Note to Self Aug 26, 2025

Hello! I'm Gina Trapani and once a month I round up the 10 best posts from my blog <a href="https://notetoself.studio/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">Note to Self</a> in this newsletter. When the last issue arrived in my inbox, the first thing I saw was a big honkin' typo. Here's to practice over perfection. <ol> <li>I summited <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/one-monkey-mind-s-10-day-silent-meditation-course/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">a personal mental mountain</a> at my first 10-day silent meditation course. It was hard!</li> <li>I didn't have any sort of revelation. Epiphanies are rarer than we think. When you ask a big question, the answer arrives not as a lightning bolt, but as <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/a-whisper-or-a-notion/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">a whisper</a>.</li> <li>A perfect phrase for the moment serves as both an indictment and a rallying call: Dan Sinker calls this <a href="https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-05-23-who-cares/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">the Who Cares Era</a>. The most radical thing we can do is care.</li> <li>When you wonder how someone achieved their success: the answer is always that they <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/work-and-luck/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">worked hard and got lucky</a>.</li> <li>Just like "life hack," "vibe code" became too broad an umbrella term to be useful. When someone says they vibe-coded an app, my first question is: <a href="https://blog.val.town/vibe-code?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">How much of it do you understand?</a></li> <li>All our ideas are downstream from the the ideas we take in. Garbage in, garbage out. That's why I'm setting up a new-old system for <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/inputs-and-output/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">intentional inputs</a>.</li> <li>Jenn Schiffer left her tech job and turned her pixel art into <a href="https://bugsrock.online?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">handmade candles</a> that were a hit in my house.</li> <li>It’s common to look back at intense, adrenaline-driven times in one's career and feel nostalgia for the clarity of focus, but <a href="https://notetoself.studio/quote/intensity-vs-passion/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">don't confuse intensity and passion</a>.</li> <li>PSA: <a href="https://livelaugh.blog/posts/non-ai-images-for-blogs-websites/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">You don't have to use generative AI "art" in your blog or other projects</a>. </li> <li>When dealing with feedback on my work, I still reference Ann Friedman's <a href="https://www.annfriedman.com/the-disapproval-matrix?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper" target="_blank">Disapproval Matrix</a>. Lovers and critics, <a href="https://notetoself.studio/about/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=not-a-bolt-but-a-whisper#contact-me" target="_blank">bring it on</a>.</li> </ol> Thanks for reading.

Hello! I'm Gina Trapani and once a month I round up the 10 best posts from <a href="https://notetoself.studio/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25-wrapped" target="_blank">Note to Self</a> in this newsletter. This is the last edition of 2025, and I want to thank you for being a subscriber. Writing in public again has been the most fun and scary undertaking of my year. It means a lot to me that you're here for it. A question on my mind: Would you prefer getting 5 links twice a month versus 10 once a month? Seriously, I want your opinion on this. Just reply to this email to let me know. <ol> <li>'Tis the season for year-end listicles, and here's mine: <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/best-things-i-watched-listened-to-and-read-in-2025/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25-wrapped" target="_blank">the best things I watched, read, and listened to in 2025</a>. Turns out I found most of my favorite things via human versus algorithmic recommendations.</li> <li>Good things come when you show your work, even if it's put together with popsicle sticks and duct tape. In that spirit, here are <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/stuff-i-built-just-for-me-in-2025/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25-wrapped" target="_blank">four unreleased software projects I made just for me this year</a>, including a <a href="https://notetoself.studio/projects/tri-today/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25-wrapped" target="_blank">triathlon training guide</a>, an <a href="https://notetoself.studio/projects/inbox-cleaner/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25-wrapped" target="_blank">email inbox game</a>, and a <a href="https://notetoself.studio/projects/cover-search/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25-wrapped" target="_blank">media cover art search engine</a>.</li> <li>Building things IRL never looks like a sped-up short-form video.

