The Quiet Quotient

The Flow of Narration - It’s Not About What You Say, It’s About How You Say It.

The flow of narration is the backbone of storytelling, whether you’re writing a blog post or crafting a novel. And yet, it’s often the most neglected aspect of writing. We focus on plot, characters, and structure, but without flow, all of that becomes irrelevant.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/

YouTube’s Next Move - The Everything Platform

YouTube just made it clear, it’s not a video platform. It’s the platform. The company’s 2025 strategy is about one thing, total dominance. Every screen, every format, every piece of attention. Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/

AI is Moving Fast. You Should Be Too - Hesitate, and You’re Irrelevant.

AI isn’t waiting for you to get comfortable. It’s not pausing while you “figure it out.” It’s moving, fast. And if you’re standing still, you’re not just falling behind. You’re becoming irrelevant.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/

Context in Writing - Why It’s Your Superpower

If you’re reading this, you probably understand the fundamentals of writing. Grammar, structure, syntax—these are the nuts and bolts that keep your writing functioning. But context?

The Content Game and Becoming a Better Writer

The content game is broken. Not just cracked or dented. Shattered. Platforms reward outrage, engagement metrics fuel cheap dopamine hits, and brands chase headlines like they’re oxygen. The result. An ocean of noise, a desert of originality.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/

Take the Risk - Writing Like You Mean It

Most writing is safe, predictable, and bland. You know it when you see it, the LinkedIn post packed with corporate buzzwords, the novel that feels like a copy of every bestseller on the shelf.

How to Stay Creative When Writing Feels Like a Chore

Creativity isn’t a divine gift—it’s a discipline. And like any discipline, it’s subject to friction: burnout, boredom, self-doubt. But here’s the good news, friction is a feature, not a bug.

The Productivity Paradox Why You Need to Chill Out

In the religion of modern work, productivity is our god. We optimize, automate, and stack our calendars like Tetris blocks, believing that the more we do, the more we’ll have—money, status, fulfillment. But here’s the paradox. Excessive productivity isn’t just counterproductive. It’s self-destructive.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/

The Enigma of DeepSeek AI

If DeepSeek AI were a character in a story, it’d be the brilliant, unflappable operator who steps into the plot and shifts the entire trajectory. Think Jason Bourne meets Sherlock Holmes—with a hint of Yoda. But here’s the real question: can DeepSeek really live up to the hype? Let’s break it down and interrogate this so-called protagonist.Connect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-hansen-b67412169/
