That's quite a goal @ssimkins99. I know I've read some of your posts, but I am wondering if you will be including reflections on the process. I think that would be interesting to read about. I think you're right to focus more on what you contribute, and let everything else follow (although I'd also be interested in hearing about your strategy). My strategy has simply been to find people that write things I find interesting, but that's easier said than done here. The last week has been a goo done, and I have gotten involved in some cool projects. It looks like I am going to be writing about running, which is not what I expected when I started.

That's a great suggestion! I had not really thought about writing reflections, but I love that idea. Maybe I'll do a half-way post and a final reflection. I expect those to be quite different, as things seem to change quickly on here while just starting out.
I am actually in the process of writing a more general strategy post. I've had several in-person friends, who have thought about joining Steemit, ask me about what exactly it is, or how to use it. So, I thought why not write a post about it that they can read and others might benefit from as well. I will be including my approach to the platform in that post.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Please consider tagging that intro post with #communication, as I’ve been tracking it closely through Ginabot. I know, only 5 tags, but if you can spare one.
I'll definitely look into that! I am always looking for a good tag suggestion. Sometimes I struggle to find five that I feel good about, other times I have 10 I want to use and have to pick!
Oh wow, the discussions between both of you triggers so many ideas to me. Now, I will also use this new tag so that we make the #communication tag more popular and relate it to #hellohellosteemit as it is all about communicating well with each other.
Hi all, yeah I thought also about reflection while doing this project. I will do a review of all the contents here and pick up the best one to highlight in relation to the subject. A summary of comments that will provide everyone the reflection of what was written. All good comments must not be forgotten and must be highlighted for the benefits of others.
That's a great idea too! Sometimes, as is the case here, the number of great comments can get overwhelming for me to read. But I love the idea of you highlighting/summarizing some of them. Thanks.
Hi @ssimkins9, I am very happy to see all the positive threads that appears here. Oh wow, how my wishes come true. Thanks so much for your kind support and I wish you a pleasant day.
I think that would be really valuable @ainie.kashif. I just finished teaching my interpersonal communication class, and today I was leading the class through some exercises that help set up the research they will do later in the semester. Not to be too technical but we follow a research method called hermeneutical phonomenology, which basically means we use multiple texts (including personal narratives) to explore lived experience, or communication phenomena. Looking more closely at post comments, and more important the way we connect through them, is an example of this type of research. Looking at details gives us deeper insight into the dynamics. How do we connect? What does it mean to connect? What value do these connections really have to us? Just of few of the questions that could be explored.
Yes great point, it will become tedious as I start but as we move along more regularly, I will definitely understand which point to focus when doing my reflections review, thanks @cstrimel, have a nice day!
