I’m so confused. I suppose that’s what you get once you hibernate from all issues public for 2 years, then choose your head up and take a look at to determine the easiest way to interact with the world once more.
When life was easier, I simply posted to my weblog at feld.com. You may subscribe by RSS or electronic mail (through MailChimp). It robotically tweeted a hyperlink to the put up.
When Medium turned a factor, I used a WordPress plugin to cross-post there till it stopped working. Finally, I grew uninterested in having the identical context seem on Google twice – as soon as underneath my weblog and as soon as underneath Medium, so I deleted my Medium account since I wasn’t utilizing it for the rest.
After I fired the whole lot again up on April twenty first, WordPress now had a LinkedIn cross-poster in-built, however not had a Twitter possibility. I had deleted all of the social apps from my iPhone after I hibernated, so I downloaded X, LinkedIn, and Jetpack and received the whole lot working once more. I additionally realized some new and thrilling issues, akin to the best way to use AI to generate a featured picture just like the one on this put up, which, er, has some points …

I used to be interested by how the person interface labored, so I arrange a Substack account yesterday. I ran a survey on X and LinkedIn to see if I ought to use my Substack account for content material for Give First: The Energy of Mentorship, together with my weblog.
Pre-hibernation, my engagement on Twitter was 5-10x my engagement on LinkedIn. This has now flipped, and LinkedIn is 2-5x my engagement on X.
True to type in 2025, I’ve countless electronic mail, iMessage, and Slack. I reinstalled WhatsApp and joined a number of teams. I’m even attempting out Vinly and Whop to see if both is an efficient neighborhood system for Give First: The Energy of Mentorship, though I would like to seek out time to place some actual effort into each to see if they’re helpful.
I’m not fully certain what I wish to do at this level, so, like many different issues in life, I’m figuring it out by enjoying round with stuff and gathering suggestions alongside the way in which.
