Lessons Learned – May 2018

Things Learned in May

This was a month that was designed to experiment. I wanted to take apart certain aspects of my life and try different things. Here are some of the things I did, as well as the results.

• Blog
  • Successes: Link posts, Stray Thoughts,
  • Failures: Video and audio
  • Lesson: I don’t share enough point of view on this blog. Making room for it during the week could help me exercise my writing skills.
  • Moving forward: One or two of those posts per week, let them evolve.
• LinkedIn
  • Successes: Videos!
  • Failures: Pictures, blog posts.
  • Lesson: Videos are fantastic. People seem to like them.
  • Moving forward: More video content, even haphazard video content to test.
• Life
  • Successes: Books (Look ma I’m reading again!)
  • Failures: Job search (yikes!), Writing (double yikes!!)
  • Lesson:  I need a process for a few things, and I need to time them:
  • Moving forward: Books in the morning, on commutes, meditation as soon as I wake up, double down on asking for jobs (hmmm).

This was a fun and scary month. I learned a lot.

Thanks for reading.
