I dunno, Austin Kleon has just been hitting all my buttons recently. This post (extended version) is no exception.

I like this idea of keeping a logbook – not a diary, not a journal, but a logbook. Just like on the ships, or weather takers.
Seems a good way to briefly recap the day, process it ever so slightly, and release it to go to sleep. Think I’ll start doing it today with one of those unused journals lying around…
Phil Libin’s keynote at the 2014 Evernote Conference.
Evernote is trying to change the way people work – which is an audacious goal. But I think they’re onto something.
I watched the first and last 15 minutes of this video, where Phil explains that, despite living in the digital world now for 30+ years, we’re still using the symbols of the non-digital world, and it’s holding us back. Things like typewriters, file cabinets, and projectors.
The Evernote team is re-thinking the flow of work, and building its software around collecting, finding, writing, and presenting. And that they can all happen in the same space. And be collaborative.
Watching the videos at the end (and especially combined with yesterday’s post) really emphasized for me the shift from “competitive and hoarding” to “collaborative and sharing”. And Evernote is enabling that.
Their new tagline: “For your life’s work”, and I know for me: I couldn’t do my work half as effectively without it.
For most of history, success meant success at zero-sum games. And in most of them meanness was not a handicap but probably an advantage. That is changing. Increasingly the games that matter are not zero-sum. Increasingly you win not by fighting to get control of a scarce resource, but by having new ideas and building new things. —
