The Good Patrons of 750 Words

A Note of Inspiration from Dan Richards

4 cups

I have used this site on and off for years now. I am positive it has helped me in some way. The main benefits are clearing ones mind and exercising thoughts, perhaps to allow some to ruminate physically in the form of typing and practicing vocabulary or even to feel like you are achieving something and working towards a goal.

Beyond that, I would not say there are any benefits. Use it purely as a tool to clear your mind in hectic days rather than a place to create things of value. This is because the fast paced, disposable space of this site is not conducive to high quality work. High quality creations should be slow, thoughtful and deliberate. And that people are using such tools to get work done as fast and as easily as possible is very indicative of the times and what people value. That being quantity over quality.

Whats more, i think i am developing carpal tunnel in my wrist from typing so much. Not sure why, as i use wrist support too. I guess all the typing and strain on muscles has an impact. So i might stop using the site for a while. Or be more conservative in using it.

It is great for clearing the mind. Practicing with ideas and generally using it as a space for thought. Keep a clear mind and restful spirit people.
