I was distracted with it. Couldn’t focus. It was a tough decision because I learned so much on X, yet it didn’t help me prioritize my time the way I wanted. Since leaving I’ve seen the increase in my focus levels and feel an improvement in accomplishing my life/work.
I really respect this. I only (re)booted an old Twitter / X account because I started writing but I refuse to use any others at this point, mostly because I do not have the bandwidth to monitor and manage multiple social platforms.
I personally believe that I can reach the goals that I have for my writing without having to be on all of them but perhaps that's a bit naïve. I hope I'm not wrong!
I appreciate the input. I think when used as a tool it’s great. Also what might work for others might not work for me is how I look at it. Glad to see you continuing to pursue your writing goals, starting with this newsletter here.
Appreciate it Josh. I'm trying to get back into it. Only a few know what's real and what's not! But, my privacy is of utmost concern in a world that's growing with surveillance.
I can understand and respect that. Would be down to keep the convo going in privacy if you’re up for it. You’re welcome to email me at josh@xtechnologies.io if you like.
Recently I’ve been learning more about writing project dev packages to more efficiently spin up my future dev projects. In addition to that I’ve been working on being more mindful about shipping what I make even if it isn’t perfect.
Seems like Stanford, Google and Microsoft each have solid intro courses. Will definitely check those out. Thanks for noting your top picks.
No worries! By the way, your link to X is broken on your Substack profile. 😬
Ooh I missed that one. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t have an X account anymore.
Ah! Curious as to your reasons?
