Something really interesting I've noticed about posting here is that it's all about inertia. The more you post the more your brain starts to think in posts. Posts start to appears in your head all the time. In the shower, while you're falling asleep. Conversely, if you stop posting your brain very quickly adapts and stops thinking in posts. You can ramp your ability to think in posts very quickly, but you can lose it even more quickly. A couple of days getting caught up in real life with no posts and your brain becomes completely post-free. You no longer see posts when you walk the dog, or do your washing. So what's the actual takeaway here? I guess if you want to be a great poster, you need to post so frequently that you're primed to think in posts. Think about the great posters of today, people like @tszzl , @growing_daniel , @yacineMTB , and @levelsio . They never take a break. They dream in posts. They live to exist in your timeline. These greats make a real sacrifice too. By thinking in posts you're inevitably going to be pulled out of real life at times. It's going to make you less present day-to-day. I guess its up to you to decide if thats worth it. If you really want to be a great poster then you don't have a choice. You need to think in posts.
