Do you think about learning in public every day and never take action?

I have been learning in public for 6 months now. And I have made more progress on my learning goals over these 6 months than in the previous 3 years combined.

But learning in public is intimidating (it took me years to commit).

So, here's the 1 tip I would give you if you wanted to reduce the pressure to start:

Start by posting one tweet every day.

And here are 3 reasons why:

Reason #1: Short-form writing is easier than long-form writing

I "learned" about learning in public by reading Medium articles about data science.

Analyzing the work of long-form writers was daunting. Tweeting solves this problem with a 280 character limit.

Reason #2: Daily consistency builds a strong habit

Consistently building complex projects and writing long articles seems impossible before you start.

Tweeting is the perfect method to start with baby steps.

Reason #3: Twitter has an active community of data nerds

The hard truth is that no one will see your work if it only lives in a GitHub repository.

But if you tweet about your project while making progress, you can build relationships and an audience to come take a look.
