What is adding frictionš¼to My Writing?
Hey Fam! Welcome back.
In my days of MBA, which werenāt long ago, every operation had some sort of bottle necksš¼(I couldnāt find any other halal emoji).
I like to call it friction,
When it comes to writing these emails to you, i too have some things that can make the production slow or even impossible. Like
- Procrastination
- Thinking that i need a day to write all of them while i only need a small pocket of time i.e. 15 mins to do it(more about small pockets of time in one of my future emails very soon, its already writen and batched to be released in a pipeline)
- Finding perfect emojisš
- finding the perfect picture as the main heading
Itās been around 15 years that i have been following Seth Godin and his daily blog, Yes heās got a DAILY BLOG.
He recommends that everyone actually does that, are you kidding me?
But when you analyze his blog, you realize that itās possible
- its is simple,
- with only a few sentences
- you dont need to enter any new page to read the other post just keep scrolling(lesser friction)
- and just a date tag with no heading as the heading takes a lot of time(ask me)
- It only consists of one idea(s) per day
- Itās what i call as an online journal which happens to be more polished coz you know people will read it. this is how ideas donāt die and get buried under the pages of your journal.
The least friction you have the easier the production will be and you can focus more on consistency which leads to mastery in any dicispline.
