It was 2:30 AM, and I was casually scrolling through Twitter, not expecting much to happen. In the quiet hours of the night, everything feels a bit surreal, and sometimes you make decisions without much thought. That’s exactly what happened when, on a whim, I dropped a comment on a tweet by Notion’s founder.

I wasn’t expecting anything. It was one of those moments where you think, “Why not?” I didn’t overthink it or plan out the perfect response. I just put myself out there. Fast forward a little, and to my surprise, I’m now using Notion Premium — just like that.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson: sometimes, all it takes is shooting your shot. Whether it’s leaving a comment, sending a message, or putting forth an idea, you never know where a single action might lead. In this case, it led to me unlocking the premium features of a tool I had been eyeing for a while.

The Power of Spontaneity

What’s funny about moments like this is how unexpected they are. I didn’t plan for the outcome; I didn’t sit down and craft a strategic tweet. Instead, I acted on impulse, without any expectation of a response. That’s the beauty of spontaneity — it frees you from the weight of overthinking.
