Over the course of a day, I have 4 or 5 events that lead to insight, and yet, I’ve been reluctant to capture my thinking. I feel as though I can’t post partially developed insights, and limit myself only to articles that I can complete, which require time and patience. Limited in both, I have caught myself shifting to short-form media types like Twitter to maintain my voice, but isn’t there a happy medium? I don’t think I am alone in this issue.
I am a millennial. In part, my generation is defined by our relationship with technology and the desire to be social. I identify with this culture of sharing. Whether I’m crowd-sourcing a recipe, sharing my location, or reading Facebook updates, I use sharing as a way to keep a pulse on and connect with my network. I want to share what I think. Furthermore, I am aware of the information that is available for my consumption. In fact, I often find myself in a state of information overload. I navigate towards information aggregators, and seek curated content that is easier to digest. I consume in bite-sized pieces. But why have I been reluctant to reformat my own approach to knowledge dissemination?
This year, I will accept my fate as a millenial
I don’t particularly prescribe to New Year’s resolutions, but a new date does provide an excuse to re-evaluate and re-align.
And so, I give in, or rather, I choose to adapt. I might have been in denial, but I am a millennial. I am supposed to embrace change. So, here’s to a year of accepting who I am, sharing more and typing less.
How will you adapt this year? What will you do this year?
