Ryan Holiday's Writing Process Part 1: Cracking The Structure

[@zehnaahmad2122]

I have not seen you interact with many comments however I do hope that you get the chance to see this. I am a 16 year old in the UK who has been trying her hardest to live through the ideas of Stoicism. I do study Classics and thus was immediately drawn to your channel which introduced me to Stoicism in the first place. Through all my hardships, exam stress, personal development which, as we all know is a crucial point not just for teenagers but for all of us as humans, I have been able to use the art of being a Stoic to face these challenges. I'd like to thank you for your consistent efforts in ensuring that the beauty of this philosophy is not locked away in the past, but practiced by thousands around the globe. From London, we appreciate you.

[@苑舉民]

I thank you, too.

[@waywardnexus]

As another 16 year old in Texas thanks for all the insight and hard work.

[@bryceallen]

Working on my notecards right now. Been writing and accumulating my material for over a year. I feel like my piece is coming together. Always motivating to see you and Robert working on your craft!

[@johngeorges1510]

Ryan, I can not tell you how much I have learned and how much you have impacted my life. Thank you.

[@AnnaAwesome77]

You don’t want to see my pile of notes and note books!!! Messy…this is a brilliant share to help me be organized!!!! Thank you!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@OfJournalandJourney]

We must be related 😂 I have boxes of these lol

[@AnnaAwesome77]

@@OfJournalandJourney the truth is is that I just have boxes and little cabinet that I put together. They’re like little small ones of notes and things it’s kind of funny. I can sort them out. I just did one of the books it’s getting published and I can’t wait to share it with you all especially holiday, Mr. Holiday

[@OfJournalandJourney]

@@AnnaAwesome77 how exciting! Congratulations! 🎊

[@OfJournalandJourney]

I can’t tell you the amount of disorganized notes and books that has forever littered my desk for the past three years lmfao this was a much needed guide for me thank you ❤

[@TheNatural2379.]

Thank you Ryan, you've made stoicism a normal daily habit in my life. I truly believe you've made the stoic's of over 2000's years ago proud. I read Marcus Aurelius's Medations everyday. If I start to feel depressed or stressed, I go right to his book. Thank you. I look forward to reading your books.

[@MadeSportsEntertainment]

should sell the blank cards,chapter head cards, the plastic box, and of course some prompts as a kit ready to use

these BTS videos are SO rad. thanks for shooting. so cool to see the progress!

[@luiskranwinkel4296]

I feel like we talk daily, thanks for all your I formation and data.

[@officialwintur]

The notecard gave me an idea for my music production and for that thank you

[@NiJuiceProductions]

I really enjoyed having insight into your writing process! I hope to see more! I'm also excited to get my copy of "Right Thing, Right Now" when it ships!

[@PrimalExercise]

Good morning y’all hope y’all have a good day

[@adamjj85]

Have you thought about digitizing the notecard process or do you find there is a benefit from handwriting them?

[@avx4281]

Thank u Ryan.

[@robo3456]

I've been waiting for this

[@MensGroup]

How do you do these multi scene videos? You just write a script and then film one section at your desk, one section in your car etc? Or do you just wing it on the fly? Love your style of content. :)

[@Maikigai]

RVW was handed back to the states as it legally should’ve been. It is not a federal issue, so that was a smart and just move. And you are correct in saying that abortion is a complicated subject, but you’re talking about “forcing a woman to give birth“ versus “allowing someone to kill an unborn child“. It really should be no contest whatsoever. The only time, something like this should ever even be considered or allowed is when the life of the mother is in jeopardy. But there are several options already on the table that doesn’t result in anybody’s death, especially that of the child, which would include parenthood, adoption, Celibacy, contraception, etc. We shouldn’t be so gung ho on wanting to make abortion so readily available when it is in essence killing an unborn baby. I agree with and appreciate much of what you say and write, but it is bothersome that you were so bothered that women can’t just kill their unborn children whenever they want simply because they are inconvenienced by the outcome of their choices to sleep with someone.

[@jamesehoey]

Thanks so much for this, this is great help on my journey

[@dosesandmimoses]

I like your note card process. It makes it easier to categorize the book process in bite size.. I like it and it’s off line .. how do you secure your intell property when you write? Are you writing off line or on a type writer? Gratitude

Great Video! Below are the Keypoints Suammrized using ChatWithPDF: 📚 - The speaker is working on organizing a book divided into three parts, focusing on various topics such as time, punctuality, and justice. 🤔 - Reflecting on the stoic concept of justice, which involves living ethically and considering the common good. 🚗 - The speaker discusses being more present and relaxed in unfamiliar situations, drawing parallels to stoic and Buddhist teachings on impermanence. 💬 - Exploring the idea of justice in a societal context, grappling with complex issues like abortion and the role of politics in achieving justice. 🎸 - Finding inspiration for the book title "Injustice for All" from a Metallica album, using it as a motivational totem while writing. 📅 - Starting the writing process for the book, reflecting on the challenges of finding uninterrupted time amidst a busy schedule. 🌟 - Outlining the three main parts of the book: personal reform, caring for others, and heroic justice, providing clarity for the writing process. 📧 - Encouraging listeners to join a stoic community through a daily email subscription for further inspirati

Where do you get the notecard box with separate compartments?

