"Forget the competition and go at your own pace. Your only contest is with yourself." (William Zinsser, On Writing Well)
The truth is we are incompetent at most things. Whether you are refining a craft after decades of skill building or starting something new, don’t worry about how you compare to anyone but you yesterday.

Readwise is terrific. It’s how I highlight and keep notes on what I read. It accepts highlights from Kindle and other platforms while syncing ‘out’ to apps like Notion.
Each day the app surfaces a handful of my highlights back to review. You can also create them manually by typing them or by taking photos of your physical books and it will convert the photo to text via OCR.
It has made my life BTTY, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of it’s features. Maybe one day, a full post of all the benefits. In the meantime, read more here.
Take care,
