Thanks a lot Justin.

I believe rightly or wrongly that I suffer from writer's block or rather the "fear of the blank page" since I'm good at editing. This article is one of the few pieces I came across that gave the desire to definitely overcome that fear. It's well writing for sure. It's inspiring to try and emulate. But the Big Idea that created that spark in my mind: the three processes of Reading, Thinking and Writing being part of a larger one.

I found you and this article thanks to David Perrell (your compilation of his best ideas is obviously my next read). And I like the way Naval tweets his ideas.

Justin, this is an incredible piece of content. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about simplicity. Also, I loved how you described the reading - thinking - writing process. Writing is so important in thinking. It's a way of processing the knowledge you've received by reading (and watching meaningful content). This article made me think and re-evaluate my writing.
