Seth Godin's Idea of Projects

 One of the best things about Seth is his clarity and the way he inspires. For example, one of his famous blog post is about years of projects.

He doesn't want to define himself through his jobs. Rather the projects he did in the year. And some years, it might one and some years it might be none. But you can too do this.

What might be a project?

It can be

1. A book you publish

2. A script you write

3. A song you compose

4. Dance you choreograph for a wedding

5. Make a compilation of good things to recommend

6. Help feed the needy

7. Make a hardware

8. Be a part of NGO for 100 days

9. Help teach at a local college

10. Help one person change their life

Start now and see your life get more meaning than you can imagine.

Writing Your Way To Success

 Writing is a standard thing, but it often seems trivial. It's something everyone can do. And as such, it isn't viewed as an art or career.

Sure, everyone can write and do so by engaging in chat apps or emails,etc. But writing down your thoughts daily to eventually make it structured and have meaning and impact translates writing into skill.

A skill you use in your office, school or to write a letter to your friend.

If you can write well and be personable then you can crack anything in life. Even if your main career is something else, writing down your process or what you do will help you gain clarity.

If you write it down, it's clear and communicated.

Writing is something everyone should do daily to improve because, in the modern world, writing is the way to connect on the Internet.

Getting Back Into Writing Habit

 Getting back into writing feels like a task. First, there is what to write about, and then, can you write enough? Because you have written a 1000-word article earlier, you will feel short when you can only write a paragraph.

And a lot of other self-doubts. But the crux is that writing shouldn’t target a specific word count. Because you should write something and then stop when you finish it. The length can be ten words or a book.

And there you have it. Next time, simply write and then stop. And if you feel like writing more, write the next day and so on.

Get Your Point Across

 The best writing from Seth Godin doesn't have a word count.

If it requires 10 words, then the blog post is 10 words. Or if the messaging requires 1000 words, then that's how long Seth writes.

Write to get your point across - no fluff.

Writing Clears Your Mind

That's a first benefit.

The second is that once you commit to something, you can do it for a long period. Seth Godin writes a blog post daily.

This in turn, helps you create a habit, and it gives you back so many things - ideas for other projects, direction and connection.

And if you are lucky, you might get permission from people to keep sending good stuffs and then you can practically earn a living from your audience.

You don't have to write - simply create something each day. It can be a design, code, connection, or even a physical thing. Just keep creating.

The Act Of Showing Up

 Seth Godin is a phenomenon in himself. He writes daily. For 20 years in a row. When you think about this output, it's scary.

But it's his decision. And that has made him a solid writer in sense.

However, he is simply not a blogger. In fact, there are no ads on the blog. He writes books but he does approximately one project per year.

It can be a job, teaching, seminar or revolutionizing marketing. And he keeps doing it. Many projects fail, some succeed. And that's how he has made a name for himself.

The key takeaway for you is this:

• if you want to do something, put more output. That is sure a way to get some quality work out there. By sheer amount, you will produce some great work.
• And live life as a series of projects. That is the most fulfilling way to live life. What are you doing now as a project?
