I know that recycling content is vitally important.
I have doubts, however, that people won't notice it. Or rather, most won't notice it, but a minority will, and will probably even point it out to us.
I rarely repost content with a simple copy and paste, but I prefer to rework it, even if only slightly. I add something or take something away, maybe I insert it into a broader discussion that differs from the original.
Well, on LinkedIn, the platform on which I am most active, when I do this, almost always some reader who follows me points out that they remember the previously published post, even from many months before.
This is to say that we shouldn’t rely too much on the poor memory and distraction of readers.
They are much more attentive than they appear to be.
Thank you very much for the post, Matt, really interesting.
These are really good tips! I need to improve on consuming content. Most of the time I am on autopilot that I overlook everything. Thank you for the ideas!
I’m wondering the same, which app for note taking are you using?
obsidian
I use Evernote currently, would you advise switching to obsidian?
if evernote works for you, no.
if not, it might be worth a try
thanks!
Thanks Matt! What note taking app are you using?
