Counseling-specific licensure oversight ensures professional standards. I urge you to remove language in SB 2227/HB 2539 that would dissolve the LPC Board. Preserving the board protects consumers and supports TN’s participation in the Counseling Compact.

The health impact is shocking--the U.S. Surgeon General warns that social isolation is as risky as smoking 15 cigarettes a day! Small “micro-social rituals” and virtual co-working are practical ways to stay connected and protect your mental health ⬇️

A few things that surprised me about Kevin's writing process:

1. He's one of the most prolific writers of the past 50 years, but writes reluctantly.

2. He doesn't particularly like writing first drafts, but loves editing.

Here's our full interview.

[David Perell @david_perell]

Kevin Kelly is one of the most influential tech writers of the last half-century.

He's published 14 books, founded Wired magazine, and maybe even traveled to more places in Asia than anybody in human history.

Here are 28 of his best maxims for writing:

1. Don't aim to be the best. Be the only.

2. Don’t create things to make money; make money so you can create things.

3. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

4. Always demand a deadline. Doing so weeds out the superfluous and prevents you from insisting on perfection (which will limit you as a writer).

5. To write about something hard to explain, write a detailed letter to a friend about why it is so hard to explain, and then remove the initial “Dear Friend” part and you’ll have a great first draft.

6. The work on any worthy piece of writing is endless and infinite. Since you cannot limit the work, you must limit your hours.

7. Books are never finished, only abandoned.

8. When you are stuck, sleep on it. Give your subconscious an assignment while you sleep. You’ll have an answer in the morning or by the next time you sit down to write.

9. A multitude of bad ideas is necessary for one good idea.

10. The greatest teacher is called “doing.”

11. Efficiency is highly overrated; goofing off is highly underrated.

12. If you have a good idea, write it down. Don't assume you'll remember it.

13. Writing is not selfish; it's for the rest of us. If you don't do your thing and share your writing, you are cheating us.

14. Most articles and stories are improved significantly if you delete the first page of the manuscript. Start with the action.

15. The best way to learn anything is to teach what you know (and you can do it at scale by writing).

16. Productivity is often a distraction. Don't aim for better ways to get through your tasks as quickly as possible. Instead, look for writing projects that you never want to stop doing.

17. Occasionally your first idea is best, but usually it’s the fifth idea. You need to get all the obvious ideas out of the way. Try to surprise yourself.

18. Pay attention to what you pay attention to.

19. To be interesting just tell your own story with uncommon honesty.

20. Ironically, the best time to write a book is once you're done with the speaking tour for the book.

21. Read the books that your favorite authors once read.

22. When you find something you really enjoy, do it slowly.

23. The main reason to write something every day is that you must throw away a lot of good work to reach the great stuff. To let it all go easily you need to be convinced that there is “more where that came from.” You get that in steady production, which comes from a steady writing habit.

24. Habits are far more dependable than inspiration. Make progress by making habits. Don't focus on becoming a better writer. Focus on becoming the kind of person who never misses a writing session.

25. The quality of a piece of writing hinges on its structure. Nail the structure and the ideas will fall into place. You'll know the structure is good when the reader doesn't even notice it.

26. To write something good, just do it. To write something great, just redo it, redo it, redo it. The secret to publishing great writing is to spend a lot of time rewriting.

27. When in doubt, retreat to honesty. Say more of what you really think and feel instead of trying to sound smart.

28. Principles like what you see here are not laws. They're like a hat. If one doesn't fit, try another.

Many of these maxims are directly from @kevin2kelly's book: Excellent Advice for Living, while others are from the interview I just published with him about his approach to writing.

@ThomasKOdell @Carvana @silverrockinsur That’s a good encouragement. Thank you.

[Kyna Moore @CoachKyna]

Here’s what brand loyalty gets you today: @Carvana sold us a car w/the PROMISE to fix anything under a warranty within 120days. Today we learn the horrible sound in the a/c it CAME with: mouse built a nest. @carvana refuses 2pay. THEIR @silverrockinsur refuses 2pay. Shame on them

The results of Google’s massive two-year study on team performance revealed that the highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety, the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake. Studies show that psychological safety allows for taking moderate risks, speaking your mind, being creative, and sticking your neck out without fear of having it cut off — just the types of behavior that lead to market breakthroughs.
