Right. So.
Most people think in lovely, flowing paragraphs. Like a Jane Austen novel having a chat with a LinkedIn post.
Me? I think in bullet points. Like a shopping list written during a mental breakdown.
And I used to think this made me mental.
(Spoiler: It does. But the profitable kind of mental.)
When you’re talking to me, I’m not hearing sentences. I’m seeing speech bubbles exploding into fragments:
• Thing you said
• Thing you actually meant
• Thing you’re trying not to say
• Thing I’m going to call you out on
My journal looks like a serial killer’s mood board. But with better handwriting.
Here’s the twisted bit: This broken-brain approach actually makes me money.
While everyone else is crafting perfect prose, I’m capturing the messy, jagged thoughts that solve actual problems.
Each bullet point is a thought I’ve mugged before it escaped.
Each list is me thinking out loud on paper.
Each fragment is a piece of the puzzle I’m building in real time.
The revelation that changed everything:
I stopped trying to write like everyone else.
(Because everyone else is boring.)
Started writing like me. Fragments. Lists. Thoughts mid-sentence that trail off into…..
And something magical happened.
My content got sharper. My thinking got clearer. My bank account got happier.
The dirty secret about list-brain:
It’s not scattered thinking. It’s surgical thinking.
While you’re crafting the perfect paragraph, I’ve already:
• Identified the problem
• Listed three solutions
• Picked the one that’ll work
• Moved on to the next crisis
But here’s what nobody tells you about thinking in lists:
It makes you write like you talk. Which makes you sound human. Which makes people trust you. Which makes them buy from you.
Revolutionary concept, I know.
So if your notes look like a conspiracy theorist’s cork board…
If your thoughts come in fragments instead of flowing prose…
If you’ve ever been told your brain works “differently”…
Good. The world has enough people thinking in paragraphs.
We need more people thinking in bullet points.
Because bullet points get shit done.
Your brain is wired differently than mine. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
How does your beautifully broken brain actually work?
