Be mindful of multiplying by zero. • Ideas without action = 0 • Great product with no marketing = 0 • Five-star kitchen with a flooded bathroom = 0 … - Dickie Bush

Start treating your writing like a startup.

• Ship an MVP
• Talk to users
• Analyze data
• Prioritize distribution
• Solve specific problems
• Focus on reader experience
• Say something different, not better

Lean Writing is the key to writing in the digital age.

You’re stuck because every time your mind almost has the space to come up with a novel idea, you interrupt it by checking your phone.

I’m convinced the single most powerful force of progress is momentum. When you have it, life is on easy mode and it’s easy to keep it. But society is designed to take it from you, so protect it at all costs. When you’re without it, start building it as quickly as you can. One small win. Then another. Then another. Before you know it you’re back riding the wave of progress.
