Working Out Loud!

I think there's a great opportunity around here to transform the face of individual development and social cooperation. Ever since joining this platform, I've been wanting to figure out a good angle to write a simplified guide to what we can do around here so any users can immediately start to improve their experience on this platform.

We've all been doing it, but maybe it deserves to be highlighted and contextualised. Here's what the concept is about:-

"Working Out Loud starts with making your work visible in such a way that it might help others. When you do that - when you work in a more open, connected way - you can build a purposeful network that makes you more effective and provides access to more opportunities."
_{by John Stepper}

Some people spend years and years just working quietly behind closed doors. Like many of us and our millions of untested ideas. I'm beginning to think, why waste so much time on developing things alone? If it takes time to develop stuff, why not just work it out in the open from day one? Similarly, I can also join in on whatever others are trying to do. Everybody's working on something anyway. The low-barrier voting micro-rewards around here adds to the notion of #WOL. So I guess such a simple frame-of-mind can immediately improve anyone's experience around here.

Personally, I think John Stepper - the person who developed #WOL might've accidentally developed a framework / culture that's very suitable for something like Steemit. With that, I'm going to attempt a book idea in a #WOL setting some time in the future, and make my Steemit routine like a #WOL routine. I think that it may be important to recognise this quality in the platform so we can explicitly encourage and inspire the spirit of contribution from time-to-time.
