Any of my homies still using this platform?

After over a year I came back here to check on things and all the posts and content are the same and just as boring. Don't regret leaving.

The most worthwhile life skill is learning to control your mind.

This might sound creepy but I love delving into people's thoughts. Understanding how people think is my go-to method for getting to know them and for client work, it's essential for building a clear foundation for their content strategy. In addition to picking their brains, I also suggest these 7 easy exercises to draw out experiences that are already in their arsenal: ↓ ↓ ↓ 1. Reflective journaling • Write down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences daily, and refer to them for content inspiration. → Use this as a memory-jogging tool and a source of inspiration for noteworthy moments, emotions, and insights to craft content. 2. Timeline mapping • Create a timeline of your life's pivotal moments, adding dates, locations, and emotional context for more impactful content and storytelling. → This helps identify pivotal moments in your life, tapping into shared human experiences that easily resonate with others. 3. Daily + on-the-fly capture • Commit to capturing one memorable moment per day while also recording any spontaneous thoughts, ideas or memories as they arise. → Recording memorable moments and spontaneous thoughts and ideas quickly adds to your content repertoire. 4. Stream of consciousness • Begin with a 5–10 minute timer. Choose any item in the room as your starting point to trigger your initial thought or simply use the first thought that comes to mind. Write down your unfiltered thoughts as they pop up. → This approach is valued for its ability to unlock creativity and mental blocks, reveal genuine insights and access your subconscious. 5. Interview • Conduct a structured interview with yourself or someone else to delve into personal experiences and stories. → This technique lends to clarity and organization of thoughts, facilitating a deeper understanding and articulation of your experiences and narrative. 6. Emotional cataloging • Make a list of emotions you’ve felt deeply, then think of the events or moments tied to those feelings. → These narratives not only evoke a strong connection and resonance with your audience they also showcase your humanity and the diverse facets of your journey; benchmarks for relatable human experience. 7. Target audience touchpoints • Use your target audience's touchpoints to evoke personal experiences. (their problems, fears, aspirations and desires) Read through each touchpoint to trigger personal memories related to each one. Record as many as you can. → This guarantees your content/stories strike a chord with your audience, fostering connection. Create a list to collect your ideas to turn them into content. Goodbye, writer's block + hello treasure trove of content inspiration. . . . Let me know if you use any of these methods for idea generation and which one you find most useful. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.

Curiosity + creativity are the salt and pepper of the human experience.

When a task starts to make you feel incompetent you have 2 choices: 1. let it mentally consume you + prevent you from taking action 2. flip the script and turn it into a game-like challenge - egging yourself on through a hard level Gamify challenges and the energy changes.

Do you really need to be told the thing you've been told 100 times already or do you just need to do the thing?
