The highest leverage habit in human history:

Writing on the internet.

For most of this year, I've had hundreds of ideas that were too short for blog posts but too long for tweets.

The solution: atomic essays.

One idea. One screenshot. One per day.

Thread...
In this thread, I will share one atomic essay every day for a long time.

The overarching theme of my essays: growth.

I'm fascinated with the improvement of people, businesses, and systems.

These essays will explore these principles and how you can use them.
These essays cover a wide surface area, but all through the lens of growth.

• Career
• Health
• Wealth
• Startups
• Productivity
• Relationships
• Decision-making

And many more that I'm sure will evolve over time.

"Writing is like running. It never gets easier, you just get better at it."

@level5leaders said this in his recent conversation with @tferriss

And I think it's a profound idea that deserves some exploring.

Thread...
1/ Starting out

When you start running, say you can run a 10-minute mile.

Six months later, you can run an eight-minute mile.

Running an eight-minute mile feels just as hard as your initial 10-minute mile.

BUT, running a 10-minute mile now feels much easier.
2/ It never gets easier

No matter your experience as a runner, running your fastest will be painful.

But this is how you make progress: continuing to push the edge of difficulty.

If you only try to run 10-minute miles, you'll never improve.

The same goes for writing.

Another 10/10 Made You Think with @nateliason / @TheRealNeilS / @EricJorgenson

Leverage, Naval, Elon, Taleb, a basic twitter tech bro paradise 😂

A few follow up points/questions:

open.spotify.com/episode/62E59x…
1. @EricJorgenson - excited to see what you do with the leverage idea.

Have you thought about starting a podcast as part of your research process?

Interview tons of people who have applied it “stumbled into it” like you talked about.

Dig into their tactics / worldviews.
2. @nateliason/@TheRealNeilS: I know you guys have 100 things going on, but man.

Have you thought about turning this into a weekly?

I love the books. But alternating between books and interviews would be epic.

You could really just record your conversations with smart people.

Writer's block...

It happens to everyone.

But the way to overcome it?

Having a step-by-step process that prevents it.

In one of his best essays, @davidperell lays out the steps to take.

Here's how I've adapted his workflow to write 30 essays in 30 days.

Thread...
1/ Start with a walk

Before every writing session, I take a 30-minute walk.

But this walk has rules.
• No electronics.
• Take the same path.
• Just me and my brain.

The first 15 minutes, nothing.

But like clockwork, around the 15-minute mark, ideas start to flow.
2/ Hit record

From there, I don't sit down to write. I grab my phone and keep walking, this time for ~15 minutes.

But I record myself talking out the idea. I use @otterai to transcribe what I say.

After 15 minutes, I have an outline for what I'll write that day.

This should be fun.

One like = one reason to start writing and publishing every day in 2021 in @threadapalooza fashion

Let’s go 👇🏼
1. Unlock the leverage of the internet.
2. Attract like-minded people.
