You plant seeds without knowing which will bloom. You prune what isn't serving you. You trust that showing up regularly matters more than any single session of frantic effort. Most people fail at this not because they lack the right tool, but because they treat it as a one-time setup rather than an ongoing practice. The magic isn't in the app. It's in the ritual: the weekly review, the habit of linking ideas, the discipline of writing in your own words.
