According to [James Clear](https://kill-the-newsletter.com/alternates/ep60ygdkjb65ph5a.html), a great exercise to gain clarity is to brain dump your thoughts on something on an entire page, then to delete everything until only the essential emerges. - I like the idea, could be applied to both reading and writing (fiction or non-fiction) - Powerful journaling tool as well - Compression is a recurring topic (could create an entry point ?) - The approaches favors removing instead of adding, while traditional approach is the opposite => [[Applying compression to your daily life]]