[@arkoprabhamisra8417]

Recently i subscribed to daily stoic's daily emails. They are great! I want to know if i can read the emails before I had subscribed ( I mean if they are present in a website or archive) Anybody??

[@blackklu805]

I sometimes struggle with finding out that I don't know what I'm looking for, then I find something important when I wasn't even researching about it. I handwrite like Sir Greene, but now I'm on my 4th/7 day break to let the rough draft of book that I finished writing sit before typing it down because I'll find myself editing by then.

[@FRCooper6Plays]

Man’s literally breaking the law while driving and speaking about justice 🙄 6:31

[@fionagallagher984]

Does this apply to fiction?

[@AnnaAwesome77]

I don’t see the difference between fiction and nonfiction and reality of writing something that is trying to inspire people

[@samuelrichardson5953]

I believe it could be applied, with the only changes being in the research part of the process, if you're using fictional books as research. For example: If you're reading a fantasy novel, some things you could note down are, plot twists, strong emotional scenes, engaging characters, intriguing setting and interesting or tense conflict. Then from this when you're forming your own book and linking up the note-cards you can either subcategories the types of emotions, or types of characters or types of conflicts you want to create and use it as inspiration to make or express new emotions, characters, etc and in the process, making them unique and your own. That's my two-cents, I'd be curious to see how someone else would use this in writing fiction.

[@the-lenny-dood7502]

ok bro

[@jwwaco]

This morning on the daily stoic, called “What are you fighting for” It just didn’t seem like your normal style. This is a quote from it: “A couple years back, people stormed the United States Capitol because they were angry about losing a free and fair election and tried to invoke the mantle of the Founders. Not only were they wrong and evil…but then they whined like babies when they were maced by officers who really were pledging their lives to defend democracy.​“ Was that you?

[@lafarrar8000]

Boy, I'm right there with you, @jjwwaco. I'd like to see less political rhetoric from Ryan about what idiots he perceives conservatives to be. I didn't get into trying to live a stoic life to put up with liberals continually crying about Trump. I don't want politics to be a part of my stoicism journey. How about a little less judgment on both sides of the aisle and a little more information about living a stoic life???

[@AleinJohnSarmiento]

@Ryan Holiday you should invite Dr. Jordan Peterson to one of your podcasts. I think both of you can have meaningful, insightful, and intellectual conversation. By the way, your great mentor Robert Green was invited before in one of Peterson's podcast.

It seems weird to ask to have a thing then say it was a gift. lol. You make good money, just buy it and help out a small business owner. Sorry, idk why that’s so annoying to me.

[@8bitstriker138]

Ryan and that guy share the same building :) they know each other very well

[@CommIncenseCulture]

As if no justice is due to the life in the womb. It's no trivial thing to give birth, that's for sure. But is there nothing greater than our personal experiences? No Justice? No Good? No salvation in suffering? Is it not a good to sacrifice ourselves, or a moment of our lives, for a whole new life to emerge? I don't understand what the point of stoic ideas even means if we are only concerned about our own personal experiences in this life, and there's nothing beyond.

[@dinocarosi4303]

Well said, that line of his about this, pretty annoying. Like we're all listening to him say that and going "Oh my god, I know, right?" Ok, they turned it back to State's Rights. Much more appropriate anyway.

[@mariams307]

you don't mention the genocide in Gaza!

Dude... get Scrivener already.

Why mess with a process that clearly works for him (and many others)?

[@cjsplayingdead]

I wish the daily stoic email didn't include your personal-political bias and opinions, had to unsubscribe.

[@dinocarosi4303]

I hear ya on that. You'd think he could present the philosophy from a more neutral view. Or at least apply it to both sides of the aisle. But then again no one needs Stoicism more than nutty lefties. Maybe it's a Trojan horse...

Why can't you accept ppl for who they ARE not how you want them to be......

@@wicomms You're right, not very stoic to let my emotions on one topic stop me from learning something useful everyday!

Hi Ryan. Do you know that you are using a "Zettelkasten" in your writing process? The process of making your notes and cards and using emergent ways of writing is the zettelkasten method. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten
