SCT #216 -- Simple beats complicated.

Howdy Reader! I didn't set out to construct a complicated, hard-to-maintain content creation system. Over twenty years chipping away at things, though, that's kind of the way it's turned out. I'm making hard choices with what I'm doing, and being very careful what I take on. How much can be cut out?We can cut, and cut, and then cut some more. Eventually, we get to something that can't be cut anymore and still be viable. At that point, we've achieved minimalism. Things are as simple as they can get. Jamie Northrup reintroduced minimalism to my creative journey.I began writing on Medium at the beginning of 2024, and that's where I found Jamie. My newsletter was hit or miss, and his simple, minimalist format got me sending it out regularly again. It was short and easy to put together. It could be done in five minutes. Embracing this kind of newsletter got me over the hump to be consistent again. Jamie's take on content creation is great for busy people.He's very generous with what he shares, and his newsletter is a great place to start to see what he's about.

Howdy Reader! I'm back home after a great weekend with some of my awesome high-school classmates. And there were indeed lawn games at the event, haha! In an effort to focus on them and the weekend, I scheduled my content ahead of time. It's a key part of The GAS Method I've been working on. I managed to get a couple of days' worth of content ahead. Here's what I had in the hopper: Two WordPress articles Two Medium articles (basically the same as the WordPress articles) Two issues of my Solid...
Howdy Reader! Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be touring my old high school at 11 AM today. And I'll be having a picnic with a few dozen of my high school classmates in the afternoon. "With lawn games," I'm told. I likely won't ever, again, be in the middle of such a high concentration of Generation X. We're squarely in the middle of Gen X, which means our spouses are likely Gen X as well. We'll probably be all content to talk about drinking from the hose and thriving on benign...
