Manifesting My Ideal Information Diet
Written by Garrett Kincaid
In every moment, I am either practicing mindfulness and focus or mindlessness and distraction.
MONDAY
Are We All Just Scrolling Through Life?
Written by Tuğba Avci
We have spiralled into a world where our rationality, intelligence, and focus slip more and more away.
TUESDAY
When You Write, Quantity Kicks Quality's Ass
Written by Khadejah J.
People are more likely to pay attention to the person who plays outside the most.
WEDNESDAY
The Parental Notion
Written by Johnathan Dodson
No story is more profound in one's life than that of family, whether it's the one we're born into, the one we lose, or the one we build with our own hands and hearts.
THURSDAY
Thread Boi Writing System™
Written by Harrison Moore
If it cant be said in one sentence (preferably in fewer than six words) then it's not worth saying at all.
FRIDAY
Show Up Anyway.
Written by Jamal Robinson
The only way we should seek to show up is in a way that we can be proud of.
SATURDAY
This is Why You're Not Getting Subscribers
Written by Jennie O'Connor

FIN
It’s still quite early for the Indie Thinkers app but I’m most excited to see a visit duration of over 3 minutes. It’s clear that when people show up, they’re finding enough value to stick around.
The hardest thing right now is getting people to upvote their own work.
It’s a classic chicken and the egg problem though. Writers will show up once readers are present and the’s no incentive for them to come to the party a second earlier.
My main focus is getting readers to show up.
