Raw quotes is intellectual fast food. It is overdone to the point of sickness.
Yes, might juice up your SEO or add borrowed credibility.
But best writers remix & synthesize.
I always thought saving quotes was useless, with the rare exception of deep cuts.
But again, what do I do with it? Post it on my toilet door?
The magic happens when your brain fuses disconnected fragments together.
That spark? It's called synthesis. Mediocre notes become killer ideas.
Our mind has the ability to think about a problem from different perspectives.
We don't always connect these thoughts right away.
Here's the deal:
Steal ruthlessly (save anything that makes your brain twitch)
Dump mercilessly (thoughts, half-baked ideas, angry rants)
Force collisions (every Friday, smash 2 unrelated notes together. Rewrite the wreckage.)
Everything is a remix.
