I started EW while I was doing CB. It was a side project to help my friend solve his problem, but it also allow me to jump from project to project when I got stuck or bored with one. I was able to reenergize myself and to learn faster and faster.
I am learning so much so fast. My brain is moving a mile a minute, trying to learn and process information. I want a place to put all this information that I can. It may not be the most organized or most dramatically correct log, but it will be a place for me to use to accomplish the following goals:
- Track my progress
- Document my ideas, assumptions, questions, risks, and thoughts. See when I had these ideas or questions in association with the timeline.
- See how quickly I am learning or closing feedback loops
- Have an organized inventory to go back and see what I have done, learn from my experience to improve, and keep myself accountable.
- Share with investors
- If I do raise capital or exit, this journal will allow new strategic partners (capital or operational) to get up to speed quickly about my progress.
- Get on the same page before proceeding. I want to be sure I am partnering with the right strategic partners aligned to my values.
- Eventually, synthesize and share with other founders
- Maybe write a book or a cleaner blog
- When I advise founders, I can share this with them to help them grow faster
