ROI Is Dead
Tumblr is dead, blogging is sort of back, and so am I, with the effort to blog semi-regularly because otherwise I won’t get myself to a keyboard to type and hypothetically everything I should be doing involves a keyboard. There’s a lot of people who subscribe to the idea of morning pages and I guess that’s what I’m trying to do, but instead they’ll be late night pages. Stream of consciousness, no editing, no real intent to make coherence.
In addition, I’ve been reading about the idea of “stock and flow,” which I took from Austin Kleon’s post and he took from Robin Sloan’s idea. Writing day should, in theory, get your brain spinning over the stuff that you want to review, and one of the things I want to do this year is try to sit on ideas more, instead the quick ingest and rinse cycle.
"'Flow is the feed (“It’s the posts and the tweets. It’s the stream of daily and sub-daily updates that reminds people you exist.”) and stock is the durable stuff (“It’s the content you produce that’s as interesting in two months (or two years) as it is today. It’s what people discover via search. It’s what spreads slowly but surely, building fans over time.’"
