My Digital Garden Principles

Principles I follow while running my digital garden.

1. Start Over Perfection

• Plant even rough drafts
• It's okay to publish as a seedling
• Embarrassment is proof of growth

2. Be Mindful of Connections

• Look for links to existing notes when writing new ones
• Isolated notes lose value

3. Tend Regularly

• Occasionally stop by and refine notes
• Upgrade status as ideas mature
• Fix wrong ideas but leave traces

4. Write for Myself

• Primarily a record for my future self
• If others find it useful, that's a bonus
