Why I Killed My Newsletter
The other day, talflanchraych asked me why I didn’t have a newsletter. I told her that I had found the exercise to have been more time consuming than valuable.
It’s actually a bit more complicated.
I started my newsletter in Spring of 2008. I had a couple hundred people on my email…
approach
- follow the instructions. make sure it works the way the author intended first. arrive at a working state. this is usually not trivial.
- study its structure. change something small that is a step towards making the thing you are after.
- test to see if it still works.
- if it does, keep your change. if it does not, undo it to return to a working state.
- repeat from step 2 until you either give up or arrive at the thing you were after.
When you aren’t sure and want to step back, go HAM.
