Hi. Today I’m reviewing How to Do Nothing: Resisting The Attention Economy by Jenny Odell. The End.
You Can Write Anywhere
Hi everyone. I’m just going to talk today a little bit about the importance of keeping a journal if you want to be a writer. The reason I say that is I think it’s through journaling that I really found my voice as a writer, and I think that’s reflected in modern times on blogs, people blog to find their voices, so that’s my speculation anyway. People are just more open about sharing stuff now online than back in the days when I kept a journal and it was meant to be for me. Although I did as part of a class keep a journal, which is why I’m, I’m suggesting doing it. It’s kind of like, okay, I learned from doing it and you can learn from doing it too. But I think the reason I wanted to talk about this also, I had the opportunity to basically do an informational interview with two students at the University of Maryland.
My Book Review of ‘Awakening Your Ikigai’
Lessons Learned from Seth Godin
Personally, I think one of the most interesting blogs today is Seth Godin’s. I read his blog daily, because 1) it’s easy to read, 2) he gets to the point (usually) without a lot of filler words, and 3) he has a lot of good suggestions to offer for anyone in almost any career.
If you haven’t read Seth’s blog, here are my take-aways from the last few blog posts I’ve read:
About “Not for Diana”
This story is ostensibly about the ability to sell a necklace that says “Diana” on it.
Imagine how many more you could sell, one man says, if it read “Not Diana”, because there are so many more of those!
