One of my favourite writers on twitter is Gurwinder. I didn’t know much about him but I devoured everything before I started getting interested in who he was.
He wrote a post that particularly stuck out to me. And that’s what suddenly kick started the writing more daily starting today. Well writing daily is in itself a huge thing for me in an attempt to get out of a momentum of inactive movement.
Ever since I have become a father I have so little time and energy to devote to outside activities that in order to do something I have to make an extra effort that almost seems gargantuan. But that’s not because I lost interest or have lesser hobbies now but to better conserve my energy, I embrace inertia.
Inertia, like lazy prompting in LLMS, is the key to mediocrity through complacency. It’s anti-agency. It’s also a less richer experience.
If you don’t experiment enough and live outside of your comfort zone (and I don’t mean using Claude instead of ChatGPT), then you are going to be status quo because you don’t know what else could be there. What is better? You should know and then actively decide to not pursue it. You cannot die not knowing it.
Because inertia is a seductive warm blanket. If you don’t have anything to compare (not compete that’s a whole other problem) you won’t find inspiration to improve it. If you chose not to improve it after considering the alternatives then that’s a choice you can make. Because choices made out of intention rather than ignorace often don’t lead to regret.
It seems journaling is one way to go about this. I intend to find out through this blog.
