As someone who writes a “how to do stuff” type site, it can be hard to find that balance between talking about what to do and why you might want to do it in the first place.
I always try to focus on how what I write might actually help people, which is why I am really intrigued by the new project by my friends Mike Vardy and Michael Schechter: Workflowing. (You might recognize those names from the Mike Techniques podcast I did recently).
From their What to Expect from Workflowing post:
All too often, attempts to do better get lost in learning how to do better. While we will certainly help you find the tools, tactics and tricks that will help you along the way, we decided to put something at the core of this site that will help us all to focus on the bigger picture.
This looks really great. I’ve subscribed to both the RSS feed and the newsletter. We’ll see what they come up with.
