idk what to do to hunker down on twitter in a slightly serious way. options: -do a big unfollow (which I've never done in 12 years) -pay attention to stats on here (I literally never look) -schedule tweets for downtimes? -tweet more about coachy stuff

in fact one of my core beliefs as a coach is that you should think really hard about your stuff in cycles (with help if necessary) but then you've gotta go do some things out in the world and life is mostly that latter thing

the thinking can help accelerate the cycle and get more from it, help you to test your own hypotheses better and integrate the learning. but in most cases it's actively pernicious to devote much continual attention to this stuff explicitly

I have considered that, except new baby brand accounts look sad. But maybe it's less pathetic looking/feeling when you've already got a legit business, as compared to when you're starting from scratch

I mean, my youngest brand account is 2y old, almost 5k, and I’ll be shutting it down with the project. No biggie. Brand accounts are just cost of doing business. Can be grown surprisingly fast.

Split them, seriously. You won't enjoy the constraints on the shitposting account, twitter will turn into a chore, and then you'll stop doing it. Death spiral. What you could do is save your full name for the pro account, and re-handle main to be fun. It's already pig latin.

yeah I catch whiffs of death spiral every time I even think about thinking about ~optimizing~ this one. ugh. happily not a big deal to have my name in more than one place/on shitposts, probably no longer conventionally employable anyways

this is one reason I don't use my name to brand my projects... if I'd started a biz like yours I'd have called it something not-my-name, like slightly evil life coaching tiago is an example of doing the integrated thing well, but you can see the cost he pays in discipline
