7 Random But Curious And Interesting Ideas I Found Last Week

27 Apr 2026 #misc

#1. 100-repetition rule. When starting a new hobby, aim for 100 repetitions to judging your progress or quitting. That’s 100 posts, 100 photos, or 100 paintings.

#2. I feel/I wonder/I think. Reviving my Zettelkasten led me to morganeua’s YouTube channel. To react to something, answer I feel __, I wonder __, and I think ___. Those answers will help you to create new notes.

#3. Cover design idea. Last week, I found my copy of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, and noticed its cover. The title is on the cover and its subtitle is on the back cover. Simple! I’m stealing that idea.

#4. Techno selectionism. You don’t have to stick to a piece of tech. You can always try it, watch it, and change it. If it drains you or disconnects you, drop it.

#5. No boredom, please. We prefer to receive electric shocks rather than spend time alone with our thoughts.

#6. Work with your garage door open. If marketing and sales sound daunting, just show your progress. Open your garage door and let people see what you’re building.

#7. Read one book about work per year. I haven’t read a coding book since my burnout and layoff in 2024. This idea inspired me to pick one again. I opened my Books folder and started reading Dependency Injection: Principles, Practices, and Patterns by Mark Seeman.
