Writing in public is important to me. It is part of why I wanted to do something new.
All my jobs, in some way or another, tie back to writing publicly. But I haven’t been able to do that since ~2018 or so (at least not as publicly as I would like).
I may dox myself at some point on here but I am not sure. I also want to write more under my real name on other platforms. Like LinkedIn. I think there is real alpha in writing on LinkedIn right now. I suspect that is a non-consensus opinion at this point, especially on here.
When I say I haven’t been able to write publicly, I guess what I really mean - under my real name. It has been a while. Twitter has been a good outlet in the interim.
I feel anxious about what this journaling looks like on here in the future. There will still be stock stuff. But what about the rest? I worry people aren’t going to care about how I spent most of the day thinking about e.g. not liking how strongly I feel the compulsion to figure out what I “should” be doing at any given moment. The inner critic says – “There are people out there in the trenches working 9-5s (or 8 to 6s or 6 to 10s) and you are just walking around listening to podcasts, show some respect!”
I’ll write anyway and get over that.
I think part of the journey here, besides actually learning about entrepreneurial paths and potentially kicking into process a job search if it comes to that, is actually sitting with myself for a little while and figuring out what I like and what I want to do.
