I’m undisciplind because I lack vision; if I act for the future, discipline is my partner. — I’m an information architect; I’m highly disciplined in my job, as information architecture is a mental discipline in action. I’m on the path of gaining the same discipline in life. Because writing is life. That’s why, at 22.13 CEST after my son started slipping, I’m writing on Medium. I know…

Well done! But not enough! — The first steps of a journey are exciting but also highly frustrating. A defined destination is there; you’re on the path, but how far is it?! That’s the worst mindset you can have when you want to reach a significant goal. Do you agree? Instant gratifications Looking after my very young son…

Writing daily on Medium makes me feeling less consumer, less entertained, and less in the bubble. — Since birth, parents, relatives, and friends have taught us the significance of consuming as much a possible — at least on the Western side of the world. No, they didn’t teach that explicitly, but through the example of their life. …

Starting my daily post, I asked myself, “Would an artificial intelligence (AI) be able to write a daily blog?” — I have a certainty: AIs don’t have children to take to daycare in the morning and can’t write about. Sure, they can steal content from a blog like mine, but that’s another story. As text creators, AIs are unbeatable. Who can compete against a computer? As content creators, instead? AIs lack life experiences

Here we are. My son is at the daycare, and I spend half an hour on my daily writing. Day 2. — Consolidating a habit should take three weeks, more or less, so 21 days. Day 2 of daily writing and publishing: it‘s still a long journey, but it started, which is good. Daily writing is not the only habit I’m nurturing. There are also two publications per week around a monthly…

Convergent thinking hugely supports the technical writing main goal, which is to converge to a plain communication — All disciplines, processes, and approaches have their value and convenience as they solve specific problems. But when we combine at least two, the result is much more than their sum. Let’s combine technical writing and convergent thinking to get a new and more powerful tool for managing information.

In my life, writing is more and more a need, even the need. At 47, I felt drained after months without writing; restarting in September was a rebirth. — My need for writing has nothing to do with the value of what I publish here on Medium. I hope to deliver helpful suggestions about thinking and technical writing, but I have no presumption. I’m sure you’ve often experienced the feeling of not doing what’s correct, but you missed the…

If a decision is like an axe falling on the tree of possibilities, communicating findings to people who haven’t decided but must suffer them can be even more violent — Communication depends on the target audience, which is even more pivotal when decisions negatively impact the recipients. There’s no way to communicate a tough decision and make it agreeable. The only opportunity is to deliver the communication as inevitable. Why should it be an opportunity?

A decision is like an axe falling on the tree of possibilities, reducing it to a single branch. It can be stressful. But there’s a way to overcome challenges when deciding: don’t reinvent the wheel. — Almost every activity can be done either as an amateur or a professional. Don’t get me wrong, ‘amateur’ doesn’t mean bad; there are great amateurs who can reach even more excellent results. But they fail to succeed again and again in a consistent way. …
