Mentioned on Tom Critchlow’s website tour was Venkatesh Rao’s ‘calculus of grit‘. (Gotta say, finding some of these terms for basically ‘doing stuff on your website’ a teensy bit overwrought… but fair play, naming concepts does give you something to refer to and discuss).

I’ve not read the full article yet, but sounds like it’s a way of tending to the garden of your wiki.

It boils down to:

  • release work often
  • reference your own thinking
  • rework the same ideas again and again

I’m trying this out at the moment – putting thoughts in the stream, linking them back to ideas in the wiki, and updating those wiki pages as I go along. Going alright so far.
