Start with notes

Rather than starting an outline when you want to create a writing project, start with a new note and add it to speculative outlines. Over time, they'll accrue points and build themselves. Ultimately, notes should be the composable pieces in your system.

This isn't only easier than starting with an empty page - it'll also create more organic writing ideas and conclusions will be easier to form without pre-conceived bias.
