iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Great overview Justin, learned a lot from this. It's deceptive that BlueSky looks similar to X — but so much under the hood and in the philosophy/psychology. Certainly a very differetn energy over here.

Most people get Systems Thinking wrong. But it's the key to understanding how the world works — and how to make real change. Everything is interconnected. Nothing is in a vacuum. Anticipate the cause-and-effect loops acting upon your desired path and outcome.

For videos I found it frustrating — no covers/titles for YT shorts and low file limit on one platform (smaller limit than on the platform). For X it limits to 60sec even though X allows longer. But for text posts Metricool seems great! Have you found workarounds to make short vid posting viable?

How are you liking Metricool? Do you find it works well for short videos too, or just text posts?

Nice, Nathan! So well designed! Looking forward to using it.

I love working on Sundays. Nothing I’d rather be doing. This is true most every Sunday. The key is doing work you find meaningful. Took a long time to create the work conditions I love. Stages of the journey really sucked. Worth all the effort it took to get here.

What advantages does it have relative to Readwise Reader?

Great to see you here as well! Seems to be the new hot spot.

Notion ushered in the era of personalized software development — accessible to everyone. And took personal system building to an entirely new level. Notion is truly pioneering. Others in the space are largely just imitating and playing catch up.

It’s been my assumption that what we have now is an initial step on the way to that inevitable end point. Properties in any block on the page are the only logical end point IMHO.

Most people do not deliberately, intentionally cultivate the mind they want. The people who do, excel in all aspects of life. Everything you experience is filtered through the perception of your mind. Create the best possible lens for your engagement with the world — and time alone with yourself.

Cravings are a sign of withdrawal — they're short-lived but very intense for that initial period. Once absent from the toxic element for a while, you no longer crave it. Then you're free. True for addictive substances, sugar, mindless social media feeds, co-dependent relationships, and bad habits

Feed your mind the right thoughts just as you feed your body the right foods. Eating healthy does not immediately change your body. But gradually over time, it transforms you. Same with your mind.

Seems hard and elusive at the outset. But over time as you do it, it becomes simple and easy. It’s not a fight or a battle. It’s a flow and channeling. Forgive any setbacks, focus on doing it right next time.

August Bradley @augustbradley.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Your mind gets in the way of so many things you want to achieve. But you can't fight your mind, it’s your mind. You can’t go over it or around it. It’s always right in front of you. Instead, you have to channel it and guide it or cultivate a flow in the direction you want. 🧵👇

I have not been active over there, but I hear it’s going pretty strong.

This is the new high-tech version of the old improv "Yes, and..." technique — to keep the improv session going and building.

Ahh, that takes all the fun out of the automation slot machine.

Bluesky is the big reset. Once a year, everyone should reset to a clean slate of followers.

August Bradley @augustbradley.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

I like this idea of having multiple social media platforms for different types of interest and engagement groups. BlueSky is becoming a welcome space for social interactions, whereas X is high-intensity engagement — or business and high-impact exchanges. Still not sure about Threads. 🤔

Great to see you here too, Ignazio! It certainly has a more chill vibe here. ☯️

Super impressed with Apple’s new Mac Mini M4 Pro. I’ve been waiting for the new Mac Studio. But this new little powerhouse provides everything I wanted. And it’s available now. It screams through heavy lifts and is amazingly quiet — a significant factor for me with recording and livestreams.

August Bradley @augustbradley.bsky.social · 10/11/2024

We all seem to feel similarly, hope that approach continues as it grows.

It’s a really chill vibe. Great to see you here too!

BlueSky seems to be picking up steam, I can see getting more active here. What has brought you guys here? To me it does seem to have more genuine conversation.

Good to know, thanks for the insight.

August Bradley @augustbradley.bsky.social · 04/11/2024

Oh interesting, I thought Threads had gone quiet since their initial active launch. Seems to me all the biggest activity by far is on X and LinkedIn. Does anyone see Threads or BlueSky getting anywhere close to X in the near future?

Is this place getting any real momentum?

Awesome, I’ve been wondering if any other Notion people were here!
