As I build this website, I’m sorting my thoughts into Notes and Posts. Notes are quick, raw ideas—like jotting down a spark of insight. Posts are deeper, polished pieces that dive into a topic. Here’s how I distinguish them, inspired by organizing my engineer-philosopher brain.
| Aspect | Notes | Posts |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 100–500 words, a 2–5 min read (Generally) | 150–5,000 words, 2–30 min read (Generally) |
| Tone | Casual, like a chat or journal | Formal, like an essay or article |
| Effort | Quick (30 min), minimal polish, might be fleeting | Crafted (1–2+ hours), researched and well-thought , thoughts have permanence |
Take “Selling Dreams Of Easy Money”. It’s short but argues a point with examples. I spent multiple hours thinking it through, making it a Post. Notes are for fleeting thoughts; Posts are for ideas I’ve wrestled with. This split keeps my site crisp and navigable.
