I recently found this pretty powerful essay \[↑\] on what it means to do the thing. I'm guilty of confusing motion with action many times. I've spent countless hours trying dozens of writing apps, to, at the end, don't write anything. I've spent days researching about notebooks, buying new writing gadgets (Remarkable) and different iPad models, and at the end, I did not write a single word.

No more. 2024 is the year I'll share what's in my head.

Keep me accountable.

Finally, writting.
