How to choose the right note-taking app - by Anne-Laure Le Cunff
“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they’re going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there’s going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don’t know how many branches it’s going to have, they find out as it grows. And I’m much more a gardener than an architect.”
Definition of success - by Patricia
I took a week off to ponder my ever-evolving definition of success: Could the success I thought I wanted.. actually prevent me from doing the thing I actually wanted to do?
A thread on the downsides of wealth and fame, and upsides of autonomy and creative expression
How to Leave Work at Work - by Elizabeth Grace Saunders
Some jobs have very clear lines between when you’re “on” and when you’re “off,” while in others the lines are blurred — or potentially nonexistent. That makes not being distracted by work, especially mentally, a major challenge.
These look beautiful
Lucid Motors - With a global reveal on 9th September, that is one beautiful looking electric car.
