54 days ago I had 12 followers.
Today I'm at 700+! 🙏
I'm like you. . . I live a busy life.
And since I don't have time to be on Twitter all day, I've had to figure out how it all fits.
I'm still learning, but here's what I've learned so far... 🧵
How to fit the bird app into your busy life:
• Own your attention
• Schedule tweets
• Write for quality
• 2 tweets / day
• 1 thread / wk
• Engage for 2x25mins / day
Simple— don't complicate this.
How to engage:
• Forget the algorithm
• Don't apologize for being yourself
• Have fun
• Make friends
• Answer questions
• Ignore whiner-babies
• Block
On writing your tweets:
• Don't force a tweet
• Don't tweet when tired
• Edit ruthlessly
• If you're unsure about a tweet, sleep on it (it's probably crap)
• Read a lot— reading is tweet fuel.
• Write down your ideas... YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER
On nuance:
• The Tweet format isn't great for nuanced thought.
• Say what you're going to say, then discuss it.
• Your newsletter is the place where you can express your thoughts in all their nuanced splendor.
Speaking of which, my newsletter is going crazy!

First time for everything, I guess.
Why?
Because some folks don't play nice.
And since I\u2019m big on guarding attention,
My intention on here is to give mine to high quality peeps.
There's no upside to putting up with fools.
