My favorite people to follow usually have one thing in common: they work in public
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">on why it& #39;s something i& #39;m going to do more of this year:
working in public just means you share more than your final draft.
you share the ugly first notes, challenges with your second draft, and your thought process.
sometimes there& #39;s a bit about life in there too.

Some of my favorite people doing this:

Three simple reasons I like following them:
- they think differently than I do
- they& #39;re specific about their process
- they learn out loud

I hadn& #39;t seen a term for this until I read this post by @anthilemoon, founder of @ness_labs: https://nesslabs.com/work-in-public ">https://nesslabs.com/work-in-p...
Bookmark it to read in full. Here& #39;s my quick summary of the case for working in public:
Forced clarity: writing for people who aren& #39;t inside your head (aka everyone else) forces you to be as clear as possible.
Good writers are good editors: sharing in public encourages you to work through multiple revisions based on direct feedback.
compounding ideas: inspiration is usually the result of exposure to related but not-yet-connected ideas.
when you share your ideas, you& #39;re increasing the likelihood of making a connection.

I& #39;ve had countless new ideas that spun off of people sharing the one thing they learned that day.
and when you do that consistently, people notice. As @hnshah said, it& #39;s timeless: https://twitter.com/hnshah/status/1282559838954741765">https://twitter.com/hnshah/st...

The ultimate goal though, is community. A place for people and ideas to make connections: https://twitter.com/DruRly/status/1251157309943771136">https://twitter.com/DruRly/st...
TL;DR— working in public will change how you work for the better.
