Showing Your Work

It’s getting harder to show your work. What are you going to show when asking a question to a search engine? Your question? What about ChatGPT? Your prompt? Work is important, it matters, but showing what you are working on, and how you are arriving at your answer is changing. The question of how you got to that answer needs to change as well. I tried this, then I tried that, I didn’t agree with all of it, so I dug deeper, then I thought of this, then I asked someone for help and then I got here. Showing your

Gut It

Ever looked at a project and thought – “This is a gut job”? Take it right down to the bare bones, save nothing, and start all over again, from the foundation up?

Not in the 17 side-jobs you have or all the extra work you do. It’s in having that one job, that one purpose, and determining how much you want to go for it. How much do you need to go for it and go for it? You never stop going for it, you keep going for it and never stop.
