I’m a good writer. I’ve put in my 10,000 hours.
I learn from the ideas I share weekly in my For The Interested newsletter.
And I want everything I write to be great.
But that doesn’t mean this post will be. It probably won’t.
Let’s start with the truth.
Social media is dangerous.
It’s addictive, causes anxiety, and is operated by platforms who don’t act with your best interests at heart.
But that’s not the whole truth.
“Small choices become actions, actions become habits, and habits become our way of life.”
“Growing accustomed to missing out takes time, but learning to say ‘no’ to things — even when you truly wish you could do those things — is an indispensable tool for maintaining focus and productivity with your art.”
“If you fail to distinguish yourself in any meaningful way, your customer will default to price as the final criteria.”
“Science tells us it’s got to be a minimum of 20 seconds. That feels like a lifetime to everybody. But that’s the way it’s got to be if you want to be 100 percent correct and ensure your hands are sanitized from any potential microorganisms.”
“To know is to be in a prison. To not know is to be free.”
“People are afraid of making the wrong decision, and at the base of that is a fallacy of what a good decision even is.”
“One of the hardest parts about building a brand online is accepting the fact that what works today, won’t necessarily work tomorrow.”
“We have provided a place where when no other place will welcome you, you have a seat.”
