Writing

Writing is thinking, but we are incentivized to do rather than think. If you’re good at what you do, the market (the people you know professionally) will discourage you from changing.

For a change to be strategic, creative, and aligned with the person that you are, it must be done independently (in solitude) and before measuring it in the world. When we change what we do, we write a new way of being ourselves at work. And that always requires language.
