I eventually overcame it.
Here are 4 steps to never run out of twitter ideas again:
ok, so you sit down to write a tweet.
you feel like Ernest fricken Hemingway.
You get ready to dip your quill pen into ink and compose the most beautiful masterpiece to ever grace the internet.
You tap out a few words.
You delete it.
You do it again.
You delete it.

You delete it.
You do it again.
You delete it.
After doing this 57 more times, you angrily close the bird app.
You repeat this process for a week straight.
In that time, you glumly watch all your twitter friends who seemingly have unlimited ideas
And you have no idea what is wrong with you..

STEP 2: Be a Coal Miner like @AliAbdaal's
A content coal mine is a blog, newsletter, youtube channel, subreddit, or podcast that has great ideas.
You "mine" for ideas by scouring these places.
Some places to start for people that love business stories + tech:

STEP 3: Twitter Advanced Search
Here's what I do:
1) Google Twitter advanced search and then go to "from these accounts".
2) Type in one of your favorite people to follow
2) Filter by minimum 500 or 1k likes
3) Scroll through their best tweets
