Agreed that both doing and telling are important. When done well, both can become an art-form. One thing I find myself struggling with all the time is switching between these two modes of thought. I find that the switching cost to go from 'doing' to 'telling' is even higher than flipping from 'doing A' to 'doing B'.
- sgdesign 15y agoThat's a really, really good point. Once I switch myself to "telling" mode, I find myself maniacally refreshing HN, replying to every tweet, obsessing over traffic stats and referrers, and doing countless other unproductive things. I usually need a day or two before I feel comfortable ignoring the rest of the world while I switch back to "doing" mode.
