Brain rot. Bed rot. Doomscroll. Slop.

The words we use say it all. What was once a place of curiosity and discovery now feels like a soulless, mindless bog.

But we've found another way.

We call it Bloom Scrolling. A more intentional way to interact with the internet. It's about seeking out positivity and beauty and originality, rather than succumbing to slop.

Algorithms have dulled our senses. We've become accustomed to hot takes, high stakes and half-baked content. We no longer research. We react.

Bloom Scrolling is an attempt to reset our brains.

The internet can still be a beautiful place. We just have to search harder to find the beauty. The more we do, the more we reward those who create it.

mymind is a place to collect the beauty.

Think of it as your own private garden. Feed it with inspiration and ideas. Come back and watch it grow. ✿

I bring the cheese. You bring the wine.

 The quote from Thomas Merton

“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”

 The path to serenity from the Tao Te Ching

“Fill your bowl to the brim

and it will spill.

Keep sharpening your knife

and it will blunt.

Chase after money and security

and your heart will never unclench.

Care about people's approval

and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back.

The only path to serenity.”

It stands for Didn't Organize, Only Moved.

If you're ADHD, you get it: Instead of organizing your things, you move them around in stacks to deal with later (which usually means never). mymind may be the only tool that gets it too.

✦ It works with your brain, not against it

With mymind, you just save it to your “pile” and move on. Your mind organizes it for you, so you can always find what you need later.

No distractions, no forced structure.

You're not messy or weird. You just haven't had the right tools. Now you do.

✦ P.S. We shipped a new Chrome extension update (works for Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge + other Chromium-based browsers). This new update brings enhanced capturing and classification accuracy, as well as improved performance and reliability.

✦ P.P.S. For all Mastermind members, we also improved how Reading Mode works on mobile. You'll now see the TLDR at the top of the article, along with a refined layout.

✦ P.P.P.S. Have a great day. We love you.

This quote by C.S. Lewis

“We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words — to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.”

This article from Gurwinder about how social media is changing our sense of time

“Continually dividing your attention between two worlds means you can never fully settle in either, creating constant anxiety and stress. And when attention is constantly switching between concurrent tasks, it imposes a “switch-cost effect” that can make people lose track of time.

Thus, by constantly interrupting you, social media platforms can impair your awareness and shorten your days even while you’re not on them, so that you end up scrolling through the real world as shallowly as the virtual one.”
