Bisa nulis itu beneran sepenting itu buat otak latihan mikir đź§  

Even some of the great thinkers ngomong kaya gini:

Tim Ferriss "If you can’t write clearly, you probably don’t think very clearly."

Naval Ravikant "Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That’s why it’s so hard."

Derek Sivers "If you want to be useful, you have to learn how to write. Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking."

Richard Feynman "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. Writing helps you uncover what you truly know.”

It’s not easy (I agree), that’s why perlu yg namanya latihan.

Tp everything that exists in this world right now somehow butuh skills “nulis.”

  • Bikin video FYP di TikTok? Butuh Script

  • Jadi power user buat GenAI Tools? Butuh nulis Prompt

  • Jadi People Manager? Butuh nulis email or messages

  • Punya Agency? Butuh bikin pitching deck

Semua-mua-mua butuh skills nulis.

“Tapi kan skrng ada GenAI Drew, gampang dong ga perlu skills nulis?”

Jawabannya bisa Yes and No.

  • Yes: gampang buat generate tulisan

  • No: jd ga bisa QC ini hasilnya udah best atau mediocre.

Soooo, Here are beberapa tips that I found super useful soal Tulis Menulis!

#1 Read-Read-Read đź“– 

To be able to write, kita harus sering-sering baca.

Be it physical buku, e-book, comic, magazine, articles, baliho etc etc.

By reading kita tuh nambah reference and collection of insights yg nantinya bisa kita A-T-M.

#2 Write-Write-Write đź“ť 

To be able to write, we need to write. A lot of times.

It’s like belajar bicara, or bahasa. Butuh repetition.

Do expect the first version of our writing will be JELEK. And pasti jelek.

But ini part of the process, so it’s 100% okay.

#3 Write Like You Ngobrol 🗣️ 

Sering banget kita nulis pake bahasa yg too baku. 🪨 

Most of us yg baca this content, bukan dokumen legal.

Eventho kita nulis this document, most of us here ga dateng ke sini utk baca legal document.

We want to learn something, jadi as the writer, make sure kita nulis just like we ngobrol sama orang.

#4 Make it Public 📢 

Writing itu a long-term game. Ga bisa 1-2 hari/minggu/bulan langsung jago nulis.

You need to find and refine your style.

One of the most effective ways adalah buat share your work di public.

Not comfortable I understand (esp di awal-awal), tapi penting buat gather comments dari orang lain buat improve.

So whatever our seniority right now, please invest waktu buat belajar and latihan nulis yaa!

Beneran sebegitu pentingnya! 🚀
