And the simplest way to start? Write for 15 minutes a day. Not to take notes, but to process ideas, challenge them, and create knowledge that actually 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒔.

It was not until I started 𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 with knowledge — writing about it, questioning it, making it my own — that I finally started learning in a way that lasted.
February 27, 2025 at 8:27 AM
The knowledge vanished like it was never there!

Because I never really 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅 it.
I never connected what I learned to my own experiences, observations, or how the world actually worked.

You are definitely talking to me in that landing page 😅

Having said that, I love your guide. It is a great checklist for a high-quality article.

That's the challenge for me.

I use AI for copyediting because I want it to improve my style (my English and writing have improved as a result).

When I asked it to analyse my style, it did a great job, so good that the editing got terrible as a result 😅
February 25, 2025 at 9:30 AM
So if you use AI as a copyeditor (it is excellent for it), check it is not removing you from your own text.

Convoluted sentences, hard to understand words, or just a specific type of sentence may just be what makes you YOU.
February 25, 2025 at 8:30 AM
For an AI (or even a human) copyeditor, these may all be the same, unless you explicitly ask to change it.

The third one feels like we are sure, but want to emphasise that we have no proof: "I was my grandma.. I suppose. I am pretty sure but don't quote me on that"
February 25, 2025 at 8:30 AM
The second one is like when we judge our thoughts midway and that appears in the middle of the speech: "It was **I second guess myself before completing the sentence**, I suppose, my grandma. Hm, thinking about it I am not entirely sure, but I really think it was her 🤔"
February 25, 2025 at 8:30 AM
In the first one, it is like a total guess: "I suppose it was my grandma, but I have no idea, really! It could have been someone else".
February 25, 2025 at 8:30 AM
Here is a simple example of "voice" and personality appearing in text.

If someone asked me: "Who gave you this?"
I could answer:

- I suppose it was my grandma
- It was, I suppose, my grandma
- It was my grandma — I suppose

Same idea, different personalities and implied meanings.
February 25, 2025 at 8:30 AM
Removing my voice appears like:

- removing my experiences (the examples I give to illustrate a point)

- changing the way I speak (too much — to the point where it doesn't sound like me)

- removing nuance

The text becomes clearer but my personality is, sometimes, totally removed from the text.
February 25, 2025 at 8:30 AM
I always heard people talking about "voice" in writing but I never really got what it meant, until AI started kinda removing mine from my own texts.

Your thoughts should be yours. Not dictated by advertisers, algorithms, or chance encounters.

Ready to take back your mind? We would love to meet you there!

So this month, I decided to quit X. Instead, we built something better.

Inside the Lifelong Learner’s Paradise, we created our own social feed — one designed for real engagement with ideas that matter. No noise, no algorithms, just knowledge worth your time.

Then social media came along. And suddenly, I saw the same patterns creeping back in. Mindless scrolling. Depressive thoughts I did not choose. My mental space, once intentional, was being hijacked again.
February 24, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Back in 2010, I quit watching TV and never looked back. For the first time, I felt in control of what I engaged with — choosing ideas worth my time instead of passively consuming whatever was put in front of me.
February 24, 2025 at 6:31 PM
A comment from someone you will never see again lingers for hours.
An ad you barely noticed shapes what you think you need.
A doomscroll session hijacks your mood.

I learned this the hard way.
February 24, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Indeed!
