Everyone buys books, few ever read them. Everyone wants growth, few accept pain. Everyone wants to be happier, few ever change. Intention is nothing without action, but action is nothing without intention.

Whenever an interesting thought combination arises, simply drag and drop them to a "stack". Stacks are collections of thoughts you create, aiming at a particular output, e.g. the next blog post, newsletter, twitter thread.

You and your ideas have a symbiotic relationship. The things you read, watch and interact with all lead to generation of ideas, but, in long term our ideas create the realities we live in. Don’t let those thoughts slip away from your hold.