🦋 Smash that butterfly

Note to Self Jul 22, 2025

Hello! This is issue #1 of Note to Self by <a href="https://ginatrapani.org?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Gina Trapani</a>. I'm a recovering achiever writing about creativity over productivity. Once a month I round up the 10 best posts from my blog <a href="https://notetoself.studio?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Note to Self</a> in this newsletter. <ol> <li>Blogging is fun, so I’ve started again. Winnie the Pooh said, “I always get to where I am going by walking away from where I have been.” <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/what-i-m-doing-here/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">What I’m doing here</a> now has a lot to do with where I have been.</li> <li>What's the blog about? <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/creativity-over-productivity/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Creativity over productivity</a> is the most succinct way to describe how I'm reprioritizing my life's work as I kick off my second half.</li> <li>Author Ann Patchett describes whatever idea she has for her next book as a beautiful, wild butterfly that flutters around her mind. To write it, she has to <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/smashing-the-butterfly/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">smash the butterfly</a> onto her desk to pin it down into a flat, broken, poorly-reassembled version of itself. Making Note to Self felt like this.</li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ybwHDRjnY4&utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Sarah Snook</a> discusses bringing The Picture of Dorian Gray to Broadway: "One thing the director said on the first day of rehearsals was: you can only eat an elephant one spoonful at a time. I was like, okay yeah sure. I’ll do it that way. Now I’ve got to eat the Broadway part of the elephant." Snook won the Tony Award for Best Leading Actress for her performance in the one-woman show, in which she plays 26 characters. Here’s <a href="https://media.ginatrapani.org/theater/the-picture-of-dorian-gray-on-broadway/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">my review</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/erikahall.bsky.social?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Erika Hall</a> painted a truckload of <a href="https://chicken.pics/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">delightful chicken portraits</a> while she was supposed to be writing a book. The work one does while avoiding something else is some of the best work.</li> <li>I started lifting weights about 6 months ago as a complete beginner. On a few occasions I’ve had to miss a week or two. Every time, I was sure I lost all my progress and was starting again from scratch. I was wrong. When it comes to strength training, you get <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/stronger-after-the-break/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">stronger after a break</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/astrokatie.com/post/3lrxfsxnkms2c?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Reminder</a>: "Chatbots–LLMs–are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re 'right' it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all."</li> <li><a href="https://johayartist.com/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Jo Hay's series of portraits with the wonderful name Persisters</a> are stunning. Looking at any one of them feels like making eye contact with a wise old friend.</li> <li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/113496/9781984881502?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Martha Beck</a>: "Your true self is intensely interested in your real life’s work—but it could give a rat’s ass about anything else. When you pursue a career that pulls you away from your true self, your talent and enthusiasm will quit on you like a bored intern." I’ll forever think about my talent, enthusiasm, and energy like interns I can give interesting work they’ll enjoy and grow doing, or anything else that will make them quit on me.</li> <li>"The trick to being truly creative is to be completely unselfconscious. To resist the urge to self-censor. To not-give-a-shit what anybody thinks. That’s why children are so good at it. And why people with Volkswagens, and mortgages, Personal Equity Plans and matching Louis Vuitton luggage are not." Every few years I revisit <a href="https://notetoself.studio/quote/completely-unselfconscious/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=smash-that-butterfly" target="_blank">Linds Reddings' viral essay</a> on creativity and his life in advertising and it takes my breath away.</li> </ol> Thanks for reading. I'd love to hear from you. Reply to this email to let me know what you think. – Gina

🏈 Halftime

Note to Self Oct 8, 2025

Hello! I'm Gina Trapani and about once a month I round up the 10 best posts from <a href="https://notetoself.studio/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=halftime" target="_blank">Note to Self</a> in this newsletter. Since the last issue, over 500 of you signed up to get this email, which is great because sending it to myself was getting pretty lonely. <ol> <li>After a year of writing in private, I <a href="https://notetoself.studio/post/show-your-work/?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=halftime" target="_blank">announced the blog and newsletter</a> on social, and spent the week high on the love and encouragement I got back.

Experiencing something firsthand gets your body involved, and that's how you absorb information into your bones.</li> <li>Turned 50 years old in September, so I've officially got half a century of experience in these less-dense bones.

Rick Foerster argues for <a href="https://newsletter.thewayofwork.com/p/unproductive?utm_source=notetoself&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=halftime" target="_blank">the value of “unproductive” time</a>. </li> <li>"Completing tasks, no matter how inane, made me feel productive.
