Build Systems So Your Work Runs on Easy Mode

“Doing more and more with less and less.” Buckminster Fuller

I draft most posts on walks.

Each post used to take hours at a desk.

That changed with one experiment. I set up voice-to-text.

I walk every day either way. The draft happens during the walk.

An experiment is anything you do that is uncertain or uncomfortable. An infrastructure experiment is one that leaves you with a new capability.

Voice-to-text was an infrastructure experiment.

Leverage is your outcome divided by the energy you put in. A post is an outcome. Talking while I walk costs almost no added energy. I get more leverage on every post.

What’s one capability you could build that makes every future task cheaper?
