Another Day, Another Inbox Full of Ideas
So, I fire up the old thinking machine, ready to lay down some experiences, share a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. You know how it is, you get these requests, these topics people are curious about. And honestly, most of the time, it’s pretty straightforward. I like getting into it, figuring out how to tell the story right.
I usually start by just looking at what’s been asked. Some things click right away, like, bam, I know exactly how I’m gonna approach that. I’ll jot down a few key points, think about the flow, how to make it make sense from start to finish. It’s like building something, piece by piece. You want it to be solid, you want it to be clear.
But then, sometimes, a suggestion comes through, and I kinda have to pause. You read it, and then you read it again, and you’re like, “Hold on a minute.” There are certain subjects, certain angles, that just don’t sit right. You know, stuff that could be misconstrued, or that just isn’t what I’m about. It’s important to have some lines, I reckon. There are things I just won’t get into, simple as that. It’s not about being difficult, it’s about sticking to what feels right and, frankly, what’s appropriate to put out there. My aim is to share useful or interesting stuff, not to wade into murky waters.
- First, I check if the topic is something I can even talk about responsibly.
- Then, I think if it’s helpful or just noise.
- And finally, if it’s something that aligns with, you know, good practice.
So, if a topic feels off, I just can’t proceed with it. I’ve learned that it’s better to pass on something than to force it and end up with something that nobody feels good about. It’s a bit like sorting through a pile of mail; some letters you open and respond to right away, others, well, they go into a different pile. It’s all part of the process, I guess. You try to create something good, something that adds a bit of value, and that means making choices about what you work on and what you don’t. It’s a constant learning curve, this whole sharing game.
