Be it writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, or your favorite blog writers, all of them have one thing in common - they read (and I mean A LOT!!)
When I first started writing, I realized that writing was just half the part. Researching and coming up with great ideas was as important. That’s where reading comes in.
To write content regularly, I spend half an hour every day reading content on different themes like productivity, web design, business, and other unrelated topics. This has had a massive effect on how I interconnect different ideas together, come up with novel business solutions and you’d be surprised to know that’s how I have come up with different feature ideas for Brutask as well.
It has also helped me think from the perspective of my audience. I can not only see the benefits of that in my work life where I can step into the shoes of my customers but in my personal life as well where I can understand and empathize with people better.
Waiting for the cherry on the cake? It helps me connect with readers like you who have a whole new set of thinking, perspectives, and beliefs that can expand my vision.
Which is that one habit for you that has helped you improve yourself?
Love,
Siddhita ❤️
Thanks for sharing it, Siddhita. I am heavily inspired by awesome writers like you. I have a tiny blog (https://www.pankajtanwar.in/blogs) where I share my thoughts.
2 weeks back, I decided to solve a programming challenge every day and write a blog about it. I call it my coding diary (https://www.pankajtanwar.in/coding-diary). It's like a daily workout for me. I enjoy writing every day.
They will help develop creative solutions based on the latest research in design and perception.
I agree on this, consistently writing in general has always uplifted my spirit. What I struggle with is finding blog ideas I should write about. Do you have a process to come up with or find interesting blog post ideas?
This is profound. Innovation comes from synthetization. Where do you find reading material (blogs on medium perhaps)? Any books you've read that had a lasting effect on your work?
Showing up every day, even when you don't feel like it. Though I have to confess I'm not there yet, but I try to at least be as consistent as my current me allow :)
Re new features for Brutask, do you also ask what your current customers want?
Thanks for sharing, Siddhita!
