I’ve been starting at this blank page for a long time wondering if I should do this… Do what? A daily update post for the 108 days of Cycle 21. The last 108 I did a daily post but I mostly kept it private. Hypomania over the summer had me posting here for a little while, but other than that, just one-on-one with my friends (and YouTube).

I’m hesitant to commit to this because I’m already doing, what feels like, a lot of writing. I pen and paper journal in the morning. Instead of doing generic updates for everyone participating in the 108, I’ve decided to write personal messages. Seems like that will be much more effective. I’m also responding to daily Internal Family Systems-based prompts that Gemini is creating for me in real-time (I initially had a list but, after one day, I realized it needed to be dynamic). I want to create well written and thoughtful content in the form of blog posts and YouTube videos. And now I’m writing here!

For some reason that short paragraph got me to commit! This Day 1 post is missing A LOT of context but… I realized it’s context that’s pretty much all available on the pages of my site. The Dream page has what I want to do, the Story page has why I want to do it, the Flow page has the how, the 108s page has the history, and the stickied post has what I’m focused on for this 108 days.

It’s funny. I don’t really have an audience right now. Well… my mom checks me out sometimes. I really want to capture the evolution of this system I’m creating more than anything. I want to capture “random” thoughts about it. I suppose I’m kind of curious what writing here daily will evolve into. I suppose I could even capture ideas I have for content! I also just realized that I just need to let these words flow without thinking too much about editing my thoughts. I thought “Capture idea for content here? That’s stupid!” and started to delete and then I was like “No… let the stupid flow through you!” lol

Here’s the idea I have for a short video and blog post “Tell Me Your Problem And I’ll Make You A Custom Prompt.” I’ve learned that people don’t know how to use LLMs properly which makes people think they’re worse than they are. Where people usually mess up is by not giving enough context when asking for help with something. My custom prompts would essentially tell the LLM to ask a bunch of questions first AND THEN answer the question.

Boom. Day 1 update complete. If you would like to use these daily updates as a form of accountability by posting below go right ahead! When I check in with my 108 crew some people just send a green check mark. Hmmm… Maybe this will be a thing… Maybe going forward I just post every day… We’ll see! :)

Have a good one! Peace!
