Hi, I'm Imperfect. I'm a reply post fanatic. Follow along with Atom or RSS. Email me via your mail client or...
Be right back, I'll resume posting once I have sent out 100 emails after having published this post. Wish me luck! Maybe you can run with this experiment too? For that matter, you could help us both out by sending a nice, supportive email my way. Who else do you think would benefit from trying this challenge out? Tag some friends and see how they fare if they so choose to play. Beyond your…
With not having written nor scheduled much blog posts lately and Nate's Taking a week off on my mind, I believe it's a convenient time to take a month off posting myself. Like him, I have no hard feelings toward the activity, even after 186 daily posts including this one. My idea is driven by curiosity about how a dedicated, publicly proclaimed break could enrich both my written corpus and my life…
In Blogging Can Just Be Stating The Obvious , Jim wrote: I often look at my own posts and think, “There’s nothing novel, or important, or deep in here at all — is this even worth saying?” How can I guarantee that nobody will ever find anything of mine worthwhile, important, novel, or deep? Sharing what seems obvious to you can fit any or all of those criteria, particularly with how you can…
It looks like Fendogg is going through the struggle . However, before diving into that, let's welcome them to this space. It's cool how new names and voices keep popping up here, whether on the platform or in these posts of mine. I'm looking forward to seeing those appearances continue for as long as they can. Multiple years here have shown how commonly people feel the struggle to make things.…
Paul's Redacted Brands shows just how well following FIFA's World Cup branding rules have gone. Temporarily renamed stadiums, disguised brand logos, and taped-over product labels all triggered the Streisand effect . Public awareness of what was changed or censored has only increased. FIFA's mandatory debranding is so foolish that multiple articles have covered it at this point. For example, take a…
In I have a hard time getting started , no one explained her annoying habit that I'm sure some of you empathize with: I can plan to do something but put it off because I instinctively create extra steps to achieve it. I plan and prepare and research... but I never even get to it until much later, if at all. While the following approach isn't always feasible, would it be possible to just start…
In Pangram Reminds me How Little is Real on the Internet , Darwin wrote that Pangram's Chrome extension supposedly flagged a few posts atop Bear Blog's Trending page as highly likely to be AI-assisted. Can anyone willing to use or curently using the AI detection tool show which posts get flagged, Pangram's reasoning, and other crucial details that his post lacks? Then again, his breaking point is…
Lowering your standards can increase your acceptable creative output and reduce your attachment to outcomes without needing to lower the quality of your work. I believe that artists create art less the more they believe they can't. What faith should I have in self-proclaimed washed-up artists who haven't shipped art in years? I expect positive self-prophetic beliefs and more frequent output from…
You can treat more compelling wants as a reward for having fulfilled less compelling needs. Inspired creativity keeping you up past your bedtime? Reward yourself with resuming your pastime at some point after a good night's sleep. Social media keeping you from starting your exercise regimen? Reward yourself with virtual engagement after having concluded your physical activities. An unclean home…
Before moving elsewhere, try finishing everything you need done in your current space. The quicker you cross out your mental checklist items with less context changes, the better. The larger the distance between where you are and where you need to go, the more savings you can earn. This approach can prevent unfavorable scenarios including, but not limited to the following: needless backtracking,…
