Here's how 👇
Share your thinking, content, and research. You'll supersize your mind.
By getting feedback from every corner of the globe, you'll accelerate your progress.
Engagement signals insight, clarity, and demand for an idea.
If you write on Medium, you can see what people highlight the most.
If you write on Twitter, you can see what gets the most likes and retweets.
Over time, you’ll distill your ideas.
You’ll share them more and more efficiently.
More signal.
Less noise.
Data fueled creation.
They see what you watch and what you skip.
They see what you like and what you don’t like.
Netflix does more of what works and less of what doesn’t.
We distill knowledge and information every day.
It’s how we handle complexity.
Societies distill knowledge into myths and stories.
Amazon’s mission is distilled into a simple maxim: “It’s always Day 1.”
America’s ideals are distilled in the pledge of allegiance: “liberty and justice for all.”
Make big things by doing small things consistently. By working in small batches, you’ll accelerate feedback rates.
This is important because feedback raises awareness and accelerates learning.
You’ll become agile — both fast and nimble.
Two iterations at a 2% defect rate produce a quality level that is 25 times higher than one iteration at a 1% defect rate.
Break down your ideas and recombine them.
Re-use your best ideas for future projects.
Combine twitter threads and turn them into a blog post.
Then, turn the best blog posts into a book or apply them to your work.
Same amount of work.
Double the productivity.
This is like steroids for the creative mind.
As @Naval says: Twitter is like poetry — every word counts.
Look at @benthompson and his blog, Stratechery:
Stratechery is a journal of Ben’s attempt to understand how technology is changing every aspect of society broadly. But instead of writing books, he blogs.
In 2015, he published 6.5 books worth of content.
In 2017, he published 182 pieces of content.
That’s lots of feedback.
This is how Andy Weir wrote The Martian.
One chapter at a time. Feedback at every step.
He published it on Amazon and sold 35,000 copies in three months.
He sold the book rights for over $100,000.
Then, it became a movie that grossed ~$172 million.
Tons of people give me feedback on my “Naked Brands” theory. They push the theory forward more than I do.
I'm writing a book, one blog post at a time.

It’s measured by value created, not hours worked.
Done right, we’re no longer limited by the limits of our time or the limits of our knowledge. We can quickly and continuously refine our ideas and boost our output.
