Refactoring and Revision in Writing Practice

Implementing practices of refactoring, revision, polishing, and gardening in writing involves thinking about writing at various levels of fidelity. Starting with daily notes and scraps, identifying atomic units for deeper exploration, and eventually building larger elements like theories or concepts. The aim is for individual notes to merge into more comprehensive structures. Refining and creating higher-order abstractions over time is crucial for a meaningful writing practice, although it's not mandatory in every case.
