The post took 30 paragraphs (most are a single sentence) to get to the point, which is to recommend the Morning Pages exercise. It can be summarised as[1] “filling three sides of paper with words, stream of consciousness-style, first thing every day”.<p>They go on to say you “can do all your writing anytime, anywhere on this website, as long as you have a computer and access to internet”, that their metric is 750 words instead of 3 pages, and they require an account to use the service. I don’t see why you wouldn’t just do it in any semi-competent text editor, without needing an internet connection or another online account.<p>Finally, they end by suggesting the “don’t break the chain” productivity method[2], saying “it is inspired by a productivity trick invented by Jerry Seinfeld. You can google it for more detail”. If you google it, you might be quick to find out from the horse’s mouth that’s a common misconception, as Seinfeld did not create the system[3].<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/oct/03/morning-pages-change-your-life-oliver-burkeman" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/oct/03/morning...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://lifehacker.com/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret-281626" rel="nofollow">https://lifehacker.com/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret-2...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld_here_i_will_give_you_an_answer/ceiugt5/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld...</a>
I’m on mobile, and from what I could tell, this is all online - i.e. no desktop client.<p>If I sign up for this service and use it, where is my data stored? How safe is it? What will you do with all this deeply personal information? Do you plan to monetize it somehow?<p>Again - this is deeply personal information. I applaud your effort, but personally I would never use this, given the information on the website. I would also advise my friends and family to steer clear. Do you plan to monetize off the personal information? Is it fully encrypted in storage and transit? It would certainly help if you called out this information. Maybe you do - I just don’t see it on mobile.
