It’s good to shake things up and put your work on a public surface. Otherwise, it’s easy to forget that other people are experiencing your work too.

It’s also good to ask questions early on if you’re stuck, and to let people know you need help with your work. The alternative—not asking—may feel better, and ultimately slows you down, likely back to the point of inertia. 

Expressing yourself with vulnerability is the new competitive advantage.

P.S., The dates won’t make sense (I’m writing this on June 28, and backfilling the dates I missed last week—a trick to writing every day!). I just wrote and published my first thread in a long time.

The New York Times reports Marc Jacobs used to give Pharrell vouchers to shop at Louis Vuitton, which sounds delightful. I’m sure that this blog has about two decades late and a million followers short, though I’m optimistic one day that’ll be possible. 

Would you look at that? Two blog posts for the price of one. The joys of writing to think.
