Seth Godin’s Practice

Seth Godin, the bestselling author, lists one of his top five career decisions to be his daily blog and he recommends it to everyone.

I think there are two crucial elements of this activity that make it so beneficial. The frequency and the judgement.

Sticking to the daily deadline forces one to think.

Sticking to the public nature motivates one to reach a standard they are willing to be judged on.

Now daily blogging doesn’t guarantee good ideas. As Seth Godin has said himself half of his blog posts are below average on any metric you care to measure. That’s simple maths.

It’s a practice.

A habit that pushes the mind out of complacency and the individual to face their fears.
