Today feels like a small milestone.
I have posted on LinkedIn every single day for a month.
It might be too early to celebrate, but it is worth acknowledging. According to some studies, more than half of the people who commit to daily posting give up very quickly.
So at least for now, I am already beating the average.
This habit reminds me of something my postdoc advisor, Dr. Jun Liu, once said in class.
To learn something, teach it.
He learned it from one of his professors, and now I am passing it on with a twist.
I no longer work in a university, so I cannot teach a course. But I can write LinkedIn posts.
This has become my own version of teaching and learning.
After a month of daily posting, I realized that this is one of the best ways to learn.
Every day, I need to think about what to write. I also need to consider whether my post will actually help someone who reads it.
When I started, I worried I would run out of things to say if I only relied on my existing knowledge.
But that mindset is limited.
If I shift the focus to posting about things I am currently learning, the topics become infinite.
This is critical in our industry. Even in areas where I consider myself an expert, the field moves with incredible speed.
To keep up, I recently upgraded to the Pro versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I often have them debate complex topics or summarize the latest developments.
The results are often surprising.
Writing these posts forces me to synthesize that new information. It ensures I am not just reading headlines but actually understanding the concepts well enough to explain them to you.
The best way to stay relevant is to keep learning in public.
How do you ensure you stay up to date with the rapid changes in your industry?
