168: Jakob Greenfeld — Writing Your Way to Clarity

The Bootstrapped Founder

NOTE

Write to Discover, Not to Impress

Writing is an introspective process aimed at gaining clarity and self-understanding rather than a means of monetization or public validation. The act of writing for oneself encourages exploration of thoughts without the pressure of audience expectations or predefined outcomes. This personal writing mode fosters creativity, as it allows the writer to start with vague ideas and see where the writing leads them. The journey of writing, even if it results in unpublishable content, is valuable, as it helps clarify the thoughts and feelings that prompted the writing in the first place. Overcoming the fear of the empty page is crucial, as many individuals hesitate to write due to uncertainty about their topic. Embracing writing as a tool for discovery enriches the creative process.
