  1. Discipline

    What do you do when you don’t feel like it? Especially then.

    ~ Seth Godin, from Our practice

    It’s been said that discipline is how you earn freedom; freedom in the sense of being able to do what you want with your time. Freedom, with a capital, is of course an inherent right. I tend to add systems and queues (a fancy word for piles of stuff to do) to both get things out of my head and to impose some order.

    But to answer Godin’s question specifically: When I really don’t feel like doing any of the things I’ve set myself up for, I step back and survey. Because it’s usually a sound indicator that I’ve got too many things I’m imagining I’m going to get done.

  2. Things that feel risky.
    Often aren’t.
    In fact, they might be the safest way forward.

  3. The easiest form of management is to encourage or demand that people do more. The other translation of this phrase is to go faster. The most important and difficult form of management (verging on leadership) is to encourage people to do better. Better is trickier than more because people have trouble visualizing themselves doing better. It requires education and coaching and patience to create a team of people who are better.

  4. Extraction

    This is a rich conversation around validation vs. reassurance, which I recently revisited. Go listen. (Seth Godin and Brian Koppelman, 7/7/2015, from The Moment podcast—from over 10 years ago, back catalog for the win!)

    I recently re-listened. Then I took the audio file, had a transcript generated (from otter.ai), passed it to Claude.ai who wrote me a magnificent list of takeaways. I’ve been reading over them, thinking about them, and weaving the ideas into my thinking.

    But I’m not publishing those takeaways because that would be devaluing Koppelman’s and Godin’s work. AI is a power tool which I use for various things. (For example, I use it to help me write show notes for my podcast episodes, which I do publish in full.) But I blog here to help my thinking (and in this case to encourage others to listen to a great podcast episode.)

    I’m not trying to give you all the gems all polished up from something someone else created. If you want the gems, go listen; Find your way to get the gems. Because the gems are only valuable if you dig them out and polish them yourself.

  5. 🚗✨ "Understanding Carriage" is a riveting deep dive into... well, nothing, honestly. Seth Godin's blog post is just another forgettable entry in the grand library of internet fluff that promises enlightenment but delivers more spam than substance. 🤖📧 Who knew understanding carriages involved subscribing to every course and digest available?

  7. Petulance

    If you’re regularly having arguments with well-informed people of goodwill, you will probably ‘lose’ half of them–changing your mind based on what you’ve learned. If you’re not changing your mind, it’s likely you’re not actually having an argument (or you’re hanging out with the wrong people.) While it can be fun to change someone else’s position, it’s also a gift to learn enough to change ours.

    ~ Seth Godin from, How to win an argument with a toddler

    slip:4useho4.

    It warms my heart whenever anyone describes an argument—what an argument actually is, not rather a fight which too many people refer to as an “argument.”

    I’m not the tantrum-throwing child Godin is (among others) referring to— but too often I can be the next child over in the stereotypical classroom: The petulant one. Yikes!

  8. @Sascha Alle sozialen Netzwerke, die stark mit Algorithmen arbeiten, sind anstrengend (für mich).

    Auf #LinkedIn arbeite ich mit der #SethGodin-Methode.

    Ich poste regelmässig, was mir gefällt und ignoriere alle guten Algorithmen Tipps.

    Anders als Seth Godin beantworte ich jeden sinnvollen Kommentar.

    In den letzten beiden Tagen habe ich zudem daran gearbeitet, die Notifikationen auf das absolute Minimum herunterzufahren.

  9. Within, not across

    Claude and I discussed it, and my theory (Claude is giving me full credit) is an LLM of this sort is not a communications medium at all. There’s no way for a human to put a new idea directly into it and no way to send that message to another human. Instead, my take is that Claude brings us everything it knows, and that its function is to help us go within, not across.

    ~ Seth Godin, from Across and within | Seth’s Blog

    slip:4useao2.

    A slightly longer than usual blog post from Godin making the interesting point differentiating across time, versus across space (just normal space, not outer space.) I know I find “talking” with LLMs very helpful for various reasons. I think the biggest is that it is (or at least “feels like”) one-on-one communication; It’s very much not social media where I always feel like I’m serving corporate masters by making grist for their mills.

  10. Faith

    The first thing you need to know is that individuals have far more power than ever before in history. […] The second thing you need to know is that the only thing holding you back from becoming the kind of person who changes things is this: Lack of faith. Faith that you can do it. Faith that it’s worth doing. Faith that failure won’t destroy you.

    ~ Seth Godin

    slip:4a657.

    I continue to enjoy the Movers Mindset project for many reasons. In recent months, I’ve been stepping back from the body of work and I keep having the same thought: I think this is really great, but I feel there should be something more useful as a result of all the work. (Useful specifically for me, I mean.) I’m convinced that there are lessons that I’ve missed, or not managed to hold onto; Insights that can only be seen from a perspective that is not within one particular conversation.

    So I’ve been tinkering on creating, well, something. I don’t know what it is yet, or how to describe it either. But I have faith that it’s worth trying to create something which enables something new to be extracted from all the conversations I’ve captured.

    Some days, I have far more questions than answers to share.
