The original Notes Boost Challenge

If this is your first time, welcome!

  • For a step-by-step guide, FAQs, and tutorial video on the Substack Notes Boosts, go here.

  • Boost hours: 9 AM - 6 PM CT

Today’s prompt: Don’t be shallow. Add depth by showing the complexity of life.

  • Go to an old Note.

  • Read what you’ve written.

  • Take at least one aspect of it and prove yourself wrong, i.e., show the other side.

Something special:

What it sometimes feels like being in the Notes Boost Challenge…

Almost forgot…


Preview of tomorrow’s challenge: Style. Design your Note. Think like a poet; arrange your words for the reader’s consumption. Return to an old Note that’s dense, i.e., has blocks of paragraphs. Use white space. Use bullets (though poets don’t use bullets). Maybe bold a little something.
