Well day 2 of conscientiously reading more is going well. I must say I'm noticing that the reading often ends up with me watching a video or listening to a podcast! It would seem that the amount of watching and listening time yesterday exceeded the reading time. So I'll keep an eye on that. It wasn't so much not wanting to read, but I wanted to follow the ideas, and the last podcast was pretty good!
This goes to show me that these mediums are so important today, and that is why a lot of members on this site are recommending to get into them. I certainly do get a lot of value out of watching and listening too.
Don't you just hate those You Tube ads that come on and tell ya you're wasting your time, and say that you should instead watch this instead... but I digress
The big thing that is sticking out and I can't ignore is that...
I have to make a decision!
All the reading yesterday pointed to this fact. I have to decide which website I'll focus on.

This is the core of the creative dilemma... to narrow down possibilities when the creative is naturally looking for more possibilities. It has me wringing my hands. It might be a FOMO in relation to the ideas I won't be pursuing.
What are the issues? Why won't I make the decision? Maybe because I've allowed myself to be in brainstorming mode, and I just need to bring it all down to basics and just decide to decide.
So... I'm giving myself this reading week to do just that. Decide on which website to go for and run with it. Even if I just need to toss a coin or something in the end, I'm going to make a decision by 3rd July. From then on, I'm going to just go with that for around 6 months. Then I'll reconsider. If I'm maintaining a rate of posting at least 3 times a week with good enough quality and traction... maybe just maybe I'll let myself diversify after 3 months. Imagine that, 6 months of moving forward as opposed to 6 months of pondering.
Already I know that decision may not be the best, regardless of how I make it, but if there's anything that was drummed into me last week, it is that by taking action I'll learn the most. Staying in analysis paralysis won't get me anywhere.
Getting back to that podcast late last night...
They said that today it is more important than ever to both focus on the one website, niche down into very specific topics, with quite a lot of detail, and it's also more important to build just that little bit faster than in the past. Something that just can't be done if I'm spreading myself too thin.
As this is reflecting what has been said on this platform many times over, I had to say to myself, "Just do it" (as much as I dislike that phrase). Choose one and stick to that one for a substantial period of time.
In the mean time, if you have anything great to read I wouldn't mind any recommendations you have!
So I'm curious if you had difficulties deciding what niche to go for?
