What I Learned Today..
This is a chronological archive of daily notes originally shared on X under the heading “What I learned today.”
The aim isn’t to present finished ideas or polished essays. It’s to capture small observations as they happened — lessons picked up through work, training, conversations, and reflection. Each entry is published exactly as written at the time, with no edits or rewrites.
Individually, many of these thoughts are simple. Taken together, patterns begin to emerge around consistency, clarity, momentum, discipline, and long-term thinking.
To keep the archive readable and fast to navigate, the collection is published in parts of 100 thoughts at a time. Over time, this will grow into a long-form record of how ideas evolve through repetition rather than refinement.
How the series works
Each part contains:
- 100 consecutive daily thoughts
- a clear date for each entry
- the original wording, preserved as-is
There is no attempt to rank, group, or retrospectively organise the ideas. The structure reflects the habit itself: show up, write one thing, move on.
The collection
Part 1 — Thoughts 1–100
Early entries focused on building momentum, staying consistent, simplifying decisions, and thinking long term.
Additional parts will be added as the archive is published.
Part 2 — Thoughts 101–200
This section builds on the early foundations, with more emphasis on structure, focus, and how small daily decisions shape longer-term outcomes. Many of these thoughts reflect the shift from starting things to sustaining them, and from relying on motivation to building systems that make progress easier to repeat.
Part 3 — Thoughts 201–300
A deeper stretch focused on momentum, systems, repetition, and the quiet compounding effect of showing up daily. Many of these thoughts return to the same ideas from different angles, reinforcing how progress is built less through intensity and more through consistency.
Part 4- Thoughts 301-400
By this point, the habit is fully established. The thoughts increasingly reflect repetition, discipline, and the quiet confidence that comes from sustained effort. Themes around systems, simplicity, and consistency continue to resurface, showing how progress is maintained not through intensity, but through showing up and doing the basics well.
How to use this
This isn’t designed to be read start to finish. Dip in, skim, or return to it when you’re stuck. The value isn’t in any single thought, but in seeing which ideas repeat over time — and which ones fade.
