I still write in a physical notebook.

I still write in a physical notebook.
No screen. Just a pen and paper.
Writing. Drawing. Thinking.

Just me, a black Sharpie pen, and my dotted, hardcover Moleskine.

On a recent flight, a flight attendant noticed.
"You don't see that much anymore", she said.

When I think about my most valuable habits, they strike a similar cord.

- reduce distractions
- ruthlessly prioritize
- apply aggressive amounts of effort
- endure discomfort

We don't see these much anymore, either.

Good.
It wouldn't be much of an edge if everyone did it.
