Interesting algorithmic data point: My blog post traffic on Linkedin (which point back to my blog, automatically posted every morning) is down 90% from a few years ago. But when I write a short post directly here, we're back to large numbers.

You can see how easy it is to get sucked into doing what the algorithm wants, instead of what works best for my work. Building and maintaining content on a platform we don't own is a risky trap.

Don't check into a motel where it's hard to check out.

[Update! Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this. Tomorrow I'm going to test a new format for my blog, using a Zap to bring it in without a link.]

GRATITUDE AND EMPATHY

Empathy is difficult. I’m not you, I can’t imagine the path you’ve traveled, the stories you tell yourself and the pressures you’re under.

But real gratitude requires empathy. Everyone is under the circumstances. Everyone does the best they think they can with the options they think they have.

All of us know what something is worth to us, but we often don’t think much about how much it cost.

Once we understand this, it’s easier to embrace the kindness and opportunities that people offer us.

PS here’s my favorite Thanksgiving Day post. It’s every day if we let it. Sending good vibes and hugs to you and your family.

MEDIOCRE MEANS AVERAGE

Two different ways to consider this:

First, in the marketplace, where most people, most of the time, want the thing that most people want. The average one. Exceptional is the exception.

Second, in the committee meeting, where the easiest way forward is to sand off interesting edges, eliminate unknowns and challenge as little as possible.

When you put these together, you see the relentless slide toward banality.

For people who care enough to develop skill and bring bravery to the work, this is a huge opportunity. Not an easy or an obvious one, but perhaps one worth chasing.
