It can be scary to build in public.

You are afraid your ideas will be stolen, or that you will look foolish. You don’t realize it, but have let fear take control of the steering wheel.

Don’t be driven by your fear.

Here are 5 reasons you should be building in public.
πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1. Build trust

Because you share your failures, you show your audience that you are an open book and aren’t just trying to sell them.
2. Build your status

Because you share your process, people will associate your name with someone that builds products. When an expert in the field is needed, your name will be top of mind.

How I used audio transcription to create this essay on tackling big projects.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Start with your concept, perhaps based on something you've recently learned or heard discussed.

My concept was based on some ideas inspired by the excellent @NestedFolders podcast.

It can help to take a short walk in silence to bounce ideas around in your head a bit.
Once you have the concept, figure out your headline.

Attention spans are short, you have to grab their interest with a few words or they will not read.

Take @Nicolascole77's advice and focus on clarity, not cleverness.

Time is our most important asset.

It's the great equalizer, the ticking clock that none of us can escape. We must do what we can to preserve what we have available.

Follow these 6 principles to maximize that precious time:
1. Focus on what you can control πŸ”

Don’t waste energy worrying about things you can’t change.
2. Use a timer to keep your focus ⏱

A visual timer (e.g. Time Timer) is a great way to see time representedβ€”a reminder that you have dedicated this time to a single task.

How does TikTok content creation work?

In the spirit of "learning In public", I’m tracking my TikTok learnings in this thread.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
πŸͺ‘ Stitched videos on TikTok

Created my first stitched video. All previous videos received views immediately, but this stitched video still has 0 views after one hour.

The algorithm must give lower priority to this type of content.
πŸͺ‘ Stitched videos on TikTok (cont.)

The video I stitched was a month old, that could be the reason for algorithm punishment.

Will need to try a future stitched video with something more recent to see if that makes a significant difference.

β€œCan you take out the trash?”
β€œSure, babe.”


This simple question and answer happened every night.

She asked me to take out the trash, I promised to do so.

But I never did. Image of "How A Whiteboard Saved My Marriage", wri
I wanted to.

I believed the words when I said them.

But then I forgot.

Every single night.

For years.
By the time we discovered I had ADHDβ€”nine years into our marriageβ€”a lot of damage was already done.

Trust was broken and hope for restoration seemed distant.
