The trouble with videos is that they can’t be edited after they’ve been uploaded. However, blog posts can! This offers so much more flexibility:
- Sharing ideas with you even if they are only 80% formed, so you get early access!
- Being able to publish so much more because there’s no longer a self-imposed fear of it not quite being perfect.
The key soundbite: I’ve let “perfect get in the way of being prolific”.
So going forward I’m making the website the focal point for new ideas, and you’ll see that I’ve roughly bucketed my posts (getting more polished in descending order):
- Snippets
- Notes
- Posts - (my previous bar for publishing)
- Featured
