(Quick Q&A with myself)

  • Am I an expert content creator?

Sure not.

  • Am I getting better at it by the day?

My mom says yes. And Metrics too.

  • Did I study Marketing, Communications, Design, or anything related?

Well, I read a lot. On various topics. And do a lot. Online and craft. But no, no formal studies for me.

  • What is the key to making you progress?

Every-day commitment. Experimentation by trying new approaches. And most of all: not relying too much on what everybody out there is recommending, which is exactly the saaaaame bits of advice on habits, extensions, books, you name it. No matter if you are seeking pointers on writing, creativity, or photo editing. The same is everywhere.

  • Yeah, it’s cool to follow @elonmusk on Twitter and stay updated on any crazy project he´s up to. Same thought had his 111.8M Followers.
  • Who is not prescribing Atomic Habits, by James Clear, to get a hold of your toxic routines? (which of course I read, and found insightful but not life-changing as everybody suggests)
  • Why not use Hemingway App and write “bold and clear”…
