I read the book, which is why I was asking. I liked the focus on balance and I often use that as my "swing thought" (mixing sporting metaphors) while I row.
Well done article. I’ve been wondering snout the connection between notes, posts/articles and the newsfeed. Your last paragraph summarizes how I use Substack. Reading a post is a commitment of time and I save that for posts that align with my interests and upskilling. I enjoy notes because they’re a quick read but I’m still trying to find the right mix of notes that truly add value to my life.
Thanks for the info i am newvro substack trying to find my way..you comment on students made me think when i post it is from my mindset and feedback is hard to get...i use to look at as test scores mesured my effectiveness. Digitial eyes are a much harder read.
I THINK your article is worth THINKING about. Just a gut feeling ;)
No, but on a serious note, as a new Substack user and article writer (no notes yet), I find it both helpful and something to ponder. What you say about Substack being a Cognitive Gym is the kind of thing that pumps me up. (I’m a dad with the perfect name in both English and Japanese for making puns, so you’ll have to cut me some slack.)
Many Thanks for this informative article, especially because I’m a newbie to Substack… and never had much interest or the patience for social media. As a thinker myself, I’m enjoying Substack writers’ thought-provoking articles from my carefully curated subscriptions! 🙏🏼
This is excellent and great advice for a Substack dilettante on the differences, and uses of a post and a note.
I'm still hoping that you post something on sculling.
I’ve actually (self) published a book about sculling: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Oars-Reflections-Sculling/dp/0615814263 See you on the water!

Thanks for writing so honestly.
Hi, JaPanglerized. Not to worry! I’m a person for whom puns are not a form of punishment.
I agree. They are pundamental to the very punstitution upun which we stand.
Verily, you are a pundit…
