Getting thoughts out
The first job is to make it easy to capture what’s on my mind. That could be an idea, a worry, a plan or a passing observation. Sēlo’s writing surface keeps that starting point simple, with space to write and a control for recording an idea.
I want it to be useful before a thought is polished or neatly categorised. Getting it down comes first; giving it structure can happen later.
The Raspberry Pis are part of how I want Sēlo to fit into everyday life: a way to capture a thought or get a reminder without first finding the right app. The aim is to help me pick up the thread of what I was doing.
Finding a structure
Collections let related writing sit together. They can be nested and reordered, with a preview of the writing inside each one. That gives me a way to organise broad areas of life alongside smaller, more specific threads.
A counsellor and coach
The direction is more than a place to store writing. I’m exploring how a personal system can help me reflect on what I’ve captured, understand what matters and decide what to do next.
The counsellor and coach idea describes where I want to take it: a system shaped around my own thoughts and circumstances, with room for both reflection and practical progress. Sēlo is still being written.
