Ask HN: How did you go from consuming to producing
3 by quietthrow | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I would like to limit my 'consumption' (of information) and focus on 'creating' or 'producting' something to bring more engagement to my day to day life. I came to this conclusion as I have recently realized (and this may be obvious to others already) that while there is a absurd amount of benefit of having worlds information at your finger tips, one negative side effect is that consumption of information is so high we don't even realize it..kinda like fish not noticing water. Specially consumption without focus. In other words I'd consuming all kinds of information that may be very interesting but may never be materially useful to me or my goals. But having focus by virtue of producing I can leverage having access to the worlds information by being able to get all the information I need about something I am working on. Long winded way of saying that I want to move from be a consumer of things to producer of something (Even if its super small at the beginning) 1) What kinds of things have you tried when you began your shift? 2) What is some advice you would give to a beginner who intends t make this transition to increase their odds of 'transitioning/sticking'
