Trails #4: On revisiting ideas, ribbon-like bark, spark files, and stretching your mind

Ideas, thoughts & moments that made me go "woah".

Hey idea shepherd,

Welcome to Trails — a weekly stroll through the things that made me stop and say “Whoa.”

If you want to try the tool I use to catch these sparks, here’s my link to Sublime so you can start gathering your own “Whoa” moments too. It’s the only tool where you can save 1 idea and find 100 more….seriously.

A note on revisiting your notes

Every idea you save is a seed for your future self. Tomorrow, in 10 months or in 10 years.

A quote to reshape your mind. :)

A tree I came across hanging off a cliff. So beautiful. Could stare at this bark pattern for hours.

This is the seed where the above time capsule note came from. I love how he keeps a single file of sparks that spans across time and topics.

That’s it for this week.
