Publish for clarity

[Reading Time: 4 minutes]
[Vibing Time: ∞]

I made a mistake.

For years, I have written all my ideas in my notebook. Published for only my eyes.

This led to several issues:
- No one saw my ideas
- No feedback, no idea evolution
- No clarity (and worse: foggy head)

Your notebook is a 1-way street.
The internet is a 2-way street.

Benefits of Publishing

1. Feedback: 
Publish. Listen. Refine. Repeat.

See what resonates. The feedback will give you more ideas.

2. Clarity:
Thoughts evolve. Publishing accelerates clarity.

You’ll recognize patterns and will get to know yourself better.

3. Accountability:
People are watching. Put yourself on the hook.

Sign yourself up for a weekly newsletter or thread.

4. Connect:
Attract like-minded people. Make Friends. Meet collaborators.
When you publish, you open up opportunities to attract and collaborate with like-minded people.

Use a magnet, Not a magnifying glass

5. Body of work:
Build a portfolio. One piece at a time.

Over time, this can lead to opportunities, recognitions, or just personal satisfaction. You will see yourself grow

How to start publishing

1. Pick a medium: It can be a newsletter like this or a social feed. It doesn’t even need to be on your own feed. Publish your ideas in the comments section to start.
2. Choose a topic(s): Where can you add value with your unique voice and experience.
3. Start publishing: Get started and iterate over time. You’re work will only be seen by a few people, but you might change 1 person’s perspective.

Don’t worry about rejection or what others might think. If you need to, start on a platform where you don’t know anyone like reddit.

Having your ideas rejected and challenged is evolution. It is critical to growth.

Time to publish.

Thank me later.
