rather overwhelming issue of SHIT LOADS of video.

So we are taking the video artifacts and consistently filing them (we pay a lot for Dropbox unlimited storage), summarizing the video, generating machine transcripts, and cataloging in Notion.

Recently finished reading the excellent #book "The Soul of The Marionette" by John Gray.

It's is a short metaphorical essay on progress in human life.

(a thread with my notes on the book)
1/ First of all, what is a marionette?

It’s a puppet controlled by a human via strings from above. The reason it’s graceful in its movements is because it lacks self-awareness that it’s being controlled by someone else
2/ Humans, unlike a marionette, are self-aware and hence always remain doubtful.

The defining characteristic of humans is inner-conflict

I'm at a workshop called "Building a Second Brain" by @fortelabs

I'll be live tweeting some quotes.
"We should put as much care into our digital environments than we do for our physical spaces. We spend about the same time on each"
"Due to the deluge of information we are subjected to, each one of us is a part time librarian now."

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

Mauritania election day: the incident happened in Boutlimit where the ruling party's campaign boss was caught printing ballots - the citizens sized it along with the printer
Mauritania election day: Mauritanians are asked to elect MP's, regional council reps in lieu of the dissolved Senate, and mayors. Unlike past elections, there's a flood of candidates. The voting ballot is a few dozen centimeters long
Mauritania election day: the context is tense because the current President's term end by June '19, he's said many times he's leaving, but given his history, few believe he's leaving.

0/ Several people read my last tweetstorm and found that it assumed too much context. So here's round two.
1/ Some people take notes. Some people don't. Do you?
2/ The concept of notes isn't especially groovy, sexy, cool, or interesting, unfortunately. Sorry. Maybe it will be after this thread.
