Everything becomes noise.
In all honesty, that's a big reason why I took a break of a few weeks from a certain social media platform…ahem, Linkedin.
The flood of AI templated, ChatGPT infused content had just been making the platform a bit of a slog for me in the last few months.
And reading Zsike Peter's wonderful THINKBAIT in the summer encouraged me to take a step back and reflect on my own output and whether I was in any way contributing to the problem.
So I took a break and re-evaluated.
Because regardless of the end result, I'm as much concerned about the process and what it gives me as I am by the output.
Sure, I've gotten a slow but steady stream of work on there from being consistent.
But I've felt the cognitive-cost of that.
It's taken up valuable time for reflection.
I've found myself having conversations I'm not invested in.
Plus - the brutally honest truth - I'm finding more rapid success in other places.
But rather than jack it all in together, I've determined to be a lot more selective.
And I'll definitely get back to posting, but not just for the sake of consistency.
